Requirements
Five exercises that consist of a preliminary report and a guided laboratory session with assignments. At least 4 out of 5 labs must be completed.
Completion parts must belong to the same implementation
Principles and baselines related to teaching and learning
Each lab is made of online prelab test, theoretical preparation, guided execution, and final report. There is no exam.
Learning Outcomes
The student becomes familiar with the equipment of a typical wired local area network. After the course he/she knows how to do simple Ethernet and IP-level configurations, can do basic performance measurements, and is able to utilize a protocol analyzer to explore and debug the operation of TCP/IP protocols.
Content
| Content | Core content | Complementary knowledge | Specialist knowledge |
| 1. | Configuration of simple networking features to Linux. Getting familiar to the commands and UI of Cisco's and Juniper's switches and routers. | ||
| 2. | Virtual LANs (VLANs) and their utilisation in a simple lab environment. | ||
| 3. | Getting practice with DHCP, NAT and implementation of a ready-made network plan with static routing. | ||
| 4. | Studying the network performance with standard tools in various setups. | ||
| 5. | Practice with application layer protocols - understand how exactly HTTP and FTP work, practice setting up sockets. |
Instructions for students on how to achieve the learning outcomes
For each lab: - the pre-lab test must be completed before the lab; - the lab assignments must be completed during the allocated time; - the final report should be correct to increase the grade. Each completed lab you complete gives 1 CP, and the grade is (number of completed reports)/(number of completed labs) * 5, rounded up.
Assessment scale:
Numerical evaluation scale (1-5) will be used on the course
Partial passing:
