COURSE NO. CSN 207  TITLE  WAN Technologies

CREDIT HOURS  3    CONTACT HOURS  100

 

FULL CATALOG DESCRIPTION:

This course will introduce students to several of the technologies that underlie the planning and implementation of wide area networks. Technologies such as frame-relay, ISDN, and X.25 will be explored and compared as they relate to the implementation of corporate wide area networks. Students will also have the opportunity to simulate the actual deployment of the above technologies through the interconnection of routers in hands-on laboratories.
Prerequisites: CSN 206.

COURSE OBJECTIVES / STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES:

 

At the conclusion of this course, students will be able to demonstrate each of the following skills through computer projects or tests:

 

1.                   Identify Scaling IP Addresses as demonstrated per 85% competence on a test and a lab.

2.                   Identify WAN Technologies per 85% competence on a test and a lab.
