Course objectives
The main goal of the course LAN Switching and Wireless Networks, WAN is to provide students with information on modern computer networks and allow them to acquire practical skills for building and managing computer networks. During the course students will be acquainted with the principles and management (configuration) possibilities of switched local area networks and wireless local area networks. The attention will also be paid to the access to wide area computer networks and to security issues.
At the end of this course, students will:
be able to operate Cisco switches;
be able to create and configure virtual local area networks;
know the STP and VTP concepts;
be able to manage and configure wireless local area networks;
have knowledge from the area of wide computer networks;
be familiar with the principles of point-to-point communication;
know the Frame Relay technology;
have a basic knowledge of computer networks security;
be able to configure NAT, DHCP, and RIP for IPv6.
