COURSE DESCRIPTION
This is combined course for CCNA Introduction to Network and Routing & Switching Essential courses. This
course introduces the architecture, structure, functions, components, and models of the Internet and other
computer networks and also provides a comprehensive, theoretical, and practical approach to learning the
technologies and protocols needed to design and implement a converged switched network. It uses the OSI and
TCP layered models to examine the nature and roles of protocols and services at the application, network, data
link, and physical layers. It will explain Principles and structure of IP addressing and the fundamentals of
Ethernet concepts, media, and operations are introduced to provide a foundation.
TARGETED PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATION: CCENT

COURSE OBJECTIVES
After finishing this course, student will be able to perform;
Build simple LAN topologies by applying basic principles of cabling
Basic configurations of network devices such as routers and switches
Implementing IP addressing schemes (Subnetting and supernetting, VLSM)
Students learn about the hierarchical network design model and how to select devices for each layer.
Configure a switch for basic functionality and how to implement virtual LANs, VTP, and inter-VLAN
routing in a converged network.
The different implementations of Spanning Tree Protocol in a converged network are presented
Develop the knowledge and skills necessary to implement a WLAN in a small-to-medium network.

The course includes the regular quizzes to monitor the progress of students. As a general rule, no
makeups for the assignments unless you can supply a doctors note or police report.
Final tests may be attempted twice if the first attempt falls below the passing grade.
Attendance of all classes is mandatory. Failure to attend three consequent classes may result in
course termination for the student. Failure to attend 15 hours of classes may result in course

Please be careful with the equipment. If you have doubts about some operations with the
equipment you must ask the instructor before proceeding with any action.
Any form of academic dishonesty (ex. cheating, plagiarism, collusion, and misrepresentation) are
serious offences. Penalties for academic dishonesty range from a grade of zero on the work in
question to expulsion from the Networking Academy. Decisions on the cases of academic
dishonesty will be made by the Instructor and can be appealed to Academy Coordinator.

Assessment:
Course assessment will be done in the form of final course tests. Students scored 75% or above
in total grade (Final exam must be higher than 75%) will be entitled to receive Certificate of
