Course Objectives & Content

Course Objectives:

This course aims to give students the necessary skills and knowledge to understand computer networks' working principles and protocols. This course also aims for students to perform the installation and configuration of small and large-scale networks on the GNS3 simulator to practically use the knowledge they have acquired.

Course Content:

Understanding Local Area Networking Defining Networks with the OSI Model ( The basics of each OSI layer.) Physical Layer Understanding Wired/Wireless Networks (The standards of the twisted-pair and fiber cables. Wireless Networking Standards) Data Link Layer and L2 Switching (The Services Provided by the Link Layer, Switched Local Area Networks, MAC and ARP protocols, Ethernet Frame Structure, Link-Layer Switches, and L2 VLANs.) Understanding Internet Protocol (Categorizing IPv4 Addresses, DNS, DHCP, Default Gateway, NAT ) Understanding Internet Protocol (Subnetting, Understanding IPv6 ) Implementing TCP/IP in the Command Line The Network Layer (Routing fundammentals, statik and dynamic routing, RIP and OSPF.) Virtual LANs (VLANs) and L3 Switching (VLANs with L3 interface, routing and switching) Transport and Application Layer (Fundamentals, UDP and TCP protocols, sockets, and ports, client-server and peer-to-peer architectures, application layer protocols ) Working With Network Services (Setting Up Common Networking Services, VPN, IPSec, Defining DHCP and DNS services.) Understanding Wide Area Networks (Circuit switching and packet switching networks, leased lines) Defining Network Infrastructure and Security (Intranets and Extranets, VPN tunnels, firewalls and DMZ, access lists)

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs)

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) are those describing the knowledge, skills and competencies that students are expected to achieve upon successful completion of the course. In this context, Course Learning Outcomes defined for this course unit are as follows:

Knowledge (Described as Theoritical and/or Factual Knowledge.)

1) Understand fundamental concept of computer networks, network topologies, network architecture and its hardware components.

2) Understand elements of a protocol in TCP/IP model and fundamentals of layering in computer networks.

3) Know the roles of client and servers in computer networks for different applications.

4) Know the fundamental concepts of data communication

5) Understand the concept of network security and network management arising from a range of security threats (viruses, worms, Trojan horses and denial-of-service attacks), common barriers in network security and major issues in implementing proper security measures.

Skills (Describe as Cognitive and/or Practical Skills.)

1) Understand fundamental concepts of LAN and WLAN technologies and topologies - understand of basic concepts of error detection and correction at the data link layer and below, implement a simple network protocol that operates in the physical and data link layers of the OSI model.

2) Use various network related UNIX commands and tools for monitoring, decoding protocol data, and analyzing network traffic.

Competences (Described as "Ability of the learner to apply knowledge and skills autonomously with responsibility", "Learning to learn"," Communication and social" and "Field specific" competences.)
