Aim of the course

Student is able: configurate switches and routers, describe distance vector and link state routing protocols, chose appropriate interior and exterior gateway routing protocols, manage IP addresses and apply NAT and PAT mechanisms.

Student has knowledge about sources of hazards in security of computer networks and is able to prevent them with the application of the ALC, Firewalls, IPS, IDS and DMZ. Student is able to describe, chose and apply different WAN technologies.

Prerequisites

Computer networks I

Scope

IP address management: Sub-netting with the application of VLSM. IP addresses aggregation. Private addressing with NAT and PAT implementation.

Routers: Architecture, application and advanced configuration. Static and dynamic routing. Default routing. Full-class and classless routing. Link state and distance vector routing protocols: RIPv1, RIPv2, IGRP, OSPF, EIGRP. Interior and exterior gateway routing protocols. Multiarea OSPF. Network convergence: split horizon, count to infinity, hold-down timers and route poisoning methods. Load balancing in computer networks.

Network security: Standard and extended access control list configuration. Dynamic access control list. Reflexive access control list. Context-base access control list. Firewalls, IPS, IDS and DMZ.

Ethernet switches: architecture, futures and configuration of the switches in the hierarchical computer networks. VLANs and their configuration. STP, RSTP, PVST+, Rapid PVST+ and MSTP algorithms. VLANs internetworks routing.

WAN technologies: ISDN, xDSL, ATM, FrameRelay, SONET, MPLS, Metroethernet.

Introduction to routers: Router components and operation. User interface and configuration principle. Troubleshooting.
