First Term: 2014 Fall

Lec + Lab 4 Credit(s) 6 Period(s) 5.4 Load
Subject Type: Occupational
Load Formula: S- Standard

Description: Architecture, components, and operations of routers and switches in a small network. Students learn how to configure a router and a switch for basic functionality. Configuration and troubleshooting routers and switches and resolving common issues with RIPv1, RIPng, single-area and multi-area OSPF, virtual LANs, and inter-VLAN routing in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. Preparation for Cisco certification examination.

MCCCD Official Course Competencies

Configure and troubleshoot Network Address Translation (NAT) operations (XI)
MCCCD Official Course Competencies must be coordinated with the content outline so that each major point in the outline serves one or more competencies. MCCCD faculty retains authority in determining the pedagogical approach, methodology, content sequencing, and assessment metrics for student work. Please see individual course syllabi for additional information, including specific course requirements.
