Learn how to design, implement, secure, troubleshoot, and maintain enterprise computer networks using real-world architectures and industry best practices.
19 modules and 5 complete real-project design packages, with worked calculations, diagrams, field documentation, and a certificate of completion.
OSI/TCP-IP models, Ethernet, IPv4, IPv6, MAC addresses, frames, packets, and broadcast/collision domains.
Routers, Layer 2/3 switches, firewalls, wireless controllers, and load balancers — how engineers select and deploy them.
The program’s hallmark module — 17 concept pairs from routing vs. switching to zero trust and overlay vs. underlay.
IPv4, IPv6, CIDR, VLSM, supernetting, and address planning — with many practical worked exercises.
VLANs, STP/RSTP/MSTP, EtherChannel, trunking, port security, and QoS.
Static routing, OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, route redistribution, policy-based routing, and first-hop redundancy.
Wi-Fi 6/6E/7, RF basics, AP placement, roaming, WPA3, and wireless surveys.
Firewalls, ACLs, VPNs, IDS/IPS, NAC, Zero Trust, MFA, and network hardening.
Spine-leaf architecture, core-distribution-access, SAN/NAS, redundancy, and disaster recovery.
AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud networking, hybrid cloud, site-to-site VPN, and SD-WAN.
DNS, DHCP, NTP, Active Directory integration, RADIUS/TACACS+, and PKI.
SNMP, syslog, NetFlow, monitoring platforms, performance baselines, and capacity planning.
Network automation concepts, APIs, Python, Ansible, and Infrastructure as Code.
Physical/logical network diagrams, rack layouts, cable schedules, IP address plans, and VLAN tables.
Structured methodology for connectivity issues, routing problems, VLAN mismatches, and STP loops.
The program’s baseline commercial project — every later project deviates from this architecture in a specific, named way.
A segmented medical device network, guest Wi-Fi, and secure clinical systems networking.
Office network vs. industrial network separation, and VLAN segmentation between corporate and plant-floor traffic.
A non-blocking spine-leaf fabric, redundant links, and storage networking.
A multi-building fiber backbone and high-density wireless coverage across a large campus.
Network standards, documentation, change management, and disaster recovery planning.
A downloadable kit of 12 real project templates, from IP address plans to change management requests.
A final design assignment, drawing-interpretation and troubleshooting exercises, and your certificate of completion.
12 real project templates — an IP address plan, a VLAN table, physical and logical network diagram checklists, a rack elevation template, a cable schedule, a firewall rule documentation template, a change management request template, a network acceptance testing checklist, a configuration backup log, an RFI template, and a punch list template. Available for download from Module 18 (Documentation & Resource Kit) once you've unlocked the program.
Coming later: configuration templates and video demonstrations. Not included in this release.
