MTA Networking Fundamentals Exam 98-366 from Wiley is an online course designed for individuals who are interested in obtaining the Microsoft Technology Associate (MTA) certification in Networking Fundamentals. The course is based on Exam 98-366, which tests the participant's knowledge and skills in fundamental networking concepts, such as networking hardware, protocols, addressing, and troubleshooting.

The course is organized into six modules, each covering a specific networking topic. The first module, Understanding Local Area Networking, introduces the participant to the basics of networking, including the definition of a network, the different types of networks, and the components of a typical local area network. The module also covers Ethernet and other LAN technologies, network cabling and connectors, and network topologies.

The second module, Defining Network Infrastructures and Network Protocols, focuses on network infrastructures and protocols. The participants learn about the different types of network infrastructures, including client-server, peer-to-peer, and serverless. They also learn about network protocols, including TCP/IP, ICMP, DHCP, DNS, and SNMP, among others.

The third module, Understanding Network Hardware, covers the different types of network hardware that are used to build networks, including switches, routers, access points, and network interface cards. The participants learn about the roles that these devices play in a typical network, as well as their features and functionalities.

The fourth module, Understanding Internet Protocol (IP) Addressing, introduces the participants to IP addressing, including the structure of IP addresses, subnetting, and CIDR notation. The module also covers IPv6, the next-generation IP protocol that is designed to replace IPv4.

The fifth module, Understanding Name Resolution, focuses on the different methods that are used to resolve names to IP addresses, including DNS, NetBIOS, and Hosts files. The module also covers the role that name resolution plays in a typical network.

The sixth and final module, Understanding Network Security, covers the basics of network security, including the different types of threats that networks face, such as viruses, worms, and hackers. The module also covers the different security mechanisms that are used to protect network resources, including firewalls, VPNs, and encryption.

Throughout the course, the participants are presented with a variety of learning resources, including videos, slides, quizzes, and practice exams. The course is designed to be self-paced, allowing participants to learn at their own speed and convenience. The course also includes a number of interactive features, such as virtual labs and simulations, that allow participants to practice their networking skills in a safe and controlled environment.

Upon completion of the course, participants should have a solid understanding of fundamental networking concepts, as well as the skills and knowledge necessary to pass the MTA Networking Fundamentals Exam 98-366. The course is ideal for individuals who are interested in pursuing a career in networking or who are looking to enhance their existing networking skills.

17. Network Infrastructure Part 3

In this episode Daniel and Don compare the various network topologies available. He begins by explaining the legacy type topologies such as physical bus and physical ring. He then moves on to star and hybrid topologies. Don finishes the episode by explaining how collisions work and different methods used to mitigate them.

16. Network Infrastructure Part 2

In this episode Daniel and Don explain the difference between external and internal IP addresses and how a user can determine which one he or she is on. Don breaks down how a dial-up modem works as well as DSL. He also explains the difference between the various leased line options available. He finally shows how wireless network speeds stack up against each standard.

15. Network Infrastructure

In this episode Daniel and Don dissect a common computer network and explore the different elements that allow system to communicate. Don uses Wireshark to demonstrate the difference between regular network traffic and encrypted network traffic. He also shows how using a VPN can be used to encrypt traffic.

14. Understanding Media Types

In this episode, Daniel and Ronnie describe the different wired and wireless media types used to connect end devices to a network. They detail the specifics of both copper and fiber cabling including transmission speeds and cable lengths. Then they move into wireless standards and their corresponding speeds, distances, and even security methods.

13. Understanding Routers

In this episode, Daniel and Ronnie explore how we are able to connect networks together using network routers. They detail how a router is able to learn about different networks using Dynamic Routing, or how you can set a route manually using Static routes. They also cover the topics of transmission speeds and default routes.

12. Understanding Switches Part 2

In this episode, Ronnie and Daniel continue detailing the workings of network switches. Here they move into more complex topics like Layer2 and Layer3 switching, security options, switching types or methods, and MAC Table propagation.

11. Understanding Switches

In this episode, Daniel and Ronnie dive into the wonderful world of network switches and how they are used to connect attached devices. They talk about all the fundamental basics like transmission speeds, ports, and Virtual Local Area Networks.

10. Understanding TCP/IP

In this episode, Daniel and Ronnie describe some of the different tools and protocols used to help troubleshoot and verify network connectivity. Some of the tools and protocols discussed include: ping, tracert, ipconfig, DNS, telnet, and Netstat.

9. Understanding Network Services

In this episode, Daniel and Ronnie explain two of the most widely used networking services, namely the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol(DHCP) and Remote access. They walk you through the process of dynamically assigning IP addresses using DHCP services. Then they show you how to use the different Remote Access methods like Remote Desktop and Remote Assistance, found in the Microsoft operating s

8. Understanding Name Resolution

In this episode, Daniel and Ronnie cover the topic of Domain Name Resolution or DNS which enables you and I to use human language to interact with computers that rely on numbered addresses for communication. They explain how we use DNS to convert the name of a website to the actual IP address instead of needing to remember a myriad of IP addresses ourselves.

7. Understanding IPv6 Part 2

In this episode, Daniel and Ronnie continue explaining the IPv6 address, this time going over some special or reserved IPv6 addresses like the Link Local address, as well as Private, Multicast, and Loopback IPv6 addresses.

6. Understanding IPv6

In this episode, Ronnie and Daniel describe Internet Protocol version 6 or IPv6. They explain how the new version differs from its predecessor as well as ways that they are similar in function. Specific topics covered are the IPv6 address, prefix number, gateway, and backward compatibility with IPv4.

5. Understanding IPv4 Part 2

In this episode, Ronnie and Daniel continue to explain IP addressing which is necessary for connecting devices on a network. They cover all the major bases involved in IP addressing such as the addresses themselves, subnet masks, and gateways; what they are and how they are used to connect devices.

4. Understanding IPv4

In this episode, Ronnie and Daniel explain IP addressing which is necessary for connecting devices on a network. They cover all the major bases involved in IP addressing such as the addresses themselves, subnet masks, and gateways; what they are and how they are used to connect devices.

3. OSI Model Part 2

In this episode, Daniel and Ronnie continue networking basics by explaining two of the most fundamental protocols used in networks; the Transport Control Protocol (TCP) and the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). They also explain the use of different networking ports and their associated port numbers. All very important to anyone wishing to understand computer networks.

2. OSI Model

In this episode, Daniel and Ronnie explain the basics of computer networks utilizing the OSI and TCP/IP reference models. They teach you about the differences between the two models, how they are used to standardize networks, and the layers that comprise them.
