Troubleshooting TCP/IP

Analyzing the Protocols of the Internet

This one-day tutorial will focus on typical problems and solutions that arise when using the TCP/IP protocols. We will study the Internet protocols (TCP and IP), and many related Network and Transport Layer protocols (UDP, ICMP, ARP, RARP, RIP, OSPF, EGP and BGP). Included will be an overview of some of the Application protocols (TELNET, FTP, SMTP, BOOTP, TFTP and HTTP), plus the internetwork management standard, SNMP. We will illustrate the techniques of TCP/IP protocol analysis using case studies captured from live internetworks, and will examine these with a Network General Snifferâ protocol analyzer.

Case Studies

During class, we will demonstrate the techniques of TCP/IP protocol analysis using case studies that have been captured from live internetworks, that illustrate problems such as:

Incompatible LAN frame formats
File transfers over frame relay networks
Processes used for a remote host login
Message fragmentation and reassembly
Identifying duplicate IP addresses
Solving routing problems using ICMP redirects
OSPF broadcast messages
Using BOOTP for remote device configurations
Establishing and terminating TCP connections
Diagnosing a reset TCP connection
Loading remote boot images using FTP
Diagnosing incompatible TELNET parameters
Integrating TCP and ATM operation
NetBIOS and TCP interactions
WWW Access using HTTP
SNMP manager/agent operation

Who Should Attend

Engineers, software developers, or network managers needing in-depth knowledge of the TCP/IP protocol suite, and techniques for analyzing TCP/IP-related internetwork problems.

Course Materials

Each student will receive a copy of Troubleshooting TCP/IP, 3rd edition, by Mark A. Miller, P.E. and published by IDG Books Worldwide, Inc., copies of the TCP/IP, RIP and OSPF Protocol Reference Guides, and also a CD with over 2000 IETF documents.
