Description:

This course is designed to provide students a fundamental understanding of internetworking. Topics include Local Area Network (LAN) segmentation using routers. Wide Area Network (WAN) physical technologies will be studied. Configuring WAN protocols using Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) and Frame Relay will be presented. Securing the network with standard and extended access lists will be performed. Programming and configuration will be conducted using Cisco routers and switches. Laboratory exercises will accompany lectures. 2 hrs. lecture, 3 hrs. lab/wk.

Supplies: Refer to the instructor's course syllabus for details about any supplies that may be required.
