1 CSCO 121 CCNA Routing and Switching Essentials Spring 2018 Instructor: Joseph Cheung Phone: Office: HTC 132 Office Hours: Fri. and Saturday, 4:00 8:00 pm, Monday and Tuesday. 4:00-8:00 pm No textbook is required. All reading materials are available online as part of the course. You will be provided with the web link to the NETACAD and password at the start of the class. An optional printed version of the text is available from Ciscopress.com: Routing and Switching Essentials Companion Guide, publisher: Cisco Press, ISBN: Catalog Description: This course describes the 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. Students will configure and troubleshoot routers and switches and resolve common issues with RIPv1, RIPv2, single-area and multi-area OSPF, virtual LANs, and inter-vlan routing in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. (4 credits) Course Prerequisites: CSCO 120 with a "C" or better Course Description: This course is designed to introduce you to routers and switches with an understanding of how they are used in small networks. This course is the 2 nd of 4 courses in the Cisco CCNA Routing and Switching curriculum. The course includes activities such as using Packet Tracer, hands-on lab work, and a variety of assessments to help you understand the concepts covered. Preparation for Cisco certification exam. METHOD OF INSTRUCTION: This class is taught via the Internet using Web Campus/Canvas. As an Internet based class, online discussions, presentations, and hands-on exercises using remote equipment and network simulators will be the primary means of instruction. Online text material is provided by Cisco. Chapter quizzes and labs will be assigned to provide practice and test student knowledge of concepts and skills.

2 AN IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT ONLINE CLASSES: 1. Do not assume that online classes are easier than traditional "face-to-face" classes. 2. Online classes can actually be more difficult than traditional classes. They require constant motivation and self-direction on the part of the student. 3. You are responsible for reading, studying, asking questions, completing assignments, being organized, and staying on schedule. Unlike a traditional face-to-face class, I cannot tell when you are having problems and you cannot raise your hand for help. You must make the initiative to contact me via , office hours, or phone call. MAJOR OBJECTIVES OF THIS CLASS The primary objective for this class is to provide students with a strong working knowledge of database design and implementation, stored program development, and database administration. The more important topics to be covered in this class include: Introduce and describe basic switching concepts and the operation of Cisco. Determine how a router will forward traffic based on the contents of a routing table. Explain how switching operates in a small to medium-sized business network. Use monitoring tools and network management protocols to troubleshoot data networks. Configure monitoring tools available for small to medium-sized business networks. Configure initial settings on a network device. Configure Ethernet switch ports. Implement VLANs. Implement static routing. Implement DHCP on a router. Implement network address translation (NAT). Implement access control lists (ACLs) to filter traffic. LEARNING OUTCOMES 1. Students will configure and troubleshoot routing in a small network. 2. Students will configure, monitor and troubleshoot ACLs for IPv4 and IPv6. Students will be able to perform basic configurations of network devices. 3. Students will configure and troubleshoot NAT operations.

3 GRADING POLICY: Grading in this course is based upon the following: Assignments 50% Discussions 10% Tests 40% The grades will be calculated on a percentage scale and then recorded as the corresponding grade point value as shown below. Percentage Grade Point Value Letter Grade A A B B B C C C D D D- < F I Incomplete See below W Withdrawal See below If, for some reason, you feel that you cannot complete the course, you must officially (W)ithdraw from the class by Monday of the tenth week. If you do not officially withdraw from the class, your grade will be based on the assignments you have completed averaged with zeroes for uncompleted assignments, which could result in a grade of F. To withdraw from the class, you must contact the instructor and complete the Add/Drop form available at the center. The W is not used in computing your cumulative grade-point average. It will appear, however, on your transcript, and will always be a permanent part of it. An (I)ncomplete will be given only to a student who has completed ¾ of the course with a grade of C or better, but is unable to complete the class for good cause. You must arrange for the incomplete with your instructor and acknowledge the statement of work you must complete to receive a final grade. You have until March 15 th for Fall Semesters and October 15 th for Spring Semesters to complete the work for a final grade. An incomplete not made up within this time period will have a grade assigned by the instructor, which could be an F or W. EXAM: There will be a practical final exam at the end of the semester. Networking is a handson business, and this exam gives you a chance to practice those skills. The hands-on exam will test the skills you practice in the course labs. If you have completed the course labs successfully, you should be able to complete this exam in about an hour. This exam is not designed to trick or torture you, but you will not pass it if you take it lightly and don t prepare.

4 ASSIGNMENTS: The assignments will consist of hands-on labs that can be completed on Elko s GBC campus and/or online as well as a possible discussion post related to the week s topic. Each week s assignments are due by Monday at 11:59 pm; if any assignments are not completed, you will receive a zero, 0. No late work is accepted, unless it is approved in writing by the instructor by 5:00 p.m. PST the Friday prior to the assignment s due date. OTHER POLICIES: Plagiarism and other forms of academic dishonesty will not be tolerated and can result in a failing grade. The student conduct policy stated in the GBC Catalog will be enforced. This syllabus is not a contract and is subject to reasonable changes as the class proceeds. CAMPUS SECURITY: GBC is committed to the safety of our students and has a duty to promote awareness and prevention programs for violence on campus under the Jeanne Clery Act as well as the Campus SaVE (Sexual Violence Elimination Act) and VAWA (Violence Against Women Act), which are amendments to Clery. Acts of violence include, but are not limited to, sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. Acts of violence can occur on the physical campus or centers of GBC in addition to field placement sites, clinical practice settings, and other places where college or class activities occur. As well, the online environment at GBC is considered a GBC site. If you experience any incidence where your safety has been threatened or violated, or if you feel threatened or harassed, immediately report this to me, any center director, faculty, or staff member, or directly to the Director of Environmental Health, Safety & Security( ) or the Vice President for Student Services( ).
