Instructor-led Course Catalog

Course Purpose

After completing this course, you should be able to: Demonstrate understanding of basic Ethernet networking skills, terminology and concepts; Apply these skills when performing advanced network specification, configuration and troubleshooting tasks.

In this course, you will learn how to verify communications between devices, recognize data transmission types and differentiate between OSI Model Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching functions. You will also identify the routing process, monitor a switch using Device Manager and CLI commands and work with IOS configuration files. This course prepares you to more clearly understand key IT terms and concepts for communicating with other professionals on projects in support of The Connected Enterprise.

Objectives

After completing this course, students should be able to perform the following tasks:

  • Interpreting an Ethernet network hardware layout
  • Verifying communications between two Ethernet devices
  • Interpreting basic data flow of host-to-host Ethernet communications
  • Recognizing Ethernet data transmission types
  • Recognizing Layer 2 switching functions on an Ethernet network
  • Recognizing Ethernet network loop avoidance protocols
  • Interpreting the Network Address Translation (NAT) scheme for an Ethernet network
  • Accessing Ethernet switch information using CLI commands
  • Recognizing Layer 3 switching functions on an Ethernet network
  • Copying and removing IOS configuration files on an Ethernet switch

Who Should Attend

Operations Technology (OT) professionals (such as control engineers) and others responsible for installing, configuring and/or maintaining industrial devices on an Ethernet network should attend this course.

Prerequisites

To successfully complete this course, the ability to perform basic Windows operating system tasks is required.

Student Materials

To enhance and facilitate the students’ learning experiences, the following materials are provided as part of the course package:

  • Student Manual includes the key concepts, definitions, examples, and activities presented in this course
  • Lab Book provides learning activities and hands-on practice. Solutions are included after each exercise for immediate feedback
  • EtherNet/IP Procedures Guide provides the steps required to complete tasks common to configuring devices to communicate over an EtherNet/IP network
  • Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference contains comprehensive list of switch and router commands
  • Using the Command-line Interface part of the Cisco Systems Software Configuration Guide (Industrial Ethernet 2000 Switch) shows more detailed breakdown of Cisco interface

Hands-on Practice

Throughout this course, you will have the opportunity to practice the skills you have learned through a variety of hands-on exercises using a Stratix 5700 EtherNet/IP Industrial Switch workstation (ABT-TDENET5700) and Stratix® 8000 switch. Exercises focus on the skills introduced in each lesson.
