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
Implement IPv6
Manage IPv4 and IPv6 Coexistence
Migrate to IPv6
Lab 1: Configure and evaluate IPv6 transition technologies
Review the default IPv6 configuration
Implement DHCPv6
Configure network integration by using ISATAP
Configure native IPv6 connectivity

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 WAP
Plan VPNs
Lab 1: Implement a 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 coniderations 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 BranchCache
Implement BranchCache
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.
Lessons
