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:
- Understand, configure and troubleshoot the protocols that makes redundant ethernet networks possible.
- Understand, configure and troubleshoot wireless networks.
- Configure, and troubleshoot routers in a IPv4 and IPv6 network.
- Design a network within an AS.
- Explain and use different WAN-technologies.
- Explain different broadband technologies.
- Identify and choose technology and protocols that are best suited for a specific network.
