Learning Results

This course unit is designed to provide the necessary skills in the link layer of the OSI model. Students should be able to (i) describe and distinguish composition, internal architecture and working modes of hubs, switches, routers and terminals, (ii) develop the overhaul configuration of switches and routers based on lOS, (iii) describe the operation of virtual local area networks (VLAN) and VLAN routing, (iv) apply security measures to switches, (v) configure several protocols used on switches, (vi) describe main features of wireless local area networks (IEEE 802.11 standard).
