Course Outline
This is a lab based course. The goal of the
course is to reinforce some of the networking concepts that
were taught in a asic introductory networking course. The lab
is structured around lab exercises that highlight topics such
as IP addressing and forwarding, LAN switching, data link and
ARP, routing (RIP, OSPF), TCP, ICMP, NAT, DHCP, etc. The
course consists of a sequence of labs that build upon each
other. Lab quizzes are used to evaluate the students’
understanding of the material and ensure that students have
completed the assigned lab exercises. All networking concepts
that appear in the labs are covered weekly in class. A
final written exam tests students on the concepts covered in
class.
