Ganze Fall 2010 after Spring 2011 semester: In my various careers I have always enjoyed helping people and have always been active in doing so. From my high school days to the military service, police officer, financial planner, Texas Parks and Wildlife kid-fishing instructor, Blue Santa program and now a teacher, I achieve great satisfaction in helping others and have been recognized for doing so. Working with mentally and physically handicapped children makes me realize how precious life and health is and to not take it for granted. The former students who I am proud to say are now my friends keep in touch with me and let me know how they are doing and what they are accomplishing in their new jobs. The letters and photos I have hanging on my wall in my office mean more to me than the degrees that are up there with them. I continue to remain excited and enthusiastic about education and try to relay that message to my students about how an education can change your life like it did mine. All my students hear my personal story about how education changed my life and how it can change theirs. Although I continually receive high feedback scores from student evaluations, my teaching philosophies change with each class I teach. Since I teach 3 different courses, I cannot teach them the same way. Some things I strictly believe in though and they will not change as far as student learning. I believe you learn more by doing than by reading or lecturing so I emphasize hands on techniques and the bulk of our class times are spent either building circuits or designing and implementing complex networking systems where the students design the topology, connect the devices together, configure the devices and bring the system on line up and running. In my electronics courses, I spend enough time explaining a circuit, how it works, what it is supposed to do and then we build it to prove it. While the students get their basic knowledge from the text book or on-line courses, I am there to answer any questions they may have and I still take it personally when a student fails or doesn t try to reach his/her full potential. Having come from a

2 working and not academic back ground, I am very familiar with what it takes to become successful in the workplace and try to relate this to my students. I realized late in life that teaching was my career calling and that it was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. By becoming a teacher, I could do what I loved to do. Help people to become what they want to be. I have been told that I have great patience and explain things in an understandable manner by taking difficult concepts and using analogies to simplify them. In a time when a lot of my peers are unhappy with their careers and unsure of what their future has in store for them, it is refreshing to know that through teaching I can do what I love to do and that is to help people achieve their dreams. My teaching philosophy at the end of Spring 2011 semester: Part 3: Course Syllabus: ITCC Exploration - Network Fundamentals Catalog Description: A course introducing the architecture, structure, functions, components, and models of the internet. Describes the use of OSI and TCP layered models to examine the nature and roles of protocols and services at the applications, network, data link, and physical layers. Covers the principles and structure of IP addressing and the fundamentals of Ethernet concepts, media, and operations. Build simple LAN topologies by applying basic principles of cabling; perform basic configurations of network devices, including routers and switches; and implementing IP addressing schemes. Lecture Hrs. = 3, Lab Hrs. = 3 Prerequisite(s): Prerequisite: CPMT 1449 and READ 300, ESOL 310, or equivalent Semester Credit Hours: 4.00 Lecture Hours per Week: 3 Lab Hours per Week: 3 Clinical Hours per Week: 0 Co-op Hours per Week: 0 Intership Hours per Week: 0 Practicum Hours per Week: 0 Contact Hours per Semester: State Approval Code: Course Fees:0 Course Subject/Catalog Number: ITCC 1401 Course Title: Exploration - Network Fundamentals

3 Course Rationale: Network Fundamentals expands on the information learned in the Introduction to Networking (CPMT 1449) course. Its goal is to help students develop the skills necessary to fulfill the job of network technicians, network administrators, and network engineers. This curriculum presents students with the skills necessary to succeed in networking-related degree programs and helps them prepare for CCNA certification. Learning Objectives: 1. Recognize the devices and services that are used to support communications across the Internet. 2. Explain the role of protocols in data network. 3. Describe the importance of addressing and naming schemes at various layers of data networks. 4. Design, calculate, and apply subnet masks and addresses and build a simple Ethernet network using routers and switches. Specific Tasks Accomplished: 1. Explain how communication works in data networks and the internet. 2. Describe the protocols and services provided by the application layer in the OSI and TCP/IP models. 3. Analyze the operations and features of transport and network layer protocols and services and explain routing. 4. Describe the operation of protocols at the OSI data link layer. 5. Explain the role of the physical layer. 6. Explain fundamental Ethernet concepts such as media, services, and operation. 7. Use Cisco command-line interface (CLI) commands to perform basic router and switch configuration and verification. 8. Analyze the operations and features of common application layer protocols such a HTTP, DNS, DHCP, SMTP, Telnet, and FTP. Grading Policy: Your final grade will be determined from your work in the laboratory, lecture evaluations and overall performance. Satisfactory completion of ALL laboratory work is required for completing the course. The following grading system will be used to determine your final grade: 11 Module Tests 20% Labs 20% Case Study 20% Final Test 40% 100$ Final Grade

