CNIT 201E – Network Fundamentals - Spring 2010 - Tuesday and
Thursday 6-9pm Cloud 218 Instructors - Sam Bowne & Sufyaan Mateen
This course introduces the
architecture, structure, functions, components, and models of the Internet and other
computer networks. It uses the OSI and TCP layered models to examine the nature
and roles of protocols and services at the application, network, data link, and
physical layers. The principles and structure of IP addressing and the
fundamentals of Ethernet concepts, media, and operations are introduced to
provide a foundation for the curriculum. Labs use a “model Internet” to allow
students to analyze real data without affecting production networks. Packet
Tracer (PT) activities help students analyze protocol and network operation and
build small networks in a simulated environment. At the end of the course,
students build simple LAN topologies by applying basic principles of cabling;
performing basic configurations of network devices, including routers and
switches; and implementing IP addressing schemes.
