NETI 109 - Networking I


PREREQUISITES: Demonstrated readiness for college-level English and Demonstrated readiness in TECH Math, QUANT Math, or STEM Math Path Ready
PROGRAM: Network Infrastructure
CREDIT HOURS: 3
LECTURE HOURS: 1.5
LAB HOURS: 3
DATE OF LAST REVISION: N/A

Networking I is the first of three courses in the Cisco CCNAv7 curriculum. This course includes activities using Packet Tracer, hands-on lab work, and a wide array of assessment types and tools. The content covers the architecture, structure, functions and components of the Internet and other computer networks. Students achieve a basic understanding of how networks operate and how to build simple local area networks (LAN), perform basic configurations for routers and switches, and implement Internet Protocol (IP).

MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:

  1. Configure switches and end devices to provide access to local and remote network resources.
  2. Explain how physical and data link layer protocols support the operation of Ethernet in a switched network.
  3. Configure routers to enable end-to-end connectivity between remote devices.
  4. Create IPv4 and IPv6 addressing schemes and verify network connectivity between devices.
  5. Explain how the upper layers of the OSI model support network applications.
  6. Configure a small network with security best practices.
  7. Troubleshoot connectivity in a small network.


COURSE CONTENT: Topical areas of study include - Cisco IOS

Protocols

Integrity and Availability

Routing

IP Addressing

Security

Local Area Networks (LAN)

TCP/IP Model

Network Operating Systems
