Overview: This course introduces the architecture, structure, functions, components, and models of the Internet and computer networks. The principles of IP addressing and fundamentals of Ethernet concepts, media, and operations are introduced to provide a foundation for the curriculum. By the end of the course, students will be able to build simple LANs, perform basic configurations for routers and switches, and implement IP addressing schemes.

Objective: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to perform tasks related to the following:

Describe the devices and services used to support communications in data networks and the Internet

Describe the role of protocol layers in data networks Describe the importance of addressing and naming schemes at various layers of data

networks in IPv4 and IPv6 environments Design, calculate, and apply subnet masks and addresses to fulfill given requirements in

IPv4 and IPv6 network Build a simple Ethernet network using routers and switches Use Cisco command-line interface (CLI) commands to perform basic router and switch

configurations

Grading: Final grades are determined through a weighted average of midterm and final examinations, review questions and laboratory assignments. Your final grade in the course will be based on the following:

Laboratory assignments 70%Laboratory Final exam 30%

100%

Assignments: Lab assignments: Lab instruction sheets will be provided to you. You should keep a screen capture of the final screen for each lab you perform. Word documents containing these screen captures should be emailed to the instructor no later than Thursday December 5, 2013. Each screen shot must be labeled with the title of the lab from which it was taken.
