At FortiTech, we know that great IT support starts with a strong foundation of knowledge — and we’re committed to continuous learning to give our clients the best possible service.

That’s why we’re proud to share that our team has recently completed the TP-Link Omada Certified Network Administrator (OCNA) – Routing & Switching training and certification.

This advanced course builds on our previous OCNA Wireless certification and dives deep into the core areas of network infrastructure, focusing on how to best design, configure, secure, and support networks using TP-Link’s Omada range of switches, routers, and access points.

What Did the OCNA Routing & Switching Training Cover?

Our training included in-depth study and practical application across key areas critical to business networks:

• Network Design & Power Over Ethernet (PoE) — Best practices for designing reliable and scalable networks, and leveraging PoE to power devices like access points, phones, and cameras directly through network cables.
• Switching — Covering essential switching concepts like:
  
  • VLANs (Virtual LANs) for network segmentation
    
  • STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) to prevent loops
    
  • Port Isolation for enhanced security
    
  • LAG (Link Aggregation) for increased bandwidth and redundancy
    
• Routing — Learning both static and policy-based routing to control network traffic and ensure efficient data flow between different networks or sites.
  
• Network Services — Configuring essential services like:
  
  • DHCP (dynamic addressing)
    
  • DNS (domain resolution)
    
  • QoS (Quality of Service) for traffic prioritisation
    
  • SSH (secure remote management)
    
• Network Security — Implementing access control, VPNs, filtering rules, and firewall settings to protect business networks from unauthorised access and threats.
  
• Troubleshooting Tools & Strategies — Using advanced diagnostic tools and proven troubleshooting approaches to identify and resolve network issues quickly.
