Grades: Pass/Fail
Evaluation: The course is divided into four
parts (see list below). An online partial examination finalizes each part.
Mandatory assignments: Compulsory lab exercises,
projects and module examinations must be passed before taking each partial
examination.
Objektives:
The student will
be able to understand how network-traffic is controlled and filtered, how
routers are configured and how to design networks.
Literature: The core of the
course is Cisco Networking Academy
Program, CNAP. The course material is available online. The part of the program
which we are using is called CCNA and consists of four parts:
CCNA1: Networking Basics
CCNA2: Routers and Routing Basics
CCNA3: Switching Basics and
Intermediate Routing
CCNA4: WAN Technologies
The student is supposed to get a
good understanding of how the different components of a network functions and
some knowledge of and experience with configuration of routers and switches.
Students who want CCNA-certification can take the certification exam at a test
center with a price reduction if they have passed the course with good results.
The main learning
activities will be:
·
To follow Cisco’s online program (reading, doing
simulations and exercises, passing tests). This is done on an individual basis
and can be done from any computer with an Internet connection.
·
Lab exercises. These can be done in the lab in room
011.
Some lectures will be given to give an overview of
the topics covered in the course material and to discuss and practice the most
difficult topics. Some lectures may be given in the lab.
More details of the content in the course are given here.
The course material is available from Cisco Networking Academy Program for those who are registered students in the course.
