TCP/IP was originally implemented on BSD systems and BSD systems continue to provide core networking services for a substantial portion of the Internet. Demonstrate a strong understanding of both IPv4 and IPv6 addressing as well as basic networking theory. Trainers and material providers should provide conceptual depth similar to that found in Network+ or in the networking theory section of CCNA.
- Determine the current TCP--IP settings on a system
- Set a system's TCP--IP settings
- Determine which TCP or UDP ports are open on a system
- Verify the availability of a TCP--IP service
- Query a DNS server
- Determine who is responsible for a DNS zone
- Change the order of name resolution
- Convert a subnet mask between dotted decimal, hexadecimal or CIDR notation
- Gather information using an IP address and subnet mask
- Understand IPv6 address theory
- Demonstrate basic tcpdump(1) skills
- Manipulate ARP and neighbor discovery caches
- Configure a system to use NTP
- View and renew a DHCP lease
- Recognize when and how to set or remove an interface alias
