Computer Network Design

The course aims to introduce the students to the design and implementation of networks. Especially in the context of the course topics related to network topologies, cabling and structured cabling, the existing network technologies and devices are presented. Lab exercises are conducted using CCNA Packet Tracer.

Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course, students should: 1. Understand the basic principles and concepts of networks. 2. Understand the basic principles of structured cabling. 3. Compare the existing network technologies. 4. analyze the needs and to design systems at a basic level. 5. They form, operate and manage errors in medium-sized networks.

Prerequisites

Computer networks (D1).
