13 hours lectures, 13 hours practicals, 39 hours flexible delivery. Semester 2.
LAN switching, VLANs, LAN design, IGRP, access lists, novell IPX, WANs and WAN design, PPP, ISDN, frame relay.
Learning Objectives:
- explain the details of LAN switching and compare and contrast segmentation with bridges, switches and routers;
- build simple LANs involving switches and access the switch;
- explain why VLANs are used and how they are achieved using switches; configure switches to create VLANs;
- design a small LAN, justifying and documenting design decisions;
- develop an IP addressing scheme for a network of WAN and LANs;
- compare and contrast dynamic routing, routed protocols versus routing protocols, distance vector versus link state routing and RIP versus IGRP; configure networks to run RIP and IGRP;
- explain the use and importance of access lists; configure standard and extended access lists on router interfaces;
- explain the features of Novell IPX; configure and monitor Novell IPX routing;
- explain the various WAN technology options for district sized networks; identify and use WAN-related router commands;
- design and explain a district WAN; configure routers to implement basic district WAN functions;
- explain PPP and add it to a designed WAN; configure and verify PPP on the routers;
- explain why and how ISDN can be integrated into a district WAN; identify how to configure and verify ISDN on a router;
- explain why and how frame relay is used in the district WAN; configure and verify frame relay on the routers;
- implement and commission a LAN segment of a district WAN, including IP and access lists, in a limited time, including fault rectification.
