Learning outcomes
The course is designed as an introduction to the application and operation of computer networks for students of el. disciplines. During 14 weeks, students will get acquainted with the operation of TCP / IP networks, LAN network technologies, physical layer solutions. An extensive part is devoted to the network layer and the DNS system.
The basic knowledges from computer network area (especially from LAN networks). The student will be able independently and actively solve the dis-functionality of computer networks mainly on 2nd and 3th level.
Prerequisites
No special knowledge required

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Written examination

During the semester and in the final exam, the student must demonstrate an understanding of the solved problems. The specific requirements will be communicated to the students by the teacher in the first week of the semester.