4 Textbook and Supplies Requirement: 1. Textbook as listed in bookstore. See for policies on disabilities and cheating. If you decide to withdraw from the course, make sure you fill out an official drop through the college. Students who stop attending and do not officially drop the course will receive an F as their final grade. Part 4: Student Assignments: Assignment #1 : Module 3 OSI (open systems interconnection ) model. CT Description: The Open Systems Interconnection reference model is a layered, abstract representation created as a guideline for network protocol design. The OSI model divides the networking process into seven logical layers, each of which has unique functionality and to which are assigned specific services and protocols. Student Learning Outcomes: You will gain an understanding of the "layered" approach to networks and examine the OSI layers in detail to understand their functions and services. Chapter 3 introduces you to the top network model layer, the Application layer. In this context, you will explore the interaction of protocols, services, and applications, with a focus on HTTP, DNS, DHCP, SMTP/POP, Telnet and FTP. The following chapters introduce you to the layers and their functions and protocols and how they depend on each other to perform correctly. Assignment #2 : Module 6 Ping and Traceroute Commands CT Description: Two tools that are indispensable when testing TCP/IP network connectivity are ping and tracert. The ping utility is available on Windows, Linux, and Cisco IOS, and tests network connectivity. The tracert utility is available on Windows, and a similar utility, traceroute, is available on Linux and Cisco IOS. Student Learning Outcomes: In this lab, the ping and tracert commands will be examined, and command options will be used to modify the command behavior. To familiarize the students with the use of the commands, devices in the Cisco lab will be tested. Assignment #3: Addressing the Network IPV4

5 CT Description: This chapter examines in detail the structure of IPv4 addresses and their application to the construction and testing of IP networks and subnetworks. Student Learning Outcomes: In this chapter, you will learn to: 1. Explain the structure IP addressing and demonstrate the ability to convert between 8-bit binary and decimal numbers. 2. Given an IPv4 address, classify by type and describe how it is used in the network. 3. Explain how addresses are assigned to networks by ISPs and within networks by administrators. 4. Determine the network portion of the host address and explain the role of the subnet mask in dividing networks. 5. Given IPv4 addressing information and design criteria, calculate the appropriate addressing components. 6. Use common testing utilities to verify and test network connectivity and operational status of the IP protocol stack on a host. Assessment s: The Cisco assessments are created and assigned to each module by Cisco and the instructor has no control over them. They are created to test each individual s knowledge of the module and certain aspects of the course. Each module and test builds on the previous module so at the end of the semester the student has a complete understanding of networking concepts. At the end of the last semester, Cisco Exploration 4, the course has several practice exams that the student can access to take to help study for the Cisco CCNA certification exam. Case Study: During the final semester I create teams of 3 or 4 students and assign a case study to be performed and turned digitally for 30% of their final grade. CCNA Exploration: Routing Protocols and Concepts Case Study IP Addressing, Router Configuration & Access Lists Phase I The Carl I. Samson Company of Bangor, Maine is expanding its operations by opening two new offices, one in Phoenix and one in Chicago. They want to keep web services and Internet access at the Bangor office, but move tech support to Chicago. The network administrator also needs to ensure security on their network by isolating certain parts of the business to their own LAN segments. C.I.S. Co (how industry insiders refer to the company) will be changing its IP addressing scheme to use part of a Class-B IP address ( / 21) to manage the approximately 600 computers it could eventually have. No individual LAN segment currently has more than 100 computers, but the company wants to allow for the possibility of doubling the number of users in each office.

6 Routers and a new IP addressing scheme allowing each of the locations to have its own sub-network will be implemented. There is only one connection point to the outside world through the Bangor router. Any IP traffic whose destination is outside of the IP addresses for the company will be sent out through this router to their Internet provider. The attached diagram of the network will help in setting up the new IP addressing. Create a list of the new subnets, the range of host addresses that could be assigned within each subnet and the new subnet mask that will be used inside the network. Subnet Address New Subnet Mask: First Host Address Last Host Address Broadcast Address Name of Network Segment

7 Workstation Config: Phoenix Bangor IP Address: Subnet Mask: Gateway: Phase III Using Packet Tracer, create the network and configure the router interfaces, IP host tables, passwords, banners, descriptions, hostnames and the routing protocol of your choice. Begin documentation by capturing the output from show run and show ip route. Configure the workstations and printers with IP addresses and verify connectivity throughout the entire network. Phase IV The Network Administrator has decided to implement some Access-Control Lists within the network for security and network performance. For purposes of access control lists, the serial links joining the Phoenix/Chicago and Chicago/Bangor routers do not need to be included in filtering, as they have no workstations on them. The following are the required restrictions and permissions: PHX= Phoenix LAN CHG=Chicago LAN BAN=Bangor LAN Users from any LAN should be able to print to the printers in PHX and BAN (port 9100). All users (including Internet) should be able to access the web server in BAN (port 80). The CHG workstation should be able to Telnet to all three routers through the nearest port. EXTRA: The CHG workstation should be able to Ping all devices on the network. No other LAN-to-LAN traffic is permitted. All users on PHX, CHG and BAN should be able to go to the Internet. Traffic out to the Internet should be limited to only have source IP s from the local networks. Internet traffic in should be limited to not allow packets with source IP s from our LAN. Document each line in the access-list by explaining its purpose. Include screen captures of the tests performed to verify the access-lists. Test Results Permit/Deny Source Destination Traffic Type Result? Phase V Prepare final network documentation that at a minimum should include a cover sheet, running configs, ip routes, ip protocols and CDP neighbors.

8 Create a narrative describing the project in your own words. If working in a team, summarize what each team member contributed to the project. Create a title page and final written copy of the project. Final Create a 10-minute presentation as you would for a report to the Vice President of the company. This should be done using PowerPoint, Visio, Word or another software package that allows projection using a VGA projector. A copy of the presentation should be available for the instructor.
