Course Outline

 

Module 1: Plan and implement IPv4

This module details how to plan and implement an IPv4 addressing scheme to support your organization’s needs. The module also explains how to use fundamental networking tools and techniques to configure and troubleshoot IPv4-based networks.

 

Lessons

Plan IPv4 addressing

Configure IPv4

Manage and troubleshoot IPv4

 

Lab 1: Plan an IPv4 addressing scheme

Plan the IPv4 address assignments

Verify IPv4 communication

Troubleshoot IPv4

 

Module 2: Implement DHCP

Automatic IP configuration makes it easier to manage IP hosts. In this module, students learn how to deploy and manage the DHCP server role, select a high-availability option for DHCP, and configure DHCP failover.

 

Lessons

What is DHCP?

Deploy DHCP

Manage DHCP high availability

Manage and troubleshoot DHCP

Lab 1: Implement DHCP

Plan a DHCP server implementation

Implement the DHCP configuration

Implement DHCP failover

Validate the DHCP implementation

 

Module 3: Plan and implement IPv6

This module details how to plan and implement an IPv6 addressing scheme to support your organization’s needs. It also includes specifics about configuring coexistence between IPv4 and IPv6 and explains options for transitioning to IPv6.

 

Lessons

Module 4: Implement name resolution with DNS

This module explains the fundamentals of using Domain Name System (DNS) for simple name resolution, and then details more advanced topics, such as the GlobalNames zone, Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC), and split-brain syndrome. These modules detail how you can install, configure, and troubleshoot DNS within an organization’s network.

 

Lessons

Validate a DNS implementation

Troubleshoot DNS

 

Module 5: Implement and manage IPAM

This module introduces IPAM functionality, explains how to deploy IPAM, and shows student how to manage DNS and DHCP functionality by using IPAM.

 

Lessons

What is IPAM?

Deploy IPAM

Manage IP address spaces with IPAM

 

Lab 1: Implement IPAM

Install the IPAM Server feature

Provision the IPAM Server

Manage IP address spaces by using IPAM

 

Module 6: Implement remote access

In this module, students learn how to implement remote access technologies in Windows Server.They will also learn about different implementation scenarios for small or medium-sized organizations and enterprise organizations. In Windows Server, four component technologies—virtual private network (VPN), DirectAccess, Routing, and Web Application Proxy—integrate into a single, unified server role called Remote Access.

 

Lessons

Overview of remote access options

Implement WAPPlan VPNs

 

Lab 1: Implement a Web Application Proxy

Implement Web Application Proxy

Validate a Web Application Proxy deployment

 

Lab 2: Implement a VPN

Implement VPN

Validate the VPN deployment

Troubleshoot VPN access

 

Module 7: Implement branch office networking

In this module, students learn several ways in which to use Windows Server to overcome the limitations of branch-office scenarios. They’ll learn about using Distributed File System (DFS) and Windows BranchCache.

 

Lessons

Networking features and considerations for branch offices

Implement DFSR

Implement BranchCahe for branch offices

 

Lab 1: Implement DFS for branch offices

Implement DFS

Validate the deployment

 

Lab 2: Implement Branch

Cache Implement Branch Cache

Validate the deployment

 

Module 8: Implement advanced networking

Windows Server includes advanced high-performance networking features, such as server message block (SMB) 3.1.1, Quality of Service (QoS) options, and several enhancements on the receiving end of network packet processing. Additionally, high-performance networking features are available to the Microsoft Hyper-V role and the virtual machines (VMs) that are running under Hyper V, such as expanded virtual-switch functionality and extensibility, single-root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV), dynamic virtual-machine queuing, and NIC Teaming for VMs.

 

In this module, you will learn how to deploy and configure advanced networking in Windows Server and the new Hyper-V networking features.
