Entry knowledge

Student are expected to be familiar with configuration of active network devices and advanced configuration of Linux systems. Cisco courses CCNA Routing and Switching or CCNP Route are recommended as prerequisities.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

  • Home preparation and hands-on labs (max 26 points).
  • Skills exam (max 20 points).
  • Final configuration and theoretical test (max 54 points)

  • Home preparation and active participation in hands-on labs.
  • Missed classes will not be replaced.

Aims

The course is focused on advanced networking technologies employed in ISP and telcom networks. It includes interdomain routing, IPv6 transitions technologies, L2 virtual technologies and quality of services. Hands-on lab training will be provided on active network devices and Linux stations.
Students learn concepts of network design, security and management of enterprise networks. They will understand network technologies like BPG, MPLS, VxVLAN, VPN tunneling, QoS and others.
