Network Design and Administration - CISCO

Writing strategies geared to target audiences. Emphasis on research and problem-solving requiring critical reading and writing; development of ideas and argumentation. Includes layout and design, use of illustration, schematics and mathematics. Prereq: ENGL 105 or permission.

Course Substitute : BTM 111 - Business Applications I or Previous computer experience and MS Office

Introduces computers and information systems, including hardware, software, data organization, data communications, systems development, the constantly changing roles of Information Technology (IT) professionals, and the evolving role of computers in society.

Provides the background necessary to understand network technologies. The course serves as a general introduction for students who need a foundation in current networking technology for local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), and the Internet.

Provides a basic understanding of hardware components in personal and portable computers/peripherals and how software interacts with the hardware. Provides hands-on experience installing/configuring components, recognizing problems, logically analyzing symptoms, and developing step-by-step troubleshooting procedures that may be applied to new and unexpected situations.

Learn basic aspects of discrete mathematics common to information technology: scientific notation; binary and hexadecimal number systems; logical operations and the design of logical networks; set theory; relations and functions; combinatorics; graphs and directed graphs; regular expressions; and finite-state machines.

Covers the installation and configuration of a managed enterprise client operating system on stand-alone clients/computers that are part of a workgroup, domain, or cloud infrastructure. Includes configuration and implementation skills for creating a client for a LAN/WAN server structure using a directory based network. IaC (Infrastructure as Code) from the client perspective is introduced.

Covers how to: install managed enterprise-class servers in a LAN\WAN\Cloud configuration; implement a directory service to provide single sign-on; use a console to monitor systems; administer account, group, and enterprise policies; script common tasks; and study network protocols and services. Explores hypervisors, routing and remote access, DHCP, DNS, and business continuity.

Focuses on administering enterprise class servers. Investigates IaC (Infrastructure as Code). Students learn to deploy advanced directory services, explore enterprise server tools using PowerShell & Python, and develop a foundation in the use & manipulation of enterprise systems operation applications. Specific attention is given to Authentication, Authorization, and Access to enterprise/Cloud objects.

Analyze and construct a networked application environment. Examine network path availability, fault tolerance, and cost in homogenous and diverse environments on many scales. Evaluate tool selection for best-of-breed and monolithic system environments. Perform maintenance, deployment, and auditing using PowerShell and Python.

Continuation of IT 241. Covers safety, networking, network protocols, LANs, WANs, Ethernet, LAN switching, router IOS, TCP/IP addressing, router configuration, dynamic routing, static routing and the network administrator's role and function. Emphasis on techniques to solve networking problems.

Third of three courses designed to expand knowledge and previously learned networking skills. Introduces and extends the configuration ability of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), Layer 3 Switching, and Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP). Covers Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), Wide Area Networks (WANs), & network troubleshooting. Includes Point-to-Point Protocols (PPP) & frame relay design, configuration, & maintenance.
