Why Choose This Course

The Gigabit Ethernet Training training course develops a technically grounded understanding of high-speed Ethernet for network and telecommunications professionals. It progresses from fundamental data communication principles to the implementation, testing and verification of 40 and 100 Gb/s networks. Delegates examine the architecture underpinning Gigabit Ethernet and its role in supporting increasing infrastructure and bandwidth requirements. This knowledge enables professionals to work effectively with both established networks and planned high-capacity deployments.

Across five focused days, the course advances systematically from core networking concepts to high-speed network management. It covers transmission media, the OSI model and LAN topologies as essential foundations for understanding Ethernet architecture. Delegates also study the full range of Gigabit Ethernet standards, including 40GBASE and 100GBASE implementations. The course provides the technical knowledge and confidence required to manage Gigabit Ethernet networks effectively.

Learning Approach

How will this Training Course be Presented?

This training course uses a technically organised learning approach that develops knowledge step by step — beginning with the fundamentals of data communication before progressing to LAN architecture, Gigabit Ethernet standards, and the implementation and testing of high-speed networks.

Every day addresses a separate technical area, ensuring delegates build a comprehensive and interconnected understanding of Gigabit Ethernet from first principles.

Delivery methods comprise:

  • Instructor-led technical sessions addressing data communication principles, OSI model layers, and Ethernet standards
  • Workshops on transmission media and cabling that examine media types, noise control, and interference reduction
  • Protocol and OSI model exercises that establish a clear understanding of the interaction between network layers
  • Sessions on LAN topology and Ethernet architecture covering network design and internetwork connections
  • In-depth Gigabit Ethernet modules examining sub-layers, physical layers, and interfaces between sublayers
  • 40 and 100 Gb/s network management sessions addressing error handling, fault detection, and link fault signalling
  • Implementation and verification workshops applying 40GBASE and 100GBASE standards, including SR4, LR4, CR4, KR4, and ER4
  • Testing and verification exercises that ensure delegates can validate high-speed Ethernet deployments against technical requirements
