Network Administration

This course provides an overview of computer hardware on a personal computer. The course focuses on the structure and function of the computer, including I/O devices, network protocols, set-up, and troubleshooting. Available microprocessor systems are also discussed. Students will be able to identify differences between I/O devices, and set up and troubleshoot hardware and networks. Lab included.

This course provides students with an in-depth explanation of the common computer configurations and operating systems. Also, they will be introduced to diagnostic software and troubleshooting techniques, including security strategies. Students will be able to diagnose, resolve, and document software issues as they relate to various devices. Lab included.

This course is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills required to install, configure, use, support, and troubleshoot the TCP/IP suite on operating systems. The course will be focused on IP addressing, IP packet structures, data link, and network layer protocols. Students will practice how to determine and use the transmission control protocols/Internet protocol. Lab included.

Pre-requisite: EEL1100

This course covers the components used to segment a LAN (local area network) including bridges, switches, and routers. The course provides a greater understanding of the access control list, routing protocols, LAN (local area network) and

WAN (wide area network) design, switching, VLAN (virtual local area network), and frame relay. Students will develop the skills required for implementing and configuring network devices. Lab included.

The goal of this course is to provide students with an introduction to networking technologies and design. They will receive training in technology standards, governing bodies, hardware, security, troubleshooting, and site survey methodology. Students will be able to assess the benefits and limitations of various cabling options, implementation of WLANs (wireless local area networks), and the use of virtual local area networks (VLANs). Lab included.

This course provides an overview of the system security issues. The course will be focused on security methods including encryption, authentication, key generation, auditing, monitoring, and risk evaluation. Confidentiality/privacy, integrity, availability, and control of fraudulent usage of networks are also discussed. Students will be able to secure equipment configuration and placement within the different types of network. Lab included.

In this course, students will study all the functions and features of installing, configuring, and maintaining operating systems. In-depth details are presented on implementing, managing, and troubleshooting hardware devices and drivers, network protocols, and security, monitoring and optimizing performance and reliability, and configuring and troubleshooting the desktop environment. Students will implement, manage, and troubleshoot storage, display, and peripheral devices. Lab included.

This course prepares students to properly install, configure, and administrate a server of a domain in an active directory environment. The course will be focused on installing the server, local and remote server management, configure the server storage and file and printers’ services. Students will be able to deploy and configure core network services and install and administer an active directory. They will also be able to configure specific DHS (dynamic host configuration). Lab included.

Prerequisite: PRG2100

This course prepares students to properly install, configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the fundamental elements that allow for interoperability in a Windows-based LAN (local area network). The course will be focused on deploying the windows server, updates management, monitoring and auditing the server, remote access configuration, domain controller, and active directory, including subscriptions and licenses. Students will be able to deploy, manage, and maintain servers. Lab included.

Prerequisite: PRG2110
