Prerequisites: none
Course Description: 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 such
as routers and switches, and implementing IP addressing schemes.
