Catalog Description: This course describes the architecture, components, and operations of routers and switches in a larger and more complex network. Students learn how to configure a router and a switch for advanced functionality. Students will configure and troubleshoot routers and switches and resolve common issues with OSPF, EIGRP, STP, and VTP in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. Students will also develop the knowledge and skills needed to implement DHCP and DNS operations in a network. (4 credits) Course Prerequisites: CSCO 121 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 large networks. This course is the 3 rd 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.
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 email, 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: Configure and troubleshoot enhanced switching technologies such as VLANs, Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), Per VLAN Spanning Tree Plus Protocol (PVST+), and EtherChannel. Configure and troubleshoot first hop redundancy protocols (HSRP) in a switched network. Configure and troubleshoot wireless routers and wireless clients. Configure and troubleshoot routers in a complex routed IPv4 or IPv6 network using single-area OSPF, multi-area OSPF, and Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP). Manage Cisco IOS Software licensing and configuration files. LEARNING OUTCOMES 1. Students will configure and troubleshoot routers and switches in a large network. 2. Students will resolve common issues with OSPF, EIGRP, and STP in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. 3. Students will implement a WLAN in a small-to-medium network. Learner Outcome Measurements Measurement Method Class Discussions 1, 2, 3 Hands-on Labs 1, 2, 3 Written and Skills examinations 1, 2, 3 Learner Outcomes 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 94-100 4.0 A 90-93 3.7 A- 87-89 3.3 B+ 84-86 3.0 B 80-83 2.7 B- 77-79 2.3 C+ 74-76 2.0 C 70-73 1.7 C- 67-69 1.3 D+ 64-66 1.0 D 60-63.7 D- <60 0.0 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. 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.
