Course Description
CIS 4370 introduces you to networking basics. The days of “network appreciation” courses are no longer here. Employers want students to know quite a lot, In job interviews employers may show a building and ask them how Ethernet LAN and 802.11 Wi-Fi can be used to connect the building, In addition, they may want students to know about standards, link aggregation, IPV6 and SDN, Ethernet busses and hubs. Knowledge of Security is also required. Theoretical knowledge alone is not enough, Students need hands-on experience. This course will introduce students all these aspects of networking. The course gives students a systematic approach to Networking.
Course Objectives
Upon completion of the course students will be able to understand.
1. Networking fundamentals with applications in modern business;
2. the technologies/products underlying modern communication networking systems such as those based on latest version of Windows;

4. the terminologies used in communication networking;
5. the issues involved in designing and implementing an organization’s networking systems.
6. why hands-on exercises are important in networking
