Course details

This course provides a foundation in computer networking with an emphasis on how networks exchange information via routers and switches. The concepts developed in this course prepares students for the Advanced Networking course in term two. Topics include Ethernet technologies, the TCP/IP protocol stack, IPv4 and IPv6 addressing, VLANs and VLAN trunking, static and dynamic routing, access control lists, and network address translation. Students will learn to connect to Cisco devices and using a command-line interface be able to configure basic settings in the lab. ​

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

  • Describe Ethernet, the media-access control (MAC) mechanism, the Logical Link Control (LLC) functions, and the physical layer. (2)
  • Describe the functionality of Ethernet switching, auto negotiation, and auto MDI. (2)
  • Describe the TCP/IP protocol suite of protocols and operations. (2)
  • Develop strategies to accommodate IPv4 addressing requirements including variable length subnetting, network summarization, and dynamic address assignment (DHCP). (4)
  • Describe the IPv6 protocol and addressing scheme including link-local, global, and multicast addressing. (2)
  • Apply IPv6 addressing statically, via Stateless Address Auto-configuration (SLAAC), and via DHCPv6 (Stateless & Stateful). (3)
  • Configure a Cisco device using the command line interface through its console port or remote access via Telnet and SSH. (3)
  • Apply static and dynamic routing (RIPv2 for IPv4 and RIPng for IPv6) to create a small routed environment. (3)
  • Configure Virtual LANs on a Cisco switch and activate IEEE Dot1Q links (trunks). (3)
  • Configure Virtual Trunking Protocol (VTP) parameters. (3)
  • Configure Access Control Lists (ACLs) and Network Address Translation (NAT) on a Cisco router. (3)
