Overview

Internetworking, particularly the concept of routing, is a fundamental building block of networks of all scales, from the home, through the enterprise, to the internet itself. Understanding network addressing, routing and the operation of underlying network services is crucial for someone embarking on a career in network administration or network engineering. This course is foundational for more advanced network concepts. Though the industry certification is not formally part of this course, students undertaking this course will cover concepts and techniques which are consistent with the first part of the Cisco CCNA industry certification, should they wish to pursue it separately.

The course provides students with the required knowledge and skill sets relating to routers and routing, the fundamental building block of enterprise networking. Practical skills introduced include designing IP addressing schemes, TCP/IP Internetworking, implementing routed networks and programming and managing router infrastructure. Issues surrounding ethics for network administrators are discussed, and different roles within network operations teams are introduced.

Course learning outcomes

  1. Describe the nature and roles of protocols and services at the various layers of the network reference models;
  2. List out networking standards, standards bodies, and frameworks;
  3. Confidently utilise the knowledge from the course to implement routed networks by programming and managing routers;
  4. Apply the concepts of network addressing and subnetting to develop network addressing schemes for given business requirements;
  5. Relate roles in network teams to the ACS Code of Ethics;
  6. Recognise workflows and network team-based collaboration and how the network team interrelates with other areas of information technology, such as application development, IT management and others.
