The Introduction to Local Area Networks course explains the concepts, technologies, components, and protocols used in local area networking (LAN) environments. Students will learn about the popular LAN protocols of Ethernet, Token Ring, and asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), with emphasis on all speeds of Ethernet. This course also introduces the most widely used network operating systems: Novell NetWare, Windows NT, and Windows 2000. When students complete this course, they will have a solid understanding of the fundamental concepts of LAN operation. This knowledge provides a clear advantage when taking other courses to learn how to administer specific network operating systems.
