Course objectives
The goal of the exercise si to give students enrolled to the PB156 Computer Networks course an opportunity to get direct hands-on experience with network protocols and their use.
Learning outcomes
The primary output follows those of PB156, but extending the presentations with direct use of the presented materials. The graduates will get practical experience with building simply networks, analysis the traffic, understanding most of the protocols presented in lectures through actually building them and-or following them over the built network.
Syllabus
  • Introduction to the course. First layer of the network model: Analysis of network traffic and protocols. Practical work with cabling, cable testing, traffic analysis using Wireshark and Python.
  • Second layer of the network model: Basics of network device configuration and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) configuration.
  • Third layer of the network model: Principles of addressing and routing. Hands-on configuration on Linux nodes.
  • Higher-layer topic.
  • Application layer: Application protocols, plaintext communication, various levels of protocol standardization.
  • Network security and certificates.
Teaching methods
Hands-on laboratories, with eventual homework assignments, including the preparation of reports.
Assessment methods
Laboratories are mandatory, at most 2 could be skipped with proper justification. A short protocol will be required from each part of the laboratories, the submitted protocols are a conditions for fulfilling requirements
Language of instruction
Czech
