Description

This course describes the architecture, components, and operations of routers and switches in a small network.  Students learn how to configure a router and a switch for basic functionality.  By the end of this course, students will be able to configure and troubleshoot routers and switches and resolve common issues with virtual LANs and interVLAN routing in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;

1.

Explain, configure and troubleshoot routers to make forwarding decisions using static routing, RIP, OSPF and EIGRP

2.

Explain, configure and troubleshoot a switched network in a small to medium sized business

3.

Explain, configure and troubleshoot basic access control lists in a small to medium sized business

4.

Explain, configure and troubleshoot NAT/PAT and DHCP in a small to medium business

Teaching and Learning Strategies

Simulation-based learning activities promote the exploration of networking concepts and allow students to experiment with network behaviour.

Hands-on labs help students develop critical thinking and complex problem solving skills.

Module Assessment Strategies

Formative assessment - 10 CCNA Routing and Switching quizes held on a weekely basis worth 50%. Students will be allowed to choose their best 8/10 quizes.

A summative practical exam on packet tracer to test the students ability to configure and troubleshoot routing and switching concepts to meet the CCNA Routing and Switching requirements, this will be worth 50% CA.

 

Repeat Assessments

Repeat exam and/or practical to examine the learning outcomes that have not been achieved.

Indicative Syllabus

Routing Concepts

  • Configure a router to route between multiple directlyconnected networks.
  • Explain how routers use information in data packets to make forwarding decisions in a small to mediumsized business network.
  • Explain how a router learns about remote networks when operating in a small to medium-sized business network.

Static Routing

  • Implement Static Routes Explain how static routes are implemented in a small to medium-sized business network.
  • Configure Static and Default Routes Configure static routes to enable connectivity in a small to medium-sized business network.
  • Troubleshoot Static and Default Routes Troubleshoot static and default route configurations.

 Dynamic Routing

  • Explain the function of dynamic routing protocols.
  • Implement RIPv2.
  • Determine the route source, administrative distance, and metric for a given route. 

Switched Networks

  • Explain how switched networks support small to medium-sized businesses.
  • Explain how Layer 2 switches forward data in a small to medium-sized LAN.
  • Basic Switch Configuration Configure basic switch settings to meet network requirements.
  • Configure a switch using security best practices in a small to medium-sized business network. 

 VLANs

  • Explain how VLANs segment broadcast domains in a small to medium-sized business network.
  • Implement VLANs to segment a small to mediumsized business network.
  • Configure routing between VLANs in a small to medium-sized business network.

 Access Control Lists

  • Explain the purpose and operation of ACLs in small to medium-sized business networks.
  • Configure standard IPv4 ACLs to filter traffic in a small to medium-sized business network.
  • Troubleshoot ACLs Troubleshoot IPv4 ACL issues.

 DHCP

  • Implement DHCPv4 to operate across multiple LANs in a small to medium-sized business network.
  • Implement DHCPv6 to operate across multiple LANs in a small to medium-sized business network.

 NAT for IPv4

  • Explain how NAT provides IPv4 address scalability in a small to medium-sized business network.
  • Configure NAT services on the edge router to provide IPv4 address scalability in a small to medium-sized business network.
  • Troubleshoot NAT issues in a small to medium-sized business network.

Device Discovery, Management, and Maintenance

  • Device Discovery Use discovery protocols to map a network topology.
  • Configure NTP and Syslog in a small to medium-sized business network
  • Maintain router and switch configuration and IOS files.
