You get 21 hours 13 minutes of training across 81 videos, plus 238 test questions.

What you will learn

  • Plan IPv4 addressing schemes and configure hosts
  • Manage and troubleshoot IPv4 connections
  • Implement IPv6 and run it alongside IPv4
  • Deploy, manage and troubleshoot DHCP
  • Set up DNS servers and zones, including Active Directory integration
  • Troubleshoot name resolution
  • Deploy and use IP Address Management (IPAM)
  • Set up VPNs, DirectAccess and Web Application Proxy
  • Protect the network with Windows Firewall with Advanced Security and IPsec

Course outline

  1. Plan and Implement IPv4 and IPv6 Networks: addressing, host setup, troubleshooting and coexistence
  2. Installing and Configuring DHCP: the DHCP role, deployment, management and troubleshooting
  3. Installing and Configuring DNS: servers, zones, AD integration, advanced settings and troubleshooting
  4. Implementing and Managing IP Address Management: deploying IPAM and managing address space
  5. Implementing Remote Access: Web Application Proxy, VPNs and DirectAccess
  6. Securing the Network Infrastructure: Windows Firewall with Advanced Security and IPsec

The course starts with IP addressing, as every other service depends on it. It then covers the services that hand out addresses and resolve names, DHCP and DNS, before showing how IPAM pulls them together. The later modules move to remote access with VPNs and DirectAccess, and finish with firewall and IPsec rules to protect the network.

Who this course is for

  • Network administrators working with Windows Server
  • Systems engineers who manage network services
  • IT staff who were working towards the MCSA in Windows Server 2016
  • IT students who want to focus on network management

Before you start

A basic understanding of networking ideas, such as IP addresses and subnets, is helpful. Beginners can still enrol, as the course starts with IPv4 addressing.

The course is made up of 81 video lessons with a total running time of 21 hours 13 minutes. You can watch at your own pace, pause and replay any lesson, and come back to a topic whenever you need it. When you finish, use the 238 test questions to check what you have learned and spot any areas to review.
