2. In a world of distinguished engineering professionals, finding presenters
who are leaders in their field is paramount. John Lawrence fits the
criteria as a distinguished presenter, receiving excellent course reviews
over the past 15 years.
John was extensively associated with the Diamond and Gold mining
industries in Southern Africa, and has over 20 years experience as a
project and departmental manager for a multinational oil company. During this time, John
focused on designing and managing the infrastructure of the telecommunications, data
communications and IT systems.
In the past 5 years, John has worked extensively for a number of multi-national clients,
managing projects including facilities management, budgeting and financial forecasting.
When John is not consulting or lecturing, he enjoys increasing his own skills by reading and
writing about state-of-the-art technology topics and how to optimise Return On Investment
(ROI) for the overall IT infrastructure. John is a dedicated professional who has trained
engineers and technicians around the world.

The workshop
Routers and switches are primary components of most networks and obviously internetworks.
Routers are simultaneously the most complex component of networks and the most important.
This workshop goes through the basics of routers, routed and routing protocols and the basic
rules to follow in building internetworks. If you are using any form of communication system or
are applying modern PLCs/SCADA systems this workshop will give you the essential tools in
working with networks. It is not an advanced workshop – but a hands-on one.
Pre-requisites
A basic working knowledge of industrial communications and applications be would useful but
is not essential.
Practical sessions
This is a practical, hands-on workshop enabling you to work through exercises which reinforce
the concepts discussed. Sessions include:
• Construct a simple local area network using 10/100BaseT
• Configure IP addresses and subnet masks
• Use ping utility and observe ARP operation
• Analysis of ARP/ICMP/IP/UDP/TCP
• Tracert and route commands
• Set up and analyse FTP sessions
• Quick analysis of packets using protocol analyser
• Web based view of network
• Configuration of switches
• Setup and analyse spanning tree
• Setup VLANs
• Analysis of internetwork protocols
• Troubleshooting a router and switch
• Routers and switches - configuration issues
• Firewall configuration
To gain full value from this workshop, please bring your laptop/notebook computer.
