SCALING NETWORKS COURSE SYLLABUS

Course Code : 6NET3LAN Prerequisite : 6ROUTING Course Credit : 3 Units (2 hours LEC,4 hours LAB) Year Level: 3rd year Degree Program: : BSIT with Area of Specialization in Network Administration Course Description:

This course describes the architecture, components, and operations of routers and switches in a larger and more complex network. Students learn how to configure routers and switches for advanced functionality. By the end of this course, students will be able to configure and troubleshoot routers and switches and resolve common issues with OSPF, EIGRP, STP, and VTP in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. Students will also develop the knowledge and skills needed to implement DHCP and DNS operations in a network At the end of the course, students will be able to:
