Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to introduce the students to the key concepts in the data networks area. It focuses on the communication theory, basic network types and communication protocols, computer and data network planning, linking and general network security, introduction to hardware technologies focusing on servers and network hardware.
A student who has successfully completed the course can: describe the basic historical phases of computer development and give examples; enumerate and characterize types of computational model, include them historically, explain differences and similarities; graphically and verbally describe the structure of the computer and the general network node; to characterize individual types of communications in computer networks, to specify their properties and to identify advantages and disadvantages of given types of communication; describe individual types of computer memories and explain their technological and functional differences; describe the ISO / OSI model, its individual layers, the communication between them and the importance of the model for practice; to characterize and classify computer interface types, explain their purpose and use at present; describe and classify transmission media according to the method of signal transmission, corresponding topology and purpose; to characterize the problems of communication on the link layer and its related problem of access control using individual types of access methods, to describe selected access methods; enumerate and give a brief description of the communication standards used in practice; describe and explain in detail network layer communication using network protocols and current standards; describe and explain in detail transport layer communication using transport protocols and current standards; describe and explain application layer communication using selected application protocols of commonly used network services including secure; to characterize basic types of computer network security in relation to individual types of threats to network infrastructure security, network traffic, services and data. A student who has successfully completed the course can: draw and describe the basic types of network topologies with examples of their use; create a network node configuration proposal based on its function, usage, and communication requirements; create a configuration proposal for basic network infrastructure types for a Small Office / Home Office (SOHO) target entity, including security design against basic security threats on a computer network; use basic tools for configuring and managing a network node; solve simple network infrastructure interference in order to manage computer network traffic; install the operating system on a network node, configure network connectivity, and basic network services. The student who has successfully completed the course is able to: make informed decisions about how to handle requests and service interventions as an IT team manager by assigning a task to team members based on their own expertise, team members' expertise, and team-based input; to work as a member of an IT team managing a larger network infrastructure and to apply the expertise and practical experience to prepare for the planning of service and operational tasks in the network infrastructure.
