Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities

Enforced pre-requisite:
COSC2385 Networking 1

You must have successfully completed COSC2385 Networking 1 before you can enrol into this course.


Course Description

This course extends your understanding of computer networking. It deepens your knowledge of Routing Protocols and introduces you to switched networks. You will develop skills in the Command Line Interface configuration of switches, port security, VLANs, VTP and inter-VLAN routing as well switch security,routing and MLS. It deepens your knowledge of wireless networks and also Wide Area Networks with emphasis on directly connected serial links, PPP authentication and redundancies technologies. You will develop skills in the configuration of advanced IP addressing techniques and the implementation of Access Control Lists.

This course includes a Work Integrated Learning experience in which your knowledge and skills will be applied and assessed in a simulated workplace context and where feedback from industry and/or community is integral to your experience.


Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development

This course contributes to the following Program Learning Outcomes for AD006 Associate Degree in Information Technology:
2. Critical Analysis
3. Problem Solving
6. Responsibility


On completion of this course you should be able to:
1.Complete a review of skills from previous semester (Networking 1) which covers: IP addressing scheme, basic routing configuration, basic switching configuration, end device configuration and review troubleshooting.
2.Configure basic wireless technology, security and troubleshooting.
3.Implement various types of Switching and Routing Redundancies such as Etherchannel and HSRP.
4.Implement Advance Switch technology, involving switch security and troubleshooting
5.Demonstrate and In-depth understanding and application of both EIGRP and OSPF both in IPv4 and IPv6 and troubleshooting.
6.Design, implement and troubleshooting high level security involving NAT, ACLs and authentication across WAN links in IPv4 and IPV6 environments.


Overview of Learning Activities

The learning activities included in this course are:
• lectures where syllabus material will be presented and explained, and the subject will be illustrated with demonstrations and examples;
• laboratory activities designed to give hands on experience in networking skills and to reinforce the lecture material;
• using a network simulator that allows you to do tasks usually performed on a physical network;
• on-line quizzes related to the skills and concepts previously learnt;
• elabs which use MacroMedia Flash resources to guide you through particular networking skills;
• written assignments consisting of questions that test understanding of concepts encountered in lectures or in labs; and
• private study, working through the course as presented in classes and learning materials, and so broadening and deepening their understanding of networking principles


Overview of Learning Resources

You will be able to access course information and learning materials through the myRMIT (also known as Blackboard) and will be provided with copies of additional materials in class. Lists of relevant reference texts, resources in the library and freely accessible Internet sites will be provided. You will also use laboratory equipment and computer software within the School.
You will be enrolled in the Cisco Networking Academy Program and have access an extensive range of curriculum resources. There is no recommended text book for this course.
