• address a network, given a topology and starting IP address;
• address and configure a network;
• build a simple network of hosts, cables, hubs and routers, at layer 1 level;
• compare and contrast LANs and WANs layer by layer;
• compare and contrast static and dynamic routing, routed and routing protocols, IGPs and EGPs and RIP and IGRP;
• compare and contrast static versus dynamic routing, routed protocols versus routing protocols and distance vector versus link state routing;
• compare and contrast the details of layers 1, 2 and 3 in the context of Ethernet and IP;
• compare and contrast the details of layers 4, 5, 6, 7 in context of TCP;
• conduct basic network audits;
• describe and perform a basic router configuration;
• describe basic inter-network processes;
• describe the internal configuration components of a router, access the router and test network connectivity;
• explain basic electrical and electronic issues in networks;
• explain the function of network management tools;
