Introduction
Welcome to my NET150 wiki! This page contains my labs and documentation from Champlain College's NET150: Network Fundamentals class.
Course Description
From the syllabus: "This course introduces the student to the concepts and terminology of data communications. The course highlights the history and evolution of voice and data communications technologies. Specific emphasis is placed on the role of standards organizations in this evolution. The course examines such topics as telephony and subsystems, analog and digital signaling, network protocols and topologies, the OSI model, the TCP/IP protocol suite, high-speed LAN/WAN topologies, remote access, bridging and routing, network troubleshooting, network design considerations, the evolution and future of Ethernet, emerging technologies for both business and residential use, and information security considerations."
Course Objectives
- Explain and identify the role of standards and standards organizations in the data communications market place
- Discuss the structure and components of data networks
- Describe the history and structure OSI and TCP/IP protocol models; identify the major functions of each layer and its use in the communications process
- Describe the operation of common Local Area and Wide Area network protocols
- Knowledge of media, topologies, hub/switches, routers, and network interfaces
- Identify and contrast technology resources and use in elements of network design
- Discuss the structure and operation of the Internet and its importance to communication today
- Identify technical and management concerns and potential solutions for bandwidth constraints, storage resources, security, while balancing business concerns
- Understand the security aspects of data communications and implications in implementing and managing communications resources
- Explain the role of network clients, servers, operating systems, network services, IT management roles, and associated security issues
