Overview
Need a basic primer on networks? In this video, network designer and teacher Bruce Hartpence presents an introduction to networking for those who are just getting started or need a refresher. You’ll come away with a broad understanding of how networks operate and what’s required to build them, along with some knowledge of how to use specific tools to build various topologies.
Bruce introduces network standards and vendors, such as ITU-T, IEEE, IETF, Cisco, Juniper, and Avaya, as well as various network components including the Network Interface Card (NIC), access points, routers and switches. You’ll also learn about:
- Local Area Network (LAN) Protocols such as Ethernet Type II and 802.3

- Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) and trunks
- Routing protocols such as OSPF (Open Shortest Path First), Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and a small dynamic routing topology
