| Aims of Module | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| This describes the use, function, and operation of routers and switches in a small campus network. Students will learn how to further configure a router and a switch beyond its basic functionality. Students will be able to configure and troubleshoot common issues with commonly used routing protocols such as RIPv1, RIPng, single OSPF in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. Students will be able to configure and troubleshoot common issues with virtual LANs, and inter-VLAN routing in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. | |||
| Learning Outcomes for Module | |
|---|---|
| On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to: | |
| 1 | Evaluate basic switching concepts and the use of switches in a small campus network. The use of VLANs to create logically separate networks, and route between them. |
| 2 | Evaluate basic routing concepts and the use of routers in a small campus network. The use of routing tables and the route lookup process. |
| 3 | Analyse and assess the merits of static, default and dynamic routing protocols(distance vector and link-state). |
| 4 | Design, and implement access control lists (ACLs) for IPv4 and IPv6 networks. |
| 5 | Evaluate the use of DHCP and NAT in IPv4 & IPv6 networks. |
| Indicative Module Content |
|---|
| Switched Networks & VLANs: Identify switched network terminology. Identify switch hardware terminology as compared to switch selection criteria. Cable the network and verify the default switch configuration. Configure basic network device settings. Explain the purpose of VLANs in a switched network. Implement VLANs to segment a small-to-medium sized network. Routing Concepts (Inter-VLAN & Static): Describe primary functions and features of a router. Configure initial settings on a router. Configure devices and verify connectivity. Display router information. Configure routing between VLANs in a small-to-medium sized business network. Identify the topologies as either legacy, router-on-a-stick, or multilayer switch inter-VLAN routing types. Explain the benefits of using static routes. Configure a static route to other networks using next-hop addresses. Configure and verify a static route to a directly connected network using an exit interface. Dynamic Routing and Single area OSPF: Explain the operation of dynamic routing protocols. Explain the process by which link-state routers learn about other networks. Configure OSPFv2 routing. Verify configurations and network connectivity. Access Control Lists: Explain the purpose and operation of ACLs. Plan an ACL implementation. Configure, apply, and verify standard/extended ACLs. Networks Address Translation and DHCP: Describe NAT characteristics. Identify NAT terminology by placing the terms to their correct locations on a topology diagram representation. Configure dynamic NAT traffic, pools, associations, and interfaces. Verify NAT implementation by accessing Internet services and viewing NAT translations. Configure DHCP for IPv4 or IPv6. |
