		   Building a TCP/IP Wide Area Network
		**** Two Saturdays, November 14 & 21 ****

X418.2 Computer and Information Sciences (1)

Connecting groups of Local Area Networks (LAN) into campus Metropolitan Area
Networks (MAN) or global Wide Area Networks (WAN) allow users in one part of
an organization to share information and files with users in another part of
the organization. The TCP/IP protocol suite was designed to handle the
inter-connection of LANs into a Wide Area Internet. The issues involved in
connecting groups of LANs together are different than the issues of connecting
computers to a LAN. Issues of routers, reliability, performance, and network
security become important.

This course was designed for the MIS professional or UNIX system administrator
who want to understand the technologies used in building a Wide Area Network
(WAN) using TCP/IP routers, dial-up phone lines, and leased lines. The cisco
router is used to explain how to configure and install a dedicated router.
Building a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) by connecting small Ethernet LANs
using a fiber optic FDDI backbone is covered. Connecting a corporate WAN to
the world wide Internet is explained. Network security implications and how to
build a firewall router is covered.

Topics covered include:
	TCP/IP protocols used with WANs
		Point to Point Protocol (PPP)
		Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP)
		Boarder Gateway Protocol (BGP)
		Open Shortest Path First (OPSF)
		IS to IS protocol
	Leased line circuits types and services
		Analog 9.6 Kb and 56 Kb
		Digital 56 Kb and fractional T1
		T1, T3, DS-1, and DS-4
		SONET, Frame Relay, SMDS
	TCP/IP over X.25
	FDDI
	Understanding TCP/IP routers
	Building a campus network using FDDI
	Building a WAN using leased lines
	Building a WAN using dial-up phone lined lines
	Connecting to the Internet
	Building a firewall router
	WAN network security
	Working with your long distance service provider

The "Building a UNIX TCP/IP Wide Area Network" course is part of a series of
five two-day classes is designed for the MIS professional or UNIX system
administrator who wishes to install, configure, and debug Ethernet TCP/ IP
networks.  This series of classes provide a through grounding in the concepts
behind installing and managing a TCP/IP network, as well as practical
suggestions and pitfalls of managing TCP/IP networks

Each course covers a different area of UNIX TCP/IP networking:

"Ethernet Local Area Networks" covers the physical wiring of the network,
Ethernet data packets, Ethernet addressing, and Ethernet debugging
Offered Winter '92, Two Saturdays, Jan 30 & Feb 2, Fee: $325

"The TCP/IP Protocol Suite" covers routing protocols, the TCP and UDP
protocols, Berkeley sockets, connecting a UNIX workstation to the network, and
the common user network applications, Telnet. FTP, rlogin, rsh, and rcp.
Offered Winter '92, Two Saturdays, Feb 20 & 27, Fee: $325

"Network File System (NFS) and Network Information Service (NIS)" covers the 
Sun Network File System including setting up and managing NFS and NIS, the 
automounter, PC NFS, and NFS debugging.
Offered Winter '92, Two Saturdays, March 6 & 13, Fee: $325

"Managing a UNIX TCP/IP Network" covers the issues and responsibilities of 
managing a UNIX TCP/IP network. The Simple Network Management Protocol 
(SNMP) and the domain naming system (named) are covered.
Two Saturdays, TBD, Fee: $325

"Building a TCP/IP Wide Area Network" covers technologies for building a Wide
Area Network (WAN) using TCP/IP routers, dial-up phone lines, and leased
lines.  Building a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) by connecting small
Ethernet LANs using a fiber optic FDDI backbone is also covered.
Two Saturdays, November 14 & 21, 9 AM to 5 PM, Fee:  $325, EDP number: 922S41

While these seminars are designed as a series to give a thorough understanding
of TCP/IP networking, it is not necessary to enroll in the whole series. With
the proper prerequisites, students are free to pick and choose any of the
seminars to meet their particular needs on the subject.


Instructor: Robert Harker is a consultant specializing in networking and
system administration issues with large networks of Sun workstations. Mr.
Harker has 7 years of networking and system administration with Sun
workstation and was involved the initial introduction of NFS and the first
show wide TCP/IP network at Uniforum, 1985. Mr. Harker was formerly with
National Semiconductor where he designed and implemented a network of 100 Sun
workstations.
