Teaching tools for the OSI layers and Subnetting

[rljunggren]

Do any one have any tools that i can use to help students learn the OSI layers and how to subnet and get a better understanding of the concepts.

Extracts from the CCNA training may help with OSI and subnet addressing ;

Well to start off...The main thing is to make sure your students know what OSI layers models are (i.e. their names and the order they go in). There is a phrase that you can tell your students so they can remember the layers. The phrase is All People Seem To Need Data Processing. Wendell Odom's CCNA books is quite helpful in doing subnetting.
