TRN-101-ECL: Network Analysis and Troubleshooting (Self Paced)
Network Analysis and Troubleshooting focuses on the tools and techniques used to effectively analyze network communications using the Sniffer Analyzer application and network management solution. Network managers and technicians supporting medium and large enterprise-wide networks will benefit from the training. Participants learn how to analyze, troubleshoot, and understand current networking technologies and apply networking best practices. Troubleshooting and analysis skills are reinforced through hands-on exercises and an interactive feature called “Try it now!” using condensed exercises to enhance critical skills and concepts.

This course is an 18-hour self-paced course that includes recorded sessions, a student manual, and guided hands-on labs focused on key aspects of network analysis and troubleshooting critical to effective network management. The student will be presented with concepts and encouraged to perform hands-on exercises to support the learning process.

TRN-101-TCL: Network Analysis and Troubleshooting (3 day course)
Network Analysis and Troubleshooting focuses on the tools and techniques used to effectively analyze network communications using the Sniffer® Analyzer application and network management solution. This three-day introductory course provides the training needed by network managers and technicians supporting medium and large enterprise-wide networks.  Participants learn how to analyze, troubleshoot, and understand current networking technologies and apply networking best practices.  Troubleshooting and analysis skills are reinforced through hands-on exercises and an interactive feature called “Try it now!” using condensed exercises to enhance critical skills and concepts.

TRN-102-ECL: Application Performance Analysis and Troubleshooting (Self Paced)
Application Performance Analysis and Troubleshooting allows participants to gain the fundamental skills and knowledge needed to manage applications in large- and medium-size networks. This introductory course is designed to enable network professionals to identify the key factors that affect how applications perform on the network and to apply monitoring and reporting tools that measure performance in real-time. Participants examine the fundamental differences in application types, identify inherent network constraints, apply troubleshooting techniques to solve common application problems, and use monitoring tools for proactive measurement of application performance.

This course is a 15-hour self-paced course that includes recorded sessions, a student manual, and guided hands-on labs focused on key aspects of performance analysis and troubleshooting critical to effective network management. The student will be presented with concepts and encouraged to perform hands-on exercises to support the learning process.

TRN-105-TCL: Introduction to IPv6 (2 day course)
The course introduces the fundamental elements of Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6).  The course begins with an historical overview of and brief introduction to the Internet Protocol in general and then provides foundational concepts as to why the 6th version of the protocol was developed, starting in the early 1990s.  The course presents the current status of the global transition to IPv6 and the key tenets of how a transition should occur, including a look at the elements of a transition plan.  The course provides an overview of the technologies and features of the IPv6 protocol, including critical elements needed for a successful transition, including addressing, Domain Name Service (DNS), routing, and data-link (layer 2 protocol) support.  IPv6 security issues are presented with a focus on maximizing security during the transition period and security policies that should be considered.  IPv6 Requests for Comment (RFCs) are outlined such that the full-scope of the protocol can be researchable by students.  Finally, IPv6 is assessed from a strategic planning perspective and its potential future capabilities presented and discussed.
