Connecting Networks (Cisco Networking 4) is the last of four courses that prepares students for the Cisco Certified Networking Associate (CCNA) certification. This course discusses the Wide Area Network (WAN) technologies and network services required by converged applications in a complex network. The course enables students to understand the selection criteria of network devices and WAN technologies to meet network requirements. Students learn how to configure and troubleshoot network devices and resolve common issues with data link protocols. Students also develop the knowledge and skills needed to implement Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) and Virtual Private Network (VPN) operations in a complex network.
Prerequisites/Corequisites:
Course Completion of CS 182.21C

Methods of Evaluation/Basis of Grade.
Writing: Assessment tools that demonstrate writing skill and/or require students to select, organize and explain ideas in writing. | Writing 0 - 0% |
None | |
This is a degree applicable course but assessment tools based on writing are not included because problem solving assessments and skill demonstrations are more appropriate for this course. |
|
Problem solving: Assessment tools, other than exams, that demonstrate competence in computational or non-computational problem solving skills. | Problem Solving 15 - 30% |
Homework problems, Creation of network design diagrams and layouts | |
Skill Demonstrations: All skill-based and physical demonstrations used for assessment purposes including skill performance exams. | Skill Demonstrations 20 - 30% |
Class performances of Network device configuration | |
Exams: All forms of formal testing, other than skill performance exams. | Exams 20 - 30% |
6-10 quizzes and Simulated equipment configuration | |
Other: Includes any assessment tools that do not logically fit into the above categories. | Other Category 10 - 25% |
Attendance and participation in scenario based exercises | |
