1 CSCO 120 CCNA Internetworking Fundamentals 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: Introduction to Networks Course Booklet, publisher: Cisco Press, ISBN Catalog Description: This course introduces the architecture, structure, functions, components, and models of the Internet and other computer networks. 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. The principles and structure of IP addressing and the fundamentals of Ethernet concepts, media, and operations are introduced. (4 credits) Course Prerequisites: none Course Description: This course is designed to introduce you to networking concepts, technologies, protocols, and devices that are used in networks today. This course is the 1 st 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: Describe the importance of data networks in business and personal communication. Describe the structure of a network and the function of protocols in network communications. Describe the function of well-known TCP/IP applications and their related services and protocols. Explain the role and features of the Internet Protocol Explain the structure of IP addressing and the process of designing an address structure and assigning addresses to devices. Explain the role of Data Link layer protocols in data transmission. Explain the functions of the Physical layer and its standards and protocols. Describe the Ethernet protocol and the Physical and Data Link layer features of Ethernet. Describe the cables, standards and ports used for LAN and WAN connections. Define the role of the Internetwork Operating System and identify basic IOS modes and commands. LEARNING OUTCOMES 1. Students will be able to use the OSI and TCP/IP models and their associated protocols and applications to explain how data flows in a network. 2. Students will be able to apply their knowledge of IP addressing to design and implement an IP addressing plan to meet the needs of a Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) LAN. Students will be able to perform basic configurations of network devices.

3 Class Policies & Procedures 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,

4 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. 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 ( ).
