Networking Laboratory I, Laboratory work

Core content

• Configuration of simple networking features on computers running the Linux operating system
• IPv4 subnetworking, static routing, DHCP, DNS and NAT. Use of aforementioned technologies is a laboratory environment
• Implementing a ready-made network topology in practice
• Studying the network performance with standard tools in various setups. Usage of a protocol analyzer (Wireshark)
• Practice and usage of application and transport layer protocols
• Differences of TCP and UDP

Complementary knowledge

• Configuration of simple networks using Cisco networking devices (switches and routers)
• Virtual Local Area Networks (VLAN) and Virtual Private Networks (VPN)
• Planning a network topology

Specialist knowledge

• Other application layer protocols (HTTP, FTP, SMTP, etc.)
• Network simulator GNS3
• IPv6 addressing

We will try to arrange some laboratory work as contact teaching. It will be possible to complete the labs remotely as well. Please find the details on the course Moodle page.
