CNIT
201E – Network Fundamentals - Fall 2009 - Tuesday and Thursday 6-9pm Cloud 218 Instructors - S. Bowne and 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.
