iv. OBJECTIVES
- Review
Semester I, II, III, & IV; Explain, in detail, data communications in
routed and switched TCP/IP Internetworks.
Build, configure, and troubleshoot TCP/IP LANS and WANS, which includes PC
workstations, routers, switches, and all necessary cabling.
- Define
Variable Length Subnet Masking (VLSM). Divide a major network into
subnets of different sizes using VLSM and route aggregation, summarization,
and optimization. Configure a router using VLSM and route
optimization.
- Identify
the key features of multi-area OSPF, EIGRP, and IS-IS. Configure a router
using each of these interior gateway protocols.
- Identify
the key features of BGP. Configure a router using this exterior gateway
protocol.
- Identify the
applications that utilize multicast technology and the benefits multicast
provides to the user of the applications. Configure a router using
different modes of IP Multicasting.
- Describe the
concepts of IPv6, IPv6 addressing and routing, OSPFv3, and IPv4
to IPv6 translation. Configure a router to operate OSPF with IPv6, manual
IPv6 tunnels, and IPv6 to IPv4 tunnels

VI. Attendance
The
Self-paced open entry-open exit program requires students to complete a minimum
of 80 hours to meet academic standards. The 80 hours are divided into a
minimum of 48 classroom hours and 32 hours of self study using online
resources. Self-paced education places additional responsibility on the student
for success. Irregular attendance and lack of participation are key factors in
determining poor student performance. The greater the amount of
time and effort applied by the student, the greater the opportunity for
success, rapid advancement of knowledge, and advancement through the program.
Students will be expected to manage their attendance with the goal of
completing at least one Cisco Semester during a Cuyamaca College Semester.
Higher goals of completion are very possible and will be supported. If
you have questions about recommended progress rates, please ask the instructor
for guidance.
VI. Dropping the Class
It is the STUDENT’S responsibility to
complete the necessary forms to withdraw from the class. All students that are
enrolled at the end of the semester must be given a grade. Students who drop
but don’t officially withdraw will receive an F.
VII. Assignments
