Objectives and outcomes
Introduction to the administration of computer networks and services based on the IP protocol. Upon completion of the course, students will master the commands and techniques for the basic configuration of L2 and L3 devices. They know how to manipulate software and device configuration. They know how to configure various services and establish communication with TFTP, FTP, DHCP, DNS, NTP, Syslog, SNMP servers. They can design and configure Ethernet and wireless LANs. They know how to configure and establish a connection with a service provider, configure routing and NAT / PAT. Students have the knowledge and skills to connect and configure business and residential users to the ISP network depending on access technology. They can independently detect and solve problems in these systems.
