At a glance
ProCurve Fundamental WAN Technologies 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).
Format offered
This material is designed for self-paced learning. It is currently available as an Adobe PDF document and will become available in a series of recorded webinar sessions soon (approximately 8-10 hours total).
Audience
Network engineers who have experience managing LANs but need to expand their knowledge of WAN technologies. This material is a prerequisite for the ProCurve Secure WAN course.
Prerequisites
Adaptive EDGE Fundamentals (v4.11 or higher)
