CISS 216 CISCO Networking 2*
This course describes the architecture, components, and operations of routers and switches in a small network. Students learn how to configure a router and a switch for basic functionality. By the end of this course, students will be able to configure and troubleshoot routers and switches, and resolve common issues with RIPv1, RIPv2, single-area and multi-area OSPF, virtual LANs, and inter-VLAN routing in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks

IV. Student Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, a student will be able to:
- Understand and describe basic switching concepts and the operation of Cisco switches
- Understand and describe enhanced switching technologies such as VLANs, VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP), Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), Per VLAN Spanning Tree Protocol (PVSTP), and 802.1q
- Configure and troubleshoot basic operations of a small switched network
- Understand and describe the purpose, nature, and operations of a router, routing tables, and the route lookup process
- Configure and verify static routing and default routing
- Understand and describe how VLANs create logically separate networks and how routing occurs between them
- Understand and describe dynamic routing protocols, distance vector routing protocols, and link state routing protocols
- Configure and troubleshoot basic operations of routers in a small routed network:
- Routing Information Protocol (RIPv1 and RIPv2)
- Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol (single area OSPF)
- Configure and troubleshoot VLANs and inter VLAN routing
- Understand and describe the purpose and types of access control lists (ACLs)
- Configure, monitor, and troubleshoot ACLs for IPv4 and IPv6
- Understand and describe the operations and benefits of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS) for IPv4 and IPv6
- Understand and describe the operations and benefits of Network Address Translation (NAT)
- Configure and troubleshoot NAT operations
