COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Introduction to network routing and router configuration. Includes routing protocols, Cisco IOS commands and operation, and network design using routers. Second of four courses to prepare students to pass the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification examination. Prerequisite: CNT140. Two lecture. Three lab.

COURSE CONTENT:
1. Routing and packet forwarding
2. Static routing
3. Dynamic routing protocols
4. Distance vector routing protocols
5. Routing Information Protocol (RIP) version 1
6. Variable Length Subnet Masks (VLSM) and Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR)
7. RIP version 2
8. The routing table
9. Enhance Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)
10. Link-state routing protocols
11. Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

2. Define the function and implementation of static routing. (2)
3. Categorize and compare various routing protocols. (3)
4. Identify the attributes of distance vector routing protocols. (4)
5. Configure an internetwork with routers using RIP version 1. (5)
6. Configure classless routing using variable length subnet masks. (6)
7. Compare and contrast the function and configuration of RIP version 1 and version 2. (7)
8. Examine how a router uses its routing table to perform packet switching. (8)
9. Configure a router for EIGRP operation and verify its operation. (9)
10. Recognize the attributes of link-state routing protocols. (10)
11. Configure and analyze OSPF and describe its operation as a link-state routing protocol. (11)
