ELEC 123V - Advanced Networking

4 credits

Students will understand and use switches and routers in simple and complex networks. Emphasis is provided on the use and operation of a wide range of network products. Additional exposure is given to a selection of traditional wide area network services which are used in today’s network infrastructure. Students will be able to describe in detail the layered approach to networking and define in detail Layer 2 switching processes and protocols. Students will come to understand and use all TCP/IP protocols including IPv6. They will also define how VLANS fit into the network environment as well as other topics within the field. To understand how the network works, students will work in a networked lab and use computer simulation projects to construct their own WAN environments.
