Location: Africa
Units: 12
Semester Offered: Fall
Course discipline
MSIT
Course description
This course aims to give hands-on knowledge of network principles and the challenges to make an operational network. By the end of this course, students should be able to deploy and configure a basic enterprise network.
Learning objectives
Students will learn to apply networking principles through the set-up, configuration, and testing of actual network switches, routers, and other networking and computing equipment. Students will complete weekly labs that require them to implement a specific network configuration. Students will get familiar with switching and routing protocols through intensive lab work and projects.
Outcomes
After completing this course, students will be able to do the following:
- Design and configure an Ethernet LAN with VLANs
- Optimize the use of IPV4 (IPV4 subnetting)
- Configure various routing protocols
- Deploy ACL-based Firewalls
- Understand IPV6 and its subnetting
- Design an SDN network
