SW 597 - LAN/WAN Engineering

Institution:

Eastern Connecticut State University

Subject:

Description:

This course builds on the knowledge acquired and skills developed In SW404, Network Concepts and SW 596, Routing and Switching.Class presents knowledge and skills necessary to use advanced IP addressing and routing in implementing scalability for routers connected to LANs and WANs.Lectures include Advanced IP Addressing, Routing Principles, Configuring the EIGRP protocol, Configuring the Open Shortest Path First Protocol, Configuring IS-IS, and Manipulating Routing Updates.In addition there is discussion of wireless networks and protocols.Students complete laboratory exercises using Cisco routers and switches.Students develop skills to list the key information routers needs to route data; describe classful and classless routing protocols; describe link-state router protocol operation; compare classful and classless routing protocols; compare distance vector and link state routing protocols; describe concepts relating to extending IP addresses and the use of VLSMs to extend IP addresses; describe the features and operation of EIGRP; describe the features and operation of single area OSPF; describe the features and operation of multi-area OSPF; explain basic OSI terminology and network layer protocols used in OS; identify similarities and differences between Integrated IS-IS and OSPF; list the types of IS-IS routers and their role in IS-IS area design; describe the hierarchical structure of IS-IS areas; describe the concept of establishing adjacencies; and understand the basic wireless protocols and their uses.(Prerequisites: SW 404, SW 596) Three credits.
