CIS 101 NETWORK FUNDAMENTALS
Fall
This course introduces the seven layers of the OSI networking model and
relates network hardware components and networking protocols to the proper
layer of the OSI model. Logical network addressing schemes will be covered
using IP class addresses and subnetting of IP network address for organization
of a network. This course will include lecture, computer assisted-learning
with CISCO online curriculum and hands-on lab work.
Credit: 3 hours- Three lecture hours per week.
Prerequisite(s): None
CIS 102 ROUTING THEORY
Fall
This course introduces the methods of configuring CISCO routers for proper
utilization within a network or an internetwork. Students will manu all y
configure as well as update configuration of CISCO routers through transfer
of text-edited files. Proper encapsulation of transmission lines and routing
protocols will be implemented in the router configurations. This course will
include lecture, computer assisted-learning with CISCO online curriculum
and hands-on lab work.
Credit: 3 hours- Three lecture hours per week.
Prerequisite(s): Networking Fundamentals – CIS 101
CIS 199 NETWORK INTERNSHIP
Fall /Spring/Summer
This course is designed to provide employment experience in a position
that will utilize the specialized skills of the student enrolled in the Computer
and Network Specialist program. Each student is required to complete 150
contact hours at an approved worksite during the semester.
Credit: 2 hours - Ten lab hours per week.
Prerequisite(s): Career Development-INT 111 and instructors approval
CIS 201 LAN SWITCHING
Spring
This course introduces the concepts of CISCO switch settings and configuration
of the switch to all ow for easier maintenance and security of a network.
LANs within a switch or between switches will be created during hands-on
labs. Also, students will compile ACLs on router ports to build a hardware
firew all for securing the functions of the TCP/IP protocol suite to specified
hosts or subnetworks on the internetwork. This course will include lecture,
computer assisted-learning with CISCO online curriculum and hands-on lab
work.
Credit: 3 hours- Three lecture hours per week.
Prerequisite(s): Routing Theory – CIS 102
CIS 202 ADVANCED PROJECTS
Spring
This course applies the fundamentals of LAN and WAN configuration while
implementing various routing and routed protocols. NetWare’s IPX routed
protocol along with the IP routed protocol is implemented on router ports
with dividing ports into sub-ports. Students will complete a Case Study for
a California School District proposing a LAN/WAN setup to meet CISCO guidelines.
The web-based project will be submitted through ftp to the CISCO site. This
course will include lecture, computer assisted-learning with CISCO online
curriculum and hands-on lab work.
Credit: 3 hours- Three lecture hours per week.
Prerequisite(s): LAN Switching – CIS201
