CSEC322 Switching and Routing
An examination of network protocols for creating and managing a switched network. Topics will include Ethernet LANs, Virtual LANs, VLAN trunking, network and link layer addressing, subnetting, DHCP, access control lists, NAT and introduction to routing. Prerequisite: CSEC 321.
Learning Outcomes
- Design a basic network architecture given a specific need and set of nodes.
- Describe networking protocols including ARP, IP, ICMP, IGMP, DNS, DHCP, TCP/IP, UDP, etc. for creating and managing a switched network. Explain routing algorithms and protocols.Â
- Practice classful and classless subnetting, Network Address Translation (NAT), VLAN trunking, and link layer addressing.Â
- Track and identify the packets involved in a simple TCP connection. Trace network connections.Â
- Perform network mapping, enumeration, and identification of network components using Nmap.Â
- Perform vulnerability scanning and describe common network vulnerabilities.
- Identify Layer 2/Layer 3 security concerns and suggest mitigations.
- Discuss wireless security issues and potential solutions
