Learning outcomes
The course extends the courses Computer Networks I to IV. It is a part of the Bachelor degree program of the study Application of IT in transportation. The course is focused on designing and implementation of secure computer networks. It is continuation of the series of courses Computer networks I to IV. The aim is to deepen students' knowledge in the area of computer networks and gradually lead them up to the professional level, appropriate to the CCNA qualification (Cisco Certified Networking Associate). Emphasis is given on using the most advanced equipment and technologies and practical excersise in the laboratory. The course is a combination of classic lectures provided in Czech language and e-learning courses CNA (Cisco Networking Academy), provided in English. Students gain both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the field of network security. Additionally they acquire the necessary language skills, enabling further professional education.
Students gain both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the field, enabling working on the relevant position (network administration, network installation, network security). Furthermore students acquire necessary language skills, enabling further education in the field of network security.
Prerequisites
As the course extends the previous courses CCNA, it is necessary that the student has completed the course Computer Networks I - IV, or can prove that he/she has finished the course CCNA1-4 elsewhere.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Didactic test, Systematic monitoring

In this course may enroll only students, who have already completed the course Computer Networks I-IV For practical training, it is lab equipment CNA (Cisco Networking Academy) used , where students take e-learning course CCNA security (in English). The condition for the granting of credit is successful completion of the course CCNA security abd credit is for solving practical tasks on seminars. These are counted also during exam.
