Course Objectives

  • To provide students with the knowledge and skills to design, install and manage enterprise internetworks.
  • To provide the knowledge to analyze and evaluate enterprise networks.
  • To provide the knowledge and skills to students required to configure routing protocols.

Course Content

This course introduces the basic concepts and principles of router, routing terminology and Wide Area Network protocols. The course covers topics related to Ethernet and Token Ring frames, TCP/IP basics, IP addressing, distance vector and link state routing protocols, RIP and IGRP, router IOS and basic router configuration. It also coversthe various Wide Area Network services, including Frame Relay, ISDN, HDLC, PPP. This course provides additional information on routing protocols beyond that of 4300 314 “Computer Networks and Communications”.


Course Learning Outcomes

Upon completing a course/learning process successfully, students will be able to:

  • Examine and analyze router elements (RAM, ROM, CDP)
  • Describe the difference between connection-oriented and connectionless networks.
  • Identify the functions of the TCP/IP transport layer protocols.
  • Manage configuration files.
  • Identify the functions performed by ICMP.
  • Prepare an initial configuration of a router and enable IP.
  • Identify the parts in specific protocol address examples.
  • Configure and verify IP addresses
  • Configure the RIP and EIGRP routing protocols to the router configuration.
  • Analyze routing tables and add missing routes
  • Configure static routing
  • Configure EIGRP and OSPF
  • Explain the key Frame Relay terms and features.
  • Identify PPP operations.
  • Identify WAN protocols, function groups, reference points, and channels.
