What you'll learn

Routing packets from one device to another is the foundation of how the internet works to move traffic. In this course, Networking Concepts: IP Routing for CompTIA Network+, you’ll learn how routers route IP packets. First, you’ll explore how ARP is used as a bridge between ethernet and IP, and why its needed for routing. Next, you’ll discover how a router routes a packet from one interface to another interface using static and dynamic routing. Finally, you’ll learn how NAT is used to translate traffic from a private network to a public network. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of IP routing needed to explain the characteristics of routing technologies.
