| Course contents, Benefits and Positioning |
| The Internet Protocol (IP) Primer is a web-based (e-learning) course that presents the concepts of Internet and Internet Protocol (IP), explains the basics of IP routing and provides the commands required to configure IP on Cisco routers with LAN and WAN interfaces. Through presentations, review questions and lab exercises the students are given information sufficient to describe the IP solutions for simple network environments usually present within small to medium-sized businesses. Students are exposed to all basic configuration procedures on low-end Cisco routers needed to deploy a simple IP internetwork.
The Internet Protocol (IP) Primer covers the basic aspects of internetworking in IP world and gives the students the foundation knowledge of internet routing. The course starts with explaining the basic facts of networking concepts and technologies. The knowledge gained allows the student to explain the IP protocol and IP related services. Furthermore the course builds on the IP technology and provides the student with implementation details of IP and IP routing.
The lab exercises on configuring Cisco routers for basic IP functionality are available as a remote lab.
