Packet Analysis Boot Camp (PABC)


Who Should Attend
Network administrators, network managers and all technical staff who are responsible for planning, implementing and ensuring high performance operation of their data networks.

Prerequisites
Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices (ICND1) 

Course Objectives
The Packet Analysis Boot Camp is a combination of the two individual classes, Packet Analysis with Etheral/Wireshark Analyser (PAE) and Advanced Packet Analysis with Etheral/Wireshark Analyser (APAE). 
 
Participants will receive a comprehensive introduction into the features, functions and the usage of the Wireshark Analyzer and will learn methods and techniques about monitoring, analysis and troubleshooting of their networks from the packet level. This course will also focus on the detailed analysis and troubleshooting of typical network protocols and applications with specific focus on switched Ethernet, TCP/IP networks and TCP/IP based applications.
