CSCO-291 Introduction to Networks
The focus of this course is on learning the fundamentals of networking. Topics include the two major models used to plan and implement networks - OSI and TCP/IP, the functions and services of the OSI and TCP/IP layers, the various network devices, network addressing schemes, and the types of media used to carry data across the network. Labs will include hands-on configuration of routers and switches in client-server and peer-to-peer environments with utilization of various network tools for protocol data unit analysis and troubleshooting.
