Course Description

CN&I is a major course in the field of IT. Organizations, with hundred

of offices spread over a wide geographical area routinely expect to be able to
examine the current status of even their most remote outpost at the push of a
button. So the best way to achieve this goal is to provide the students this
opportunity to study the course that reveals the cabling structure, connecting
the computers, marinating a LAN environment and different ways to
concatenate LANs to make WAN. This course also divulges significant
information about the Internet and how to use the TCP/IP suite. At the end a
practical training of establishing a LAN is arranged to give the required
practical exposure and confidence to the students.
