1. Mobile Devices

1.1 Given a scenario, monitor mobile device hardware and use appropriate replacement techniques

1.2 Compare and contrast accessories and connectivity options for mobile devices

1.3 Given a scenario, configure basic mobile device network connectivity and provide application support

2. Networking

2.1 IP

Think of network traffic as a series of moving vehicles. These vehicles carry many things to different locations. These locations have addresses.

2.2 Wireless Technology

The commitee that creates standards for network communication would be IEEE 802.11 commitee

2.3 Network Services

There are many services that exist on the network. Each service generally has a specialized unique job, but sometimes advanced services can handle multiple tasks and overlap may occurr.

2.4 DNS Configuration / DHCP / VLAN and VPN

The Domain Name System is in charge of changing website names from human readable to machine readable IP adresses. The DNS has many options that can be adjusted to fit company regulation and for security reasons.
You will also find Dynamic Host Control Protocol helpful in assigning IP addresses for devices that connect to the network and reserving special addresses for important devices.

2.5 Network Devices

The network is made up of many different devices. These physical devices have roles to perform from security to connecting services and users.

2.6 IP4 and IP6 / Assigning IP

IP addresses tell us "where" a device is located on a network. It helps other devices know where to send data and whether a device belongs to a local network or external network. IP4 is organized in such a way that you tell information about the device itself and the network at a glance with enough exposure. IP6 works the same way but is much larger, allowing more "space" for more devices on a network.
There are different techniques to giving an address to devices, traditionally it was done manually but as more devices took space on networks we have needed and developed ways to automatically assign IP addresses and even automatically reserve addresses for speical devices.

2.7 Internet Connection Types / Network Types

Networks and device connections are supported by different technologies. Each connection type have their unique benefits and drawbacks, you should know when to use what type of network.
Next there are different kinds of networks, based broadly on their size. The general most common network types are Local area network LAN, Wide area network WAN, Personal area network PAN, Metropolitan area network MAN, and Storage area network SAN, and Wireless Local area network WLAN.

2.8 Network Tools

The network is made up of devices, those devices are connected with special cables. These cables/connections are made or analyzed with special tools. You should be aware of these tools and how to use them. These tools can you help fix cables when they begin to break down or find the source of a network connection issues whether they are in the cable themselves or device ports.
