COURSE CONTENT:
A. Data Communication using the TCP/IP Model
B. Business Communication Standards and Practices
C. Network Topologies and Protocols
D. Backbone Networks, High Speed Networks
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
By the end of this course, students should be able to:
- Describe the basic hardware, software and services components used in network systems.
- Compare and contrast the alternatives in LAN media, topologies, access methods, and media.
- Demonstrate a layered approach to networking. (For example the open connection (OSI) reference model).
- Identify and evaluate appropriate media for networks (such as cabling, wireless, fiber, etc.)
- Evaluate appropriate network media topologies
- Describe the major network layer protocols with an emphasis on IPv4 and/or IPv6, including addressing, subnetting, network address translation and IP configuration.
- Given a scenario, perform subnetting
- Describe the major functions of network operating systems and directory services.
- Troubleshoot networks using standard troubleshooting tools.
- Describe the advantages/disadvantages of various network protocols.
- Select or determine appropriate network security process or approach for given situations.
- Build a (simple) network using routers and switches
By the end of this course, students may be able to:
