01About the course
What you will learn in Networking & Network Security
Networking is the work of connecting computers, servers, phones and devices so they can share data safely and reliably. A network engineer plans IP addresses, configures switches and routers, sets up VLANs and routing protocols such as OSPF and EIGRP, and keeps services like DHCP, DNS and NAT running. Network security adds firewalls, VPNs, AAA and access control so that only the right people and traffic get through.
This page is for learners outside Vellore, Katpadi and Ranipet – NRIs, professionals in the Gulf and other countries, and students elsewhere in India who want Networking & Network Security taught live by a trainer.
Basic computer knowledge is enough for the routing and switching course. For the network security course, you should already understand IP addressing, VLANs and basic routing, or complete the routing and switching course first.
