Aims

The goal of this course is to inform students about network services and tools for  network administration and traffic control. Practical part of the course includes laboratory assignments where students can apply theoretical knowledge in configuration and analysis of real network services (DHCP, DNS, IP telephony, network monitoring and management, etc.).

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Assignments in labs, mid-term test in labs.

To pass the semestr exam, minimum 20 points from this exam have to be reached.

Recommended optional programme components
