  2. Read up on the Network Basics and the OSI model. Much of this will be review from our previous experience in the lab, but we will use this week to go into further detail as to how the different parts of the OSI model work together, and how each part of the process functions to allow machines to communicate with each other.
  3.  On Thursday, we will get into subnetting, which is a way of dividing networks up into smaller groups by address.
