NET3276 — Networking, Switching, Routin
This course is designed to cover the architecture, structure, functions, components, operations, and security of computer networks, including small networks, wireless local area networks (WLAN), and wide area network (WAN) technologies. Emphasis is placed on configuring, troubleshooting, and securing network devices, resolving common network issues utilizing both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols, and understanding how application programming interfaces (API) and configuration management tools enable network automation. Upon completion, students should be able to configure VLANs and Inter-VLAN routing applying security best practices, troubleshoot inter-VLAN routing on Layer 3 devices, configure redundancy on a switched network using STP and EtherChannel, configure WLANs using a WLC and L2 security best practices and configure IPv4 and IPv6 static routing on routers; as well as link state routing protocols, implement ACLs to filter traffic and secure administrative access, configure NAT services on the router to provide address scalability, explain techniques to provide address scalability and secure remote access for WAN, and explain how automation affects evolving networks.
