CompTIA A+ Core 1: Networking Fundamentals

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Modern computer environments are connected environments. Having a good grasp of networking enables IT professionals to better design, maintain, and troubleshoot these interconnected systems. In this course, explore networking fundamentals, beginning with networking ports and protocols, TCP vs. UDP, switches and routers, access points, repeaters, and extenders. Next, learn about patch panels, firewalls, Power over Ethernet (PoE), hubs and bridges, and cable and Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) modems. Finally, examine optical network terminals (ONTs), network interface cards (NICs), software-defined networking (SDN), network topologies, and subnetting. This course is one of a collection that prepares learners for the CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1201) exam.
