Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

  • Active laboratory work (max. 62 points).
  • Practical skills tests (max. 38 points).
  • For successful completation of the course, one needs to get at least 50 points are needed. Each student needs to get the minimal number of points from all regular laboratory activities.
  • Optionally, each student can obtain CCNA1 Cisco Networking Academy Certificate of Completion all tests including Final exam and Skill test must be passed with min. score 80%.
  • Alternative laboratories substituing an absence at laboratories during illness possible with teacher's agreement only.

Aims

Students gain practical skills with switch configuration, Ethernet technology virtual LANs (VLANs). The course also deals with IP addressing, routing, basic configuration of routers, routing protocol RIP. The content of the course covers CCNA 1 (Introduction to Networks) and partially CCNA 2 (Switching, Routing, and Wireless Essentials).

This course provides support for getting CCNA cerificate (Cisco Certified Network Associate). Students are expected to enroll to I2C for further knowledge needed to receive the certificate.

By completing the course you will acquire the practical knowledge of computer networks. You will understand the principles of computer communication, and you will also learn how to set up different network devices and troubleshoot network configuration.

Study aids

Students can access Netacad that offers e-learning materials.
