COURSE ID 25463

ProCurve Fundamental WAN Technologies v5.31 helps network engineers and network administrators understand the underlying standards and technologies that are used to create WAN connections—from the public carrier to the customer‘s site. The course provides an in-depth explanation of different types of WAN connections—including T-carrier line, E-carrier line, Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN), and Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)—and the data-link-layer protocols that control the transfer of data across these physical connections. This course also describes security and traffic-management features that are available on many routers today: firewalls, virtual private network (VPNs), and Quality of Service (QoS).

Student performance objectives

After completing ProCurve Fundamental WAN Technologies v5.31, students will be able to:

  • Describe the basic elements of a WAN connection
  • Explain the role that public carrier networks play in creating WAN connections
  • Define data-link-layer protocols and explain the role they play in creating WAN connections
  • Describe the specific characteristics and the physical infrastructure of carrier line WAN connections
  • Describe the specific characteristics and the physical infrastructure of Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) WAN connections
  • Describe the specific characteristics of Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) WAN connections
  • Describe the physical infrastructure of Asymmetric DSL (ADSL) WAN connections and describe how data is transmitted from the customer's premises to the broadband network and the Internet
  • Explain the relationship between Frame Relay and WAN connections
  • Describe how data travels through a Frame Relay network
  • Define a VPN and explain how Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) is used to create VPNs
  • Describe the firewall architectures that can be used to provide security for a company's internal network
  • Explain what QoS means and describe methods of enforcing QoS: classifying traffic, policing traffic, shaping traffic, and managing congestion
  • Explain the purpose of exterior routing protocols and describe the way they work
