Computer Engineering BA (A), Network Technologies B, 7.5 Credits

Aim

This course covers the protocols and technologies that are being used in large and complex networks. During the course you will gain knowledge about designing, configuring and troubleshooting large networks. We will work with common technologies and protocols that can be found in large networks today, but we will also explore protocols that will hopefully be seen in networks in the future, such as IPv6.

This course together with the course Network Technology A, makes it possible to later take the CCNA certification exam.

Course objectives

After finishing this course, the participants will be able to:
- Discuss and apply common protocols and technologies used for achieving network redundancy
- List and explain the difference wireless network standards.
- Explain how routing protocols behave in different types of network topologies.
- List and explain common WAN protocols and technologies.
- Calculate theoretical bandwidth capacity for different types of WAN technologies.
- Construct a network according to a given network topology.

Grading criteria for the subject can be found at www.miun.se/gradingcriteria.

The examiner has the right to offer alternative examination arrangements to students who have been granted the right to special support by Mid Sweden University’s disabilities adviser.

If examination on campus cannot be conducted according to decision by the vice-chancellor, or whom he delegated the right to, the following applies: [Written Exam T104], will be replaced with two parts, online examination and follow-up. Within three weeks of the online examination, a selection of students will be contacted and asked questions regarding the examination. The follow-up consists of questions concerning the execution of the on-line exam and the answers that the student have submitted.

Grading system

Seven-grade scale, A, B, C, D, E, Fx and F. Fx and F represent fail levels.
