Main objectives of the course:
Obtain knowledge of the most widely used communication technologies and principles of internet.
Student will:
– be able to describe the principles on which the Internet is based
– know the architecture of TCP / IP networks with the ability to describe the network activity in terms of architecture layers, as well as the activities of individual protocols and devices
– be able to create and secure a simple Ethernet network
– be able to draw up an IP addressing plan, configure basic network devices and verify their operation
– be familiar with the basic security mechanisms in computer networks.

Course requirements: Continuous assessment / evaluation: In the mid-term evaluation it is possible to get 50 points. The course will be recognized by students who have successfully completed the CCNA1 Introduction to Networks course at seconodary school in version 6 or 5, and are assessed according to the outcome of the examination, which is carried out by the agreed date no later than the first week of the semester. We strongly recommend to attend this course for students, who want to continue the compulsory elective courses Computer Networks 1 and 2. Final assessment /evaluation: In the final evaluation (exam) it is possible to get 50 points (25 points from the theoretical test and 25 points from the practical assignment). At least 60% of each part (theory, practice) must be obtained on the exam (15 points). The points from the continuous and final examination are added together and this sum determines the final grade: <92, 100> points A <84, 92) points B <76, 84) points C <68, 76) points D <60, 68) points E < 0, 60) points FX To enroll for an exam student must have 30 points. | |||||||||||||

Course scheme: Lectures: 1. Introduction to computer networks. History and roles of computer networks. Internet - structure, access and core. Layered models of communication networks - ISO OSI and TCP/IP. Layers and theirs functions. Encapsulation. Network devices - end devices, intermediary devices. Addressing schemes. Packet switching and circuit switching networks. Standardization of the internet protocols. 2. Fixed and wireless LAN networks. Metallic and optic media used in LAN networks. Network topologies (bus, star, ring). Network medium access (CSMA/CD, CSMA/CA, token passing). Ethernet technology and L2 addressing. Ethernet devices and their functionality (switch, bridge, repeater, hub). WiFi technology. Security. 3. Basics of IP networks. Principles of communication in IP networks. Addressing and subnetting. Protocols - IPv4, IPv6, ICMP. Router. Routing – algorithms, protocols, building of routing table. L3 to L2 address mapping - ARP a ICMPv6 protocol. Automatic obtaining of IP addresses. 4. Transport layer. Services and protocols (TCP/UDP). Multiplexing, ports, connection-oriented and connectionless services, flow control and congestion control. 5. Application layer - Client/Server and P2P models. Protocols DNS, DHCP, HTTP. 6. Introduction to security (role and function). Identify security threats and general techniques to minimize threats. Configure network devices for increased threat resilience. Backup and restore configuration files for network devices. Seminars and Laboratory work: Laboratory activities will focus on applying the knowledge obtained via lectures and self study to solve practical assignments (configuration of network devices and their parameters, network traffic generation and testing, diagnostics, troubleshooting, etc.). | |||||||||||||
