This course describes the architecture, components, and operations of routers, and explains the principles of routing and routing protocols. Students analyze, configure, verify, and trobleshoot the primary routing protocols RIPv1, RIPv2, EIGRP, and OSPF, Recognize and correct common routing issues and problems. Model and analyze routing processes. Fall only. Prerequisite: ITCC 1401

This course covers networking architecture, structure, security and functions; introduces the principals and structure of IP addressing and the fundamentals of Ethernet concepts, media, and operations to provide a foundation for the curriculum. (Spring only)

Describes the architecture, components, and basic operation of routers and explains the basic principles of routing and routing protocols. It also provides an in-depth understanding of how switches operate and are implemented in the LAN environment for small and large networks.

Describes the architecture, components, and operations of routers and switches in small networks and introduces wireless local area networks (WLAN) and security concepts; provides an in-depth understanding of how routers and switches operate and are implemented in the LAN environment. (Fall Only) Prerequisite: ITCC 1414

This course explains the principles of traffic control and access control lists (ACLs) and provides an overview of the services and protocols at the data link layer for wide-area access. Describes user access technologies and devices and discover how to implement and configure Point -to-Point Protocol. (PPP), Point -to-Point Protocol over Ethernet ( PPPoE), DSL, and Frame Relay. WAN security concepts, tunneling, and VPN basics are introduced, Discuss the special network services required by converged applications and an introduction to quality of service (QoS).
