Course abstract
Course "Computer Networking (CISCO) IV" is based on the course of Cisco "CCNA Routing and Switching: Connecting Networks" course. This is the last of four courses leading to the certification of the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA). This course focuses on the WAN technologies and network services required by converged applications in a complex network. By the end of this course, students will be able to configure PPPoE, GRE, single-homed eBGP, extended IPv4 and IPv6 ACLs. Students will also develop the knowledge and skills needed to implement a WLAN in a small-to-medium network. For LANs, students will be able to configure SNMP and Cisco SPAN. Students will also develop knowledge about QoS and the trends in networking including Cloud, virtualization, and SDN.
Learning outcomes and their assessment
Students who complete the Connecting Networks course will be able to perform the following functions:
● Explain network technologies.
● Implement access control lists (ACLs) to filter traffic.
● Configure Ethernet switch ports.
● Design a small multi-site business network.
● Select WAN access technologies.
● Configure a serial interface to enable WAN communication.
● Configure an Ethernet interface to enable broadband communication given service provider requirements.
● Implement remote access and site-to-site VPNs.
● Use monitoring tools and network management protocols to troubleshoot data networks.
● Configure monitoring tools available for small to medium-sized business networks.
● Configure initial settings on a network device. ● Explain how quality of service (QoS) mechanism support network communication requirements.
Course Content(Calendar)
1.WAN Concepts. Explain WAN access technologies available to small to medium-sized business networks. Select WAN access technologies to satisfy business requirements.
2.Point-to-Point Connections. Configure HDLC encapsulation. Explain how PPP operates across a point-to-point serial link. Configure PPP encapsulation. Troubleshoot PPP.
3.Branch Connections. Select broadband remote access technologies to support business requirements. Configure a Cisco router with PPPoE. Explain how VPNs secure site-to-site and remote access connectivity. Implement a GRE tunnel. Implement eBGP in a single-homed remote access network.
4.Access Control Lists. Configure standard IPv4 ACLs. Configure extended IPv4 ACLs. Configure IPv6 ACLs. Troubleshoot ACLs.
5.Network Security and Monitoring. Explain how to mitigate common LAN security attacks. Configure SNMP to monitor network operations in a small to medium-sized business network. Troubleshoot a network problem using SPAN.
6.Quality of Service. Explain the purpose and characteristics of QoS. Explain how networking devices implement QoS.
7.Network Evolution. Explain the value of the Internet of Things. Explain why cloud computing and virtualization are necessary for evolving networks. Explain why network programmability is necessary for evolving networks.
8.Network Troubleshooting. Explain troubleshooting approaches for various network problems. Troubleshoot end-to-end connectivity in a small to medium-sized business network, using a systematic approach.
9.1st Practical exam.
10.2nd Practical exam.
11.3rd Practical exam.
12.4th Practical exam. 13.Final exam (test).
Requirements for awarding credit points
To get the assessment of the course, all theoretical and practical tests must be completed.
Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work
Student independently completes the theoretical test and the practical assignment of the acquired subject each week, if the assignment has been created.
Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes
The assessment of the course is calculated from all completed theoretical, practical and final tests of the course.
