Lab Architecture:
This Hands-on Training provides simulations of fundamental networking concepts and topics such as network topologies, wired and wireless LANs, and various protocols across the OSI model. Participants will acquire necessary methodologies for detecting and troubleshooting issues throughout diverse scenarios involving server-client interactions, VLANs, subnetting, and other pertinent aspects.

Lab Objectives:
- Gain expertise in network topologies for efficient design and - optimization.
- Understand LAN, WLAN, and WAN configurations through hands-on practice.
- Improve troubleshooting with MAC addresses, Ethernet, and CSMA/CD knowledge.
- Achieve end-to-end network visibility with OSI model protocol analysis.
- Enhance diagnostic skills using Wireshark for packet inspection and issue resolution.
Lab Architecture:
This Hands-on Training consists of a simulated network environment with routers, switches, and hosts connected through ethernet links.

Lab Objectives:
- Gain a clear understanding of the roles of switches and routers in networking.
- Develop knowledge of Layer 2 concepts, including VLANs and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and more.
- Understand Layer 3 networking, including static routing, dynamic routing protocols (OSPF, BGP), and external routing.
- Learn fundamental security concepts, including VPNs, firewalls, and secure remote access using SSH.
- Acquire an introduction to network automation as a foundation for advanced labs.
