Video: Corey Edwards at UTOSC 2009 – “Networking 101″
Maybe you’ve heard of ARP, netmasks or routing tables but aren’t quite sure what they are. Perhaps you know what a firewall does but aren’t sure how to set one up in Linux. Those and many more questions are answered in this entry-level course on networking. When you’re done you’ll be ready to go forth and network the world. Or your apartment, at least.
Topics we cover:
* Protocols: IP, ARP, TCP, UDP, ICMP, DNS
* OSI 7 layer model, IETF we-don’t-need-no-stinkin’-models model
* IP addresses (IPv4, touching on IPv6)
* Networking commands in Linux
* Firewall principles, with examples for Linux
* Routing. What makes a router a router anyway?
Corey has been a Network and Systems Engineer at a Wyoming ISP for the last 5 years, and as such gets to use all sorts of fun network and server tools. Outside of the lab he’s interested in hiking, cooking, gardening and photography.
