Weber State UniversityNTM 2435 – Cisco Advanced LAN & WAN Switching & RoutingCisco Networking Academy – Semesters 3 & 4Summer 2014 OnlineLocation:Building 3, Room 338Instructor:Ken CuddebackPhone:Office: 626-6026,Email:kcuddeback@weber.edu Description:To instruct students about Cisco-supported networking technologies and to help them understand how to design and build networks and to configure Cisco routers and switches, by use of hands-on labs utilizing actual hardware and simulation software.Learning Outcomes:Students who complete LAN Switching and Wireless will be able to perform the following functions:Identify and correct common network problems at layers 1, 2, 3, and 7 using a layered model approachInterpret network diagramsSelect the appropriate media, cables, ports, and connectors to connect switches to other network devices and hostsExplain the technology and media access control method for Ethernet networksExplain basic switching concepts and the operation of Cisco switchesPerform and verify initial switch configuration tasks including remote access managementDescribe enhanced switching technologies such as VLANs, VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP), Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), Per VLAN Spanning Tree Protocol (PVSTP), and 802.1qDescribe how VLANs create logically separate networks and how routing occurs between themConfigure, verify, and troubleshoot VLANs, trunking on Cisco switches, interVLAN routing, VTP, and RSTPInterpret the output of various show and debug commands to verify the operational status of a Cisco switched networkVerify network status and switch operation using basic utilities such as ping, traceroute, Telnet, Secure Shell (SSH), Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), and ipconfig, as well as the show and debug commands.Identify, prescribe, and resolve common switched network media issues, configuration issues, autonegotiation, and switch hardware failuresManage Cisco IOS? SoftwareManage Cisco IOS configuration files (save, edit, upgrade, and restore)Describe standards associated with wireless media, such as IEEE WI-FI Alliance and ITU/FCCIdentify and describe the purpose of the components in a small wireless network, such as Service Set Identification (SSID), Basic Service Set (BSS), and Extended Service Set (ESS)Identify basic configuration parameters on a wireless network to ensure that devices connect to the correct access pointsCompare and contrast Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) security features and capabilities of open, Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), and WPA-1/2 networksDescribe common wireless-network implementation issues such as interference and misconfigurationStudents who complete Accessing the WAN will be able to perform the following functions:Describe the impact of Voice Over IP and Video Over IP applications on a networkIdentify and correct common network problems at layers 1, 2, 3, and 7 using a layered model approachInterpret network diagramsDescribe the components required for network and Internet communicationsImplement basic switch security measures such as port security, trunk access, and management VLANsExplain the operation and benefits of DHCP and DNSConfigure, verify, and troubleshoot DHCP and DNS operations on a routerDescribe current network security threats and explain how to implement a comprehensive security policy to mitigate common threats to network devices, hosts, and applicationsDescribe the functions of common security appliances and applicationsDescribe recommended security practices to secure network devicesDescribe the purpose and types of access control lists (ACLs)Configure and apply ACLs based on network filtering requirementsConfigure and apply an ACLs to limit Telnet and SSH access to the router using the Security Device Manager command-line interface (SDM/CLI)Verify, monitor, and troubleshoot ACLs in a network environmentExplain the basic operation of Network Address Translation (NAT)Configure NAT for given network requirements using SDM/CLITroubleshoot NAT issuesDescribe different methods for connecting to a WANConfigure and verify a basic WAN serial connectionConfigure and verify a Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) connection between Cisco routersConfigure and verify Frame Relay on Cisco routersTroubleshoot WAN implementation issuesDescribe the importance, benefits, role, impact, and components of VPN technologyBooks: First half of semester:Scaling Networks Companion Guide, Cisco Press, ISBN: 9781587133282, eBook: 9780133476521.Second half of semester:Connecting Networks Companion Guide, Cisco Press, ISBN: 9781587133329, eBook: 9780133476521.Week of:Chapter/ModuleMay 5, 2014Chapter 1 – Introduction to Scaling NetworksMay 12Chapter 2/3 – LAN Redundancy/Link AggregationMay 19Chapter 4 – Wireless LANsMay 26Chapter 5 – Adjust and Troubleshoot Single-Area OSPFJun 2Chapter 6/7 – Multiarea OSPF/ EIGRPJun 9Chapter 8- EIGRP Advanced Configuration and TroubleshootingJun 16Chapter 9 – IOS Images and LicensingJun 16In-Class Mid-Term Exam (Semester 3 Final), sometime this week, make an appointment with instructor.Jun 23Chapter 1/2 – Hierarchical Network Design/ Connecting to the WANJun 30Chapter 3 – Point-to-Point ProtocolJul 7Chapter 4 – Frame RelayJul 14Chapter 5 – Network Address Translation for IPv4Jul 21Chapter 6 – Broadband SolutionsJul 28Chapter 7 - Securing Site-to-Site ConnectivityAug 4Chapter 8 - Monitoring the NetworkAug 11Chapter 9 - Troubleshooting the NetworkAug 11-13 Finals week - In Class Final (Semester 4 Final), sometime this week, make an appointment with instructor.
