Hi, everyone. My name is Nick Russo, and welcome to my Pluralsight course.
This is a deep dive course on ICMP.
Don't be fooled.
This isn't some trivial memorization course.
Instead, I've created a realistic yet simple
scenario involving a network merger.
This provides ample opportunity to explore ICMP with
contextual task‑oriented demonstrations.
Some of the major topics we will cover include ping and traceroute for
testing network connectivity and troubleshooting faults, MTU discovery
techniques to help prevent IP packet fragmentation,
ICMP‑friendly firewall security design considerations,
IPv6 neighbor discovery and the ICMPv6 messages that comprise it.
After completing this course,
you'll know how to use ICMP as a diagnostic tool in a wide
variety of network management scenarios.
Before beginning this course, I'd recommend the following prerequisite
courses. An Introduction to IPv6 will give you the necessary knowledge to
understand and follow the basic IPv6 concepts. Basic ARP knowledge, as
discussed in the first module of the ARP deep dive, is sufficient to gain
context around IPv6 neighbor discovery.
I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn ICMP with this Protocol Deep Dive course, at Pluralsight.
