Course Description:

This course covers the fundamentals of internet engineering using a combination of Lecture and hands on labs to provide the student with a thorough  understanding of internet protocols including network and MAC addressing, hubs, switching, routing, IPv4, DNS, SNMP, DHCP, and Firewalls, network cabling, hubs, and switches; configuring network routers; configuring Unix and Windows workstations; measuring and analyzing network performance; and troubleshooting. This course is a hands on lab oriented course where the lectures prepare the students for in depth labs that use real equipment that s used by an ISP.

 

Prerequisites: BUIS 2000, BUIS 2700; or by permission

Course Outcomes: 

Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:

 

·          Install, configure and troubleshoot Cisco switches.

·          Perform, verify and troubleshoot initial switch configuration tasks including remote access

management.

·          Explain the concepts of switching and the benefits of using switches in a network (frame forwarding,

·          VLANs, STP, VTP, trunking, inter-vlan routing).

·          Compare and contrast hubs and switches and their affects on (1) broadcast domains and (2) collision domains.

·          Perform upgrades or restore Cisco switch IOS and configuration files.

·          Verify the operational status of a Cisco switched network.

·          Explain the concept of VLANs in a Cisco network.

·          Explain VLANs and the benefits of using VTP and trunking to manage traffic.

·          Create VLANs and assign ports to VLANs to meet given user requirements.

·          Implement trunking on a switch.

·          Configure and test routing between VLANs.

·          Configure VTP between multiple switches.

·          Use VTP to manage VLANs for given switched network requirements.

·          Troubleshoot switching problems in switched networks.

·          Evaluate and recommend Layer 2 security measures.

·          Explain and configure Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP) on a Cisco router.

·          Explain how STP prevents switching loops on a LAN.

·          Explain the process of selecting a root bridge and root port on a Cisco switch.

·          Explain the concept of Rapid Spanning-Tree Protocol.

·          Configure STP and Rapid Spanning-Tree on a Cisco Switch.

·          Verify the operation of STP and modify STP parameters for given user requirements.

·          Manage Cisco router IOS and configuration files.

·          Identify the major internal and external components of a router and describe their associated functionality.

·          Identify the stages of the router boot-up sequence and show how the configuration register and boot system commands modify that sequence.

·          Connect the router FastEthernet, Serial WAN, and console ports to devices and interconnect routers, hubs, and switches using serial and Ethernet interfaces.

·          Perform, save and test an initial configuration on a router or modify an existing configuration.

·          Evaluate, configure and troubleshoot routing protocols, static routes and default routes.

·          Analyze, configure, implement and verify access control lists.

·          Plan an IP addressing scheme using VLSM on a Cisco router.

·          Configure, troubleshoot, verify and explain the operation of routing protocols on a Cisco Router (RIP, RIPv2, IGRP, EIGRP, and OSPF).

·          Design, configure, troubleshoot and verify the operation of NAT in a LAN configuration.

·          Evaluate the need for DHCP in LANs and identify the steps for configuring DHCP on Cisco routers.

·          Configure, troubleshoot and verify PPP in simple WAN networks.

·          Configure, troubleshoot, and verify implementations of ISDN and DDR in simple WAN networks.

·          Configure, troubleshoot, and verify implementations of Frame Relay.

·          Analyze the various issues presented when using routing protocols over a specific WAN topology.

·          Configure, troubleshoot, and verify implementations of point-to-point lease lines.

 

Class attendance:
The student is responsible for the activities of each class period.  Attendance and participation is an important part of your class grade(10%).. 

Students missing class because of legitimate reasons must consult with the instructor by telephone or email concerning the absence.  Legitimate absences do not excuse the student from class responsibilities.  Examples of reasons to be excused by the instructor are serious illness, death in the family, or institutional activities.  Documentation for absences may be required.

                    

ADA Statement
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 require Shawnee State University to provide reasonable academic adjustments or accommodations for students with documented disabilities which would not compromise the integrity of the academic program.  Examples of documented disabilities include physical, psychiatric, and/or learning impairments that substantially limit one or more major life activities of the student.  Students seeking academic adjustments or accommodations must self-identify with the Coordinator of Disability Services, Student Success Center, Massie Hall, 740-351-3276.   After meeting with the Coordinator, students are encouraged to meet with their instructors to discuss their needs, and if applicable, any lab safety concerns related to their disabilities.

 

Academic Integrity:
You are required to do your own work on all tests and assignments. Any form of cheating may result in a grade penalty or the student being withdrawn from the course as well as dismissal from the University. See page 37 of the Shawnee State University catalog.

 

Record Retention:
All student work submitted for a grade will be retained for two weeks after the beginning of the next quarter; after which point all paper work will be shredded and diskettes reformatted.

 

Evaluation:

Attendance and Participation 10.00%

Weekly Assignments 50.00%

Quiz 1 10.00%

Quiz 2 10.00%

Final Examination 20.00%

Total 100.00%

 

Scale:

90.0% - 100% A

80.0% - 89.9% B

70.0% - 79.9% C

60.0% - 69.9% D

0.0% - 59.9% F

 

Homework and Projects:

Assignments will be due at the beginning of the class period on the due

date. Assignments turned in during the class period or later will be

accepted but will be subject to a penalty (reducing the total score). A 10%

penalty will be applied for each assignment that is turned in during the

class period on the due date. A 20% penalty will be assessed for each

week (or part week) that an assignment is late if it is not turned in on the

due date. Unless specifically agreed (in advance) homework IS DUE on the due

date. If you are unable to attend class the assignment is to be emailed,

faxed or postmarked on or before the due date to avoid the penalty.

If you receive an unsatisfactory (less than 80%) mark on an assignment,

that was turned in on time, you have the option of resubmitting it by the

next class period. An automatic reduction of 20% will be applied to the

resubmitted work's score. If you earned a 60% on an assignment and

resubmitted it for a 95%, your net score of 75% would be a significant

improvement.

 

 

Instructional Delivery Method:

Lecture, demonstrations, and hands-on projects in computer lab.
