Computer Networks Introduction

   Lectures.
   Resolution of exercises on IP addressing and sub-addressing plans.
   Deployment and configuration of elementary data networks based on real equipment and on the Packet Tracer simulator.

This course aims at providing students skills that enable them to understand the main characteristics, technologies, and protocols underlying data networks. It is also intended to enable them to deploy elementary data networks, and configure active data network devices and data terminal equipment.

The skills to be acquired by students are the ability to:
   Identify the main concepts underlying data communication networks;
   List the main technologies that support data transmission;
   Explain and illustrate how data flows through communication protocol stacks;
   Explain the main characteristics underlying local data network technologies;
   Describe the main protocols of the TCP/IP application layer;
   Install and configure elementary data networks;
   Define IP addressing plans with fixed and variable length masks.
