Whether you’re just starting your networking career or seeking to validate your skills, H12-211 provides the tools and knowledge to help you succeed in the field of networking and telecommunications.

Key Learning Outcomes:

1. Understanding Routing & Switching Fundamentals:

   • Students will learn the basics of routing and switching, crucial technologies in any modern network. This includes concepts such as IP addressing, subnetting, routing protocols, VLANs, and network topologies.

   • The course provides an introduction to the OSI model and TCP/IP stack, two critical models used to understand how networking protocols work together.

2. Huawei Networking Technologies:

   • The course delves into Huawei’s specific networking solutions, particularly its routers and switches, to help students become proficient in configuring and maintaining Huawei-based networks.

   • Learners will gain hands-on experience with Huawei routers and switches, which are widely used in both enterprise and service provider networks globally.

3. IP Addressing and Subnetting:

   • One of the core components of networking is IP addressing. This course provides a detailed understanding of IPv4 and IPv6 addressing schemes, including how to assign addresses to devices in a network and perform subnetting.

   • Through exercises and practice scenarios, learners will be able to break down large networks into smaller subnets, which is crucial for efficient network management.

4. Routing Protocols:

   • Routing protocols are the foundation of how devices communicate with each other across a network. This course introduces learners to both static and dynamic routing protocols, such as RIP (Routing Information Protocol), OSPF (Open Shortest Path First), and BGP (Border Gateway Protocol).

   • Learners will understand how these protocols work, when to use each protocol, and how to configure routers to use them effectively.

5. Switching and VLANs:

   • Understanding switches and VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) is key for modern networks. Learners will be introduced to switch configuration, how switches use MAC addresses to forward data, and how VLANs can be used to segment network traffic.

   • The course will also cover spanning tree protocol (STP) and its role in preventing network loops and ensuring efficient data forwarding.

6. Network Security:

   • Security is an important aspect of network configuration. The course introduces students to the basics of securing networks, particularly focusing on the concept of access control lists (ACLs), firewall configuration, and network address translation (NAT).

   • Learners will understand the fundamental approaches to securing network traffic and ensuring data confidentiality and integrity.

7. Troubleshooting and Network Management:

   • Troubleshooting is an essential skill for any network administrator. This course provides learners with tools and methodologies for identifying, diagnosing, and resolving network issues.

   • Learners will use diagnostic tools such as ping, traceroute, and other Huawei-specific tools to understand how to monitor, diagnose, and repair network failures or performance issues.

8. Huawei Certification Preparation:

   • This course serves as preparation for the HCIA-Routing & Switching certification exam. Throughout the course, learners will engage in practical labs, quizzes, and sample exams to reinforce their knowledge and skills.

   • The HCIA certification will validate a learner’s ability to configure and troubleshoot networks, and it’s a valuable credential for those looking to pursue networking careers using Huawei products.
