ITI521 Interconnecting Network Devices (8)
Abstract| This subject will cover topics from the fundamentals of networking to connecting and configuring Cisco networking devices. Students will learn about important networking fundamentals using the open systems interconnection (OSI) seven layer model concepts, terminology and technologies. They will also learn about connecting and configuring Cisco catalyst switches and routers in a local area network and wide area network situation. |

Learning OutcomesUpon successful completion of this subject, students should:
- be able to describe computer hardware basics, binary and hexadecimal number systems, basic networking terminology and internetworking concepts;
- be able to identify the major components of a network system, including clients and servers, network interface cards (NICs), internetworking devices, media and topologies;
- be able to describe the functions, operations and primary components of local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), metropolitan area networks (MANs), storage area networks (SANs), content networks (CNs) and virtual private networks (VPNs);
- be able to describe the major network access methods and outline the key features of each;
- describe the functions and operations of switching technologies;
- be able to explain the format and significance of each of the following components to a network system: IP addressing, classes, reserved address space and subnetting;
- be able to calculate valid subnetwork addresses and masks values so that user/network requirements are met when given an IP address scheme;
- be able to explain the purposes of networking addresses, routing protocols and routed protocols;
- be able to describe the functions, operations and primary components of WAN technologies;
- be able to describe the function, operation and primary components required to provide remote access services;
- be able to use available configuration tools to establish connectivity to the appropriate network device in order to complete the initial device configuration;
- be able to build a functional configuration to support the specified network operational requirements, given a network design;
