Module Title: | Networking II |
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 provide learners with an appreciation of the function and characteristics of protocols and services at various layers of established networking models. |
Learning Outcomes |
On successful completion of this module the learner should be able to: |
LO1 |
Analysis both IPv4 and IPv6 address allocations and formulate appropriate addressing schemes for an internetwork. |
LO2 |
Divide a network using IPv4 and IPv6 subnetting techniques to optimise network performance and meet user requirements. |
LO3 |
Distinguish between static, default and dynamic routing. |
LO4 |
Develop and verify basic router and switch configurations in accordance with requirements |
LO5 |
Plan and deploy Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) |
