Five exercises that consist of a preliminary report, a guided laboratory session and a post-lab report. At least 4 out of 5 labs and a mandatory practical assignment must be completed. |
Learning Outcomes
The student becomes familiar with the equipment of a typical wired local area network. After the course he/she knows how to do simple Ethernet and IP-level configurations, can do basic performance measurements, and is able to utilize a protocol analyzer to explore and debug the operation of TCP/IP protocols.
Content
| Content | Core content | Complementary knowledge | Specialist knowledge |
| 1. | Configuration of simple networking features to Linux. Getting familiar to the commands and UI of Cisco's and Juniper's switches and routers. | ||
| 2. | Virtual LANs (VLANs) and their utilisation in a simple lab environment. | ||
| 3. | Getting practice with DHCP, NAT and implementation of a ready-made network plan with static routing. | ||
| 4. | Studying the network performance with standard tools in various setups. | ||
| 5. | Practice with application layer protocols - understand how exactly HTTP and FTP work, practice setting up sockets. |
Instructions for students on how to achieve the learning outcomes
For each lab: - the pre-lab test must be completed before the lab; - the lab assignments must be completed during the allocated time; - the final report should be correct to increase the grade. Each completed lab you complete gives 1 CP, and the grade is (number of completed reports)/(number of completed labs) * 5, rounded up.
Assessment scale:
Numerical evaluation scale (0-5)
