Cicso Netacad

The Applied Networking 11 Course serves as an introduction to how information is encapsulated, converted to bits and transported reliably across the Internet. Hands-on activities and simulation software are leveraged to support student learning. The Applied Networking 12 Course continues to focus on communication protocols and mastering required skills to program and troubleshoot networks. 

 

Applied Networking 11

The goal of this course is to introduce you to fundamental networking concepts and technologies to explain how information travels across the Internet. The curriculum includes embedded, highly interactive e-doing Packet Tracer activities consisting of network simulations, games and challenges that provide a broad range of learning experiences. These tools will help you develop an understanding of how data flows in a network. By the end of this course, students will be able to build simple Local Area Networks (LANs), perform basic configurations of network devices, namely routers and switches, and implement Internet Protocol (IP) addressing schemes. Students enrolled in this course will have an opportunity to work with a life-size Remote-Controlled R2D2 or the Halifax West 3D Scanner Project.

Applied Networking 12

The course focuses on switching technologies and router operations that support small-to-medium business networks and includes wireless local area networks (WLAN) and security concepts.  In addition to learning key switching and routing concepts, students will be able to perform basic network configuration and troubleshooting methods, identify and mitigate Local Area Network (LAN) security threats, and configure and secure a basic WLAN. Students enrolled in this course will have an opportunity to work with a life-size Remote-Controlled R2D2 or the Halifax West 3D Scanner Project.

A variety of technology tools will be integrated in the daily lessons to accommodate a variety of learning styles to support and promote increased knowledge retention. They include multimedia videos, game simulation, e-labs, phone apps and  

The course will prepare students with the skills needed for Network Technician, Computer Technician, Cable Installer and Help Desk Technician jobs. Students who complete this course will be able to perform the following tasks:

 

  • Configure devices using security best practices.

  • Explain how devices forward data.

  • Implement VLANs and trunking in a switched network.

  • Plan a basic wired infrastructure to support network traffic.

  • Identify and mitigate LAN security threats.

  • Configure and secure a basic wireless area network (WLAN).

  • Demonstrate proper disaster recovery procedures and perform server backups.

  • Monitor network performance and isolate failures.

  • Troubleshoot problems using an organized, layered procedure.
