The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the principles of computer networks, students will gain basic knowledge and skills in addressing, protocols, services, network devices and network security. For practical training, the equipment of the CNA laboratory (Cisco Networking Academy) is used and students complete a basic CCNA e-learning course within the subject, ending with obtaining a certificate. 1. Introduction to the subject, organization of teaching. Methodology of work in CNA courses. Computer networks, networks and their division, LAN and WAN, PAN, MAN. E-learning: The concept of a converged network. LAN to WAN devices and topologies. 2. LAN networks. Principles, technology. Introduction to the environment and possibilities of Packet Tracer. E-learning / Lab: Introduction to Cisco IOS. Structures and syntax of IOS commands, basics of configuration. PC settings, verification of connectivity between two end devices. 3. Physical layer components and devices, collisions and collision domains in shared environments, network topology. E-learning / laboratory: Use of protocol sets. TCP / IP and ISO / OSI model, RFC.

Learning outcomes
|
The course introduces fundamental concepts of the computer communication networks and their protocols. An emphasis will be placed on the layered network architectures, TCP/IP protocols and Ethernet technology. Students have an opportunity to gain the essential skills in the CNA (Cisco Networking Academy) lab, and students take a CCNA e-learning course at the same time.
The student is able to set up a computer to work in a network, can design a small network and set the necessary parameters, has a basic knowledge of network protocols and security principles. Graduate Course Computer Networks acquires internationally recognized certificates of completion of Cisco Networking Academy.

Assessment methods and criteria
|
Home assignment evaluation, Didactic test
The condition for granting the credit is that the student participated in the teaching to the required extent and that he met the requirements: especially active work on laboratory exercises, passing continuous tests and the final test of e-learning. The detailed conditions for granting the credit are determined by the teacher in the first week of the lecture period of the semester, for full-time and part-time form of study, in accordance with the UP Study and Examination Regulations. More up-to-date information will be provided in a document that will be available in IS STAG.
