Planning

This chapter helps you prepare for the exam by covering
the following Planning objective:
Given a scenario, identify valid network
configurations.
. This is a very general objective as there are many
aspects of a valid network configuration. Essentially,
this objective indicates that you will need to have
the background provided by the Networking
Essentials exam and understand what configurations
of TCP/IP are valid.
. This chapter does not cover this objective entirely,
and you will need to understand IP Addressing,
subnetting, and routing to fully prepare yourself for
the exam. These topics are covered in subsequent
chapters. This chapter covers some of the technologies
that are used to connect networks, the basics of
the TCP/IP Network Architecture, and more.
