Implementation of new communication technologies into the learning process

Computer network labs at FIIT

Established in cooperation with NetAcad (Cisco Networking Academy Program)

currently two full-featured labs in rooms D105 & D113

xDSL

Currently taught in CCNA4 and CCNP2 coursesWe are using SHDSL – why?

we do not have DSLAM (we are in the process of getting one)we are aimed mostly on how upper layers work

Typical xDSL network

xDSL

Current xDSL network at our labWe do not have DSLAM nor ATM backboneUsing SHDSL we can simplify xDSL network to:

On our simple xDSL network we can demonstrateRFC 1483 bridging, PPPoA (RFC 2364), PPPoE (RFC 2516),

AAAStudents use:

PPPoE (it is predominant today)Authentication (no Authorization or Accounting now)

CPE BBRAS

RJ-11AAA Server

IPv6

Currently taught in CCNP1 courseHowever covers only how IPv6 address looks like and no

practical exercisesWe think the time has come to start talking about IPv6

because:will replace IPv4… sooner or laterIPv6 is already deployed on the Internet

Study material on IPv6RFC documents of course… but they might be hard to readYour local bookstoreStudy material also developed by Peter Mesjar as a part of final project in easy to learn format. Also used as direct support for practical exercises developed by him for CCNP1 course.

IPv6

Current IPv6 practical exercisesLab 1 – Enabling IPv6 on Cisco IOS and learning the core

functionsLab 2 – IPv4 and IPv6 coexistence using tunneling

Scheduled IPv6 practical exercises6to4 mechanism and anycast routingRIPng, OSPFv3 and BGP routing

IP Telephony

Currently taught in IP Telephony courseGood introduction to the world of POTS, ISDN and VoIP for the price of using proprietary protocols (SCCP instead of SIP)

Current IP Telephony network at our lab:

IEEE 802.11 (WiFi)

Currently taught in FWL courseNow in version 1.2 based on IEEE 802.11b standardWe use IEEE 802.11g

One part of the current WiFi network at our lab:

The future…

Courses currently taught at RCNA FIITCCNA1, CCNA2, CCNA3, CCNA4CCNP1, CCNP2, CCNP3, CCNP4

Courses scheduled to start in september 2006IP Telephony, FWL

Courses scheduled to start in near futureNetwork Security 1, Network Security 2

We are constantly enhancing our labs with new technologies

We are in process of finding funds for buying ADSL equipment and optical equipment for PON

Thank you!
