Planeamento e Instalação de Redes

Computer Networks.

The following teaching methodologies are used in this course:

1 – Expository method: explanatory method where theoretical foundations and concepts are presented by the teacher and discussed with the class, followed by demonstrative examples;

2 – Experimental method: active method where the student develops knowledge through problem solving, and via the development of individual or group laboratory projects.

At the end of the course the student should be able to:

1. Explain the architecture of enterprise networks. Design and modify a communication network. Analyze and discuss the needs of an organization regarding connection technologies, passive/active equipment, security, redundancy, segmentation and interconnection.

2. Identify the different types of routing. Justify the need for static routes. Design and create static routes. Classify the dynamic routing protocols. Demonstrate the OSPF protocol configuration and use in the automatic generation of routes.

3. Characterize the different properties of a switch port. Illustrate the configuration of ports. Classify the STP protocols and list their characteristics. Identify the properties of an etherchannel connection and demonstrate its configuration. Summarize the operation of VLANs. Demonstrate both the configuration of VLANs and inter-vlan routing.

4. Classify and compare the different types of wireless local area networks, wireless personal area networks, and metropolitan area networks. Plan and create a wireless local area network.

5. Compare and analyze the different types of active and passive equipment. Design and build a communication network using both types of equipment. Demonstrate the crimping, testing and installation of cables. Illustrate the configuration of active equipment. Specify the installation of cables and equipment in racks.

6. Demonstrate the use of software in monitoring communication networks. Analyze and illustrate the management of network addresses through software.

1. Enterprise network architecture. Layered hierarchical organization. Need for redundancy in the various network layers. Network design and dimensioning. Network design model (access, distribution, core). Criteria for the network dimensioning. Criteria for equipment selection.  

2. Routing. Classification. Static routing. Configuration of static routes. VLSM. Dynamic routing protocols. “Distance Vector” routing protocols (RIP, EIGRP). Link-state routing protocols (OSPF, IS-IS). OSPF protocol.

3. Switching. Switch Ports: status, duplex, speed configuration on a switch. STP protocols: PVST+, RSTP, MSTP. Etherchannel: PAgP, LACP. VLANs. Trunking and VLAN switching solutions. Inter-VLAN routing: legacy and router-on-a-stick.

4. Wireless networks. Wireless Local Area Networks IEEE 802.11 (WLANs): 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, 802.11ac, 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6). Wireless Personal Area Networks IEEE 802.15 (WPANs): Bluetooth, Zigbee. LPWAN Networks: Lo​​​​Ra, LTE​-M, NB-Io​​​T.

5. Types of equipment. Passive equipment: direct and crossover RJ-45 ethernet cables, rollover cables, sockets, patch panels and network racks. Crimping pliers, and test equipment. Active equipment: Hubs, Switchs, Routers and Access Points.

6. Network management software. Management protocols (SNMP, Syslog). Network monitoring tools (Nagios, Zabbix, MRTG, Cacti, GLPI, Glasswire). Address management tools (TIPP, phpIPAM).
