LAN switching, VLANs, LAN design, IGRP, access lists, novell IPX, WANs and WAN design, PPP, ISDN, frame relay.

Learning Outcomes

• build simple LANs involving switches and access the switch;
• 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;
• design a small LAN, justifying and documenting design decisions;
• design and explain a district WAN; configure routers to implement basic district WAN functions;
• develop an IP addressing scheme for a network of WAN and LANs;
• explain PPP and add it to a designed WAN; configure and verify PPP on the routers;
• explain the details of LAN switching and compare and contrast segmentation with bridges, switches and routers;
• explain the features of Novell IPX; configure and monitor Novell IPX routing;
• explain the use and importance of access lists; configure standard and extended access lists on router interfaces;
• explain the various WAN technology options for district sized networks; identify and use WAN-related router commands;
• explain why VLANs are used and how they are achieved using switches; configure switches to create VLANs;
• 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.
