Module Title: | Networking III |
Language of Instruction: | English |
Teaching & Learning Strategies: |
A mix of traditional lectures, laboratory work and take-home projects will enable the learner to fully understand and practice the various networking concepts presented. |
Module Aim: |
To develop the learners understanding of the architecture, components, operations, and security for large, complex networks, including wide area network (WAN) technologies.
|
Learning Outcomes |
On successful completion of this module the learner should be able to: |
LO1 |
Explain how to mitigate threats and enhance network security using access control lists and security best practices. |
LO2 |
Install, configure and evaluate appropriate technologies and protocols for LAN interconnection and VPNs. |
LO3 |
Implement techniques to provide address scalability and secure remote access for WANs. |

Module Content & Assessment
Indicative Content |
Dynamic Routing (20%)
Describe dynamic routing protocol features and characteristics (OSPF, RIP). Explain how single-area OSPF operates. Explain concepts for OSPF routing such as; Router IDs, Point-to-Point networks, Multiaccess networks, Default Route Propagation. Configure and verify single-area OSPF.
|
IP Services and Security (40%):
Configure and verify IP addresses using address assignment technologies (e.g. DHCP, NAT), Analysis, specify and apply Access Control Lists (ACLs)(e.g. named ACLs, numbered ACLs, standard ACLs, extended ACLs), Design, configure and verify Network Address Translation (NAT) for a given network (e.g. Static NAT, Dynamic NAT, PAT)
|
WAN technologies and protocols (20%):
Examine access network and core network function and technologies (e.g. DSL, cable, PPPoE, HFC and MPLS)
|
Virtual Private Networks (20%):
VPNs, site-to-site GRE tunnels, IPsec, remote access VPNs.
