Course Description.

Prerequisite: CSCO 120. Cisco Networking Academies II is part of the CCNA curriculum. This course describes the architecture, components, and operation of routers, and explains the principles of routing and routing protocols. Students analyze, configure, verify, and troubleshoot the primary routing protocols RIPv1, RIPv2, EIGRP, and OSPF.

Successful students will be able to:

·  Describe the purpose, nature, and operations of a router

·  Explain the critical role routers play in enabling communications across multiple networks

·  Describe the purpose and nature of routing tables

·  Describe how a router determines a path and switches packets

·  Explain the route lookup process and determine the path packets will take in the network.

·  Configure and verify basic router operation for a newly installed router

·  Describe the purpose and procedure for configuring static routes

·  Configure and verify static and default routing.

·  Describe the role of dynamic routing protocols and place these protocols in the context of modern network design

·  Describe how metrics are used by routing protocols and identify the metric types used by dynamic routing protocols

·  Identify the characteristics of distance vector routing protocols

·  Describe the network discovery process of distance vector routing protocols using Routing Information Protocol (RIP)

·  Describe the functions, characteristics, and operations of the RIPv1 protocol

·  Compare and contrast classful and classless IP addressing

·  Describe classful and classless routing behaviors in routed networks

·  Design and implement a classless IP addressing scheme for a given network

·  Describe the main features and operations of the Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)

·  Use advanced configuration commands with routers implementing EIGRP and OSPF

·  Describe the basis features and concepts of link-state routing protocols

·  Describe the purpose, nature, and operations of the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Protocol

·  Configure and verify basic RIPv1, RIPv2, single area OSPF, and EIGRP operations in a small routed network.

·  Use router show and debug commands to troubleshoot common errors that occur in small routed networks.

Grading Policy

Final grades are determined through a weighted average of midterm and final examinations, quizzes, laboratory assignments, homework assignments, class participation, and attendance. Your final grade in the course will be based on the following:

Class attendance and participation 20%

Homework assignments 10%

Laboratory Work 10%

Assessments 20%

Skills Exam 20%

Final examination 20%

100%

After your numerical grade has been calculated, your letter grade will be determined as follows:

A 90–100% of the total percentage points possible

B 80–89% of the total percentage points possible

C 70–79% of the total percentage points possible

D 60–69% of the total percentage points possible

F less than 60% of the total percentage points possible

Classroom Protocols, Policies and Procedures

Assignments: This is not Taco Bell! Yes, you did pay for this class but there is an expectation on my part that you will take an active role in acquiring and absorbing the information under discussion. Information will not simply fall into your head. Assignments for this class will be reading and studying of class text material in preparation for classroom discussions. Students are required to read course material prior to coming to class. Handouts and study questions will be provided for additional direction on study. These handouts should be completed by the student and brought to class to aid in classroom discussion. Questions regarding the text material and the handout should be brought up during discussion and corrections/clarifications made to the handouts prior to the handouts being submitted to the instructor.

Attendance: This is a very fast-paced, information rich class. It is recommended that you attend every class meeting. You are responsible for all work missed due to absences. Following three (3) unexcused absences your grade may be lowered by the instructor.

Academic Dishonesty: I have a zero tolerance policy for any form of cheating. In today’s wired environment it is getting increasingly easy to find information pertaining to any subject. If it is determined that a student is attempting to cheat in any way or form recognized by the UCCSN or WNC disciplinary codes of conduct they will be recommended to the Dean of Instruction for disciplinary action.

Technology Use: It is extremely rude to use cell phones to receive calls or text during class. If you must take a call during class (and I do understand the need!) please leave the room for the duration of the call. Please leave Ipod listening and texting outside of class.

College Emergency: It is the policy of the college that during emergency situations classrooms and students will be put in lockdown. WNC students are assumed to be adults and cannot therefore be forced into a lockdown situation. Students not willing to participate in a lockdown may leave prior to the lockdown being instituted. However students will abide by the policy of the school and remain in lockdown if they forego their opportunity to leave prior to the lockdown being instituted.
