Purpose:
You learn the structure, protocols of data networks used by computers (and other end devices). You also know the principles of planning a data network.
EUR-ACE Competences:
Knowledge and Understanding
Engineering Practice
The learning objectives:
You are familiar with protocols and data transmission principles used on the Internet. You know the layers of OSI model and identifies the technologies and protocols used on each layer of the model. You can design a local area network using, switches, routers, workstations and servers. You are able to design cabling, switching topology and routing scheme to run the data network. You know the different devices used on a network (e.g. switches, routers, firewalls, wireless base stations). You can change, handle and save the configuration used in network devices. You know how local area networks interconnect to one another through wide area networks.
