Ethernet Local Area Networks
		**** Two Saturdays, January 30 & February 6 ****

X416.6 Computer and Information Sciences (1)

Ethernet has emerged as the most common networking technology for building
high speed Local Area Networks (LAN). This class is designed for the MIS
professional or UNIX system administrator who needs to install. configure, and
debug Ethernet LAN networks. This class covers the hardware and wiring systems
used in building Ethernet LANs. To understand how Ethernet works, the Ethernet
data frame format and Ethernet addressing are explained. Debugging an Ethernet
network using standard networking commands, cable testers, and protocol
analyzers is covered.

Topics cover Include:
	The OSI 7 layer model
	Ethernet data frames
	Ethernet addressing
	Ethernet networking hardware
		10BASE-5, thick Ethernet
		10BASE-2, thin Ethernet
		10BASE-T, twisted pair Ethernet
	Structured Wiring System (wiring closets)
	Ethernet bridges
	TCP/IP routers
	Techniques for Ethernet debugging

Prerequisites: Attendees should have a working knowledge of UNIX commands and
a basic understanding of UNIX system administration. The "UNIX System
Administration, X494" course is recommended

The "Ethernet Local Area Networks" 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
Two Saturdays, Jan 30 & Feb 2, Fee: $325, EDP number: 923D18

"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.
Two Saturdays, Feb 20 & 27, Fee: $325, EDP number: 923D19

"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.
Two Saturdays, March 6 & 13, Fee: $325, EDP number: 923D20

"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.
Monday & Tuesday March 8 & 9, 9 AM to 5 PM, Fee:  $325, EDP number: 923D21

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.
