| Course abstract | |
| The aim of the study course is to introduce students to switching technologies and router operations that support small and medium business networking and include wireless local area network (WLAN) and security concepts. Students learn the specifics and differences between the concepts of switching and routing. At the end of the course, students are able to perform basic network configuration and troubleshooting, identify and mitigate LAN security threats, and configure and secure basic WLAN networks. The Computer Networks (CISCO) II course is a follow-up to the Cisco CCNA Routing and Switching: Routing and Switching Fundamentals course. It is the second of three courses leading to the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification. | |
| Learning outcomes and their assessment | |
| • students know the implementation of DHCP in routers, network address translation (NAT), use of access control lists (ACL), data transfer in routers based on routing table entries - theoretical test and practical work on the relevant topic
• students know how to implement static routing, configure Ethernet switch ports, implement VLAN networks - practical work • students are able to independently use monitoring tools and network management protocols to troubleshoot data network problems. Configure monitoring tools available for small and medium business networks. Configure initial settings on network devices – theoretical test of the relevant topic, practical work, final test. |

| Requirements for awarding credit points | |
| To award credit points for Computer Networks (CISCO) Part II:
• it is necessary to complete all the theoretical tests provided at the end of each module; • it is necessary to perform practical tasks, if such have been created in the relevant module; • it is necessary to pass the final test. The grade is formed as an accumulative grade, taking into account the theoretical tests, practical tasks and the final test. |
|
| Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work | |
| The organization of independent work during the semester is independently studying literature, using academic staff member consultations. | |
| Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes | |
| The mark of the course depends on the cumulative evaluation of the semester: 1. Assessment of theoretical tests (50%), 2. Final test (50%). The maximum number of % is 100%, which corresponds to mark 10 for the course. | |
