Course Description:
This course continues to provide students with classroom and laboratory experience in current
and emerging networking technology that will empower them to enter employment or further
education and training in the computer-networking field. A task analysis of current industry
standards and occupational analysis was used to develop the content. Instruction includes, but is
not limited to, the Open System Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model, local area networks
(LANs), wide area networks (WANs), transmission control protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP)
addressing, routers, router configuration, routing and routing protocols, internet work open
system (IOS) images and network troubleshooting. Particular emphasis is given to understanding
the nature of and component of networks that make up LANs, WANs and the Internet. Students
will become familiar with the use of command protocols that are used when configuring
networks and will learn how to troubleshoot a router-based topology.

Course Outcomes:
Upon completion of this course the student should be able to demonstrate (the):
• Working knowledge of router elements (RAM, ROM, CDP, Show commands).
• Working knowledge of RIP, EIGRP, and OSPF.
• Ability to subnet Class B and C networks.
• Ability to apply VLSM principles in an IP addressing scheme.
• Ability to distinguish between common router prompts.
• Ability to describe connection-oriented and connectionless network services.
• Ability to connect a series of routers into WAN and connect attached LANs.
• Ability to configure a router including interfaces, routing protocols, host tables, console,
and virtual terminal sessions.
• Ability to edit router configuration and view command history.
• Ability to manage and troubleshoot router configuration using various show commands.
• Ability to prepare backup, upgrade, and load backup software image.
Required Text:
Routing Protocols and Concepts – CCNA Exploration Companion Guide and Lab Manual,
Cisco Press, 2008. This is a text book and lab manual bundle (two books). Special pricing is
available at the book store. Both books are required for this class.

Lab Grading Rubric:

Labs are to be completed in a professional manner. Network administrators must learn to write
neatly and succinctly so that steps can be repeated and/or understood by others. Some
governing bodies require documentation for auditing purposes. Labs will be graded as
follows:

Poor (0% – 60%): Lab is not completed at all or work is almost non-existent. Lab was turned in
late.
Marginally acceptable (61% - 69%): Lab is somewhat completed but writing is difficult to read
with illegible writing and/or incomplete thoughts/sentences. Lab manual work looks
sloppy and lab was turned in late.
Acceptable (70% - 79%): Lab is mostly complete with incomplete sentences and/or mostly
legible writing. Lab was turned in on time.
Better than average (80% - 89%): Lab is complete with legible, professional writing. Some
sentences are incomplete. Lab manual is not scribbled in, but may have notes in
margins. Lab was turned in on time.
Excellent (90% - 100%): Lab is complete with excellent writing, thoughts, and sentences. Lab
manual has professional look and is a testament to a solid future network administrator.
Lab was turned in on time.

Grading:
Traditional percentage grades (90% for an A, 80% for a B, etc) will be assigned based on the
assignments listed in this document.

Study Guides: 11 each x 25 pts/each = 275 points

Labs: 19 (regular) labs x 20 pts/each = 380 points
8 (challenge/integrated) labs x 45 pts/each = 360 points
Weekly online quizzes: 11 quizzes x 20 pts/each = 220 points
Skills exam: 200 points
Final exam: 200 points
Total points possible: 1,775

Labs are due the second Friday after they were assigned. For example, labs for Chapters 1 are
assigned on Monday, September 29th. These labs are due on or before Friday October 10th,
before end of day.

Exception: The Chapter 1 study guide is due this Friday ( October 2nd) by 4:30pm.

Important note: All labs are due no later than Friday, December 4th, by end of day. This
means that you will only have one week in which to complete your week 10 labs (those for
Chapter 11).
Student Notice
Assignments and projects are due on the dates indicated in the course outline above. Any
assignment turned in late gets an automatic 10% late fee deduction. No homework
will be accepted more than two days late and no work will be accepted after our
final class meeting on Friday, December 5th. Further, no homework will be
accepted for grading after graded homework has been returned to students.
Arrangements for making up tests must be made prior to missing a test. Specific
instructions on assignments and projects will be revealed in class. Each student is
expected to complete each assignment independently unless assigned to group work.
All students caught lacking in academic integrity will receive a zero (0) for the
assignment. Repeated violations of academic integrity may result in being dropped
from the course and/or the UCC.

Cell phones are to be put into silent or vibrate mode during regular lecture and lab class hours.
In other words, cell phones should not ring during class or lab time. Further, during
any quiz or exam, cell phones must be turned off or placed in a location that cannot
be accessed during the quiz or exam. Cell phones may not be used (voice, data, or
camera) during any quiz or exam.

Any student who feels he or she may need an accommodation for any type
of disability, please make an appointment to see me during office hours or
contact Disability Services in the Counseling Center."

See the next page for the course schedule. Note

that this schedule and its assignments may be
changed at the instructor’s discretion due to class
dynamics. You are expected to attend keep in
regular contact with your instructor so that you
are aware of any changes. Failure to do so will not
extend homework due dates.
