Module Descriptions:

Welcome and Getting Started: Prepare yourself for efficiently and successfully completing the course. You’ll get an overview of what the course is all about and what you should expect out of it.

Binary Numbers: Subnetting requires a deep understanding of how binary numbers work. In this module, You’ll get an in-depth look at binary numbers and practice working with those numbers.

IP Addresses: You’ll dive deep into IP addresses, how they are used, be introduced to networking, practice identifying IP address classes, and be able to identify address types.

Subnetting: Time for the main event. In this module, you’ll gain a deep understanding of subnetting. We’ll figure out how to break apart a network into subnetworks so we can better utilize the IPv4 addressing space.

Subnetting Ranges: We’ll be figuring out how to determine the range of any given network and subnetwork. You’ll get lots of practice subnetting class A, B, and C addresses.

VLSM: Now that you understand subnetting, it’s time to take it to the next level. VLSM stands for Variable Length Subnet Mask. It’s the same as subnetting, but each subnet can vary in length. As a bonus, you’ll also get some insight and practice into summarization.

Hexadecimal: Many computer functions are displayed in hexadecimal format, to include IPv6. You’ll get a great understanding of Hexadecimal numbers and how to work with them. A big part of this module will go over converting between hexadecimal numbers and binary and decimal numbers.

IPv6 Addresses: You’ll study the differences between IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and how IPv6 addresses work. 

IPv6 Subnetting: Time for subnetting IPv6 addresses. Spoiler: Once you understand subnetting and hexadecimal numbers, subnetting IPv6 networks are a breeze.

Network Architecting: Understanding how to subnet IPv4 and IPv6 is a crucial part to passing certification tests and proficiently engineering networks. However, understanding the fundamentals does not always translate to real world situations. In this module, you’ll get insight into what you’ll find in the outside world.

Wrap Up: Time to wrap up the course and provide any final thoughts.
