Curricula

Objective

The student masters the most essential parts of corporate networks: the concepts, used technical implementation methods, common devices, methods and good practices connected to network structure. In addition, the student masters the principles of corporate network design. The student is able to design an imaginative large-scale corporate network based the on assigned requirement specification taking into account technical-economic restrictions, select the telecommunication protocols, present the essential configuration, document and present the solution in class.

Content

The course includes the most commonly used protocols and solutions in corporate networks, the connection of corporate networks to interfaces offered by service provider and connection of branch outlets to head office. The technical corporate solutions are practiced in the course utilizing technological demos.

Qualifications

Local area network technologies, Internet protocol addressing, subnetworking, routing. Frame structure of Ethernet protocol, virtual local area networks and switching. Layered structure of telecommunication.
