Description: This course is designed to prepare a student to apply and
understand the advanced principles and applications of networking hardware. The
course covers advanced router configurations; LAN switching; network
management; and advanced network design. This is the third of a four-part
series to prepare students for the Cisco Certified Networking Associate (CCNA)
examination.
The
course content is on-line and accessible with any web browser. Students are expected to prepare for each
class by reading the assigned material from the web site; class time will
mostly be spent in review, hands-on labs, and examinations.
Objectives: The student will demonstrate a knowledge of the following
topics through objective tests, hands-on activities, and projects:
1.
List the required IPX address and encapsulation type
2.
Configure IPX access lists and SAP filters to
control basic Novell traffic
3.

bridges
10. Describe the
benefits of network segmentation with routers
11. Describe the
benefits of network segmentation with switches
12. Describe the
features and benefits of Fast Ethernet
13. Describe the
guidelines and distance limitations of Fast Ethernet
14. Distinguish
between cut-through and store-and-forward LAN switching
15. Describe the
operation of the Spanning Tree Protocol and its benefits
16. Describe the

Prerequisite: CET 1610 (Cisco Sem. II Cisco Router Technology), or
Permission of the Instructor
Facilities: The course content and all exams can be accessed from
the classroom. The course content is
available from anywhere with Internet access.
Exams
are only accessible from the classroom during scheduled exam times. You will need headphones to listen to the
videos in the classroom or Cisco lab.
Extra lab time outside of class to practice with a router may be
arranged. This class uses version 2.1 of the
course.
Curriculum: The course content is available from http://CiscoAcad.hcc.cc.fl.us/ and from http://Cisco.NetAcad.net/. (Prefer the first server if available.)
Grading: Best 6 of 7 chapter quizzes
(based on web content, not book): 30%
Labs and classroom participation (required in order to pass course): 15%
LANs Threaded Case Study (TCS) (required in order to pass course): 15%
Midterm Hands-on Exam (Required in order to pass course): 10%
Final comprehensive exam (required in order to pass course): 30%
A=90-100, B=80-89, C=70-79, D=60-69, F=0-59
Projects are graded on the
following scale:
A = 100% (Excellent)
B =
85% (Good: it works but took
awhile)
C =
75% (Acceptable: Mostly working
or took very long to complete)
D =
50% (Unacceptable: At least you
tried)
F
= 0% (Didn't do the project)
·
No make up exams will be offered without the prior
approval of the instructor.
·
All tests must be taken in the classroom. This is not an online class. If you are caught taking or trying to take a
test or quiz outside of the classroom you will receive a grade of "0"
and you will not be able to drop that as a low grade. If you are caught a second time you will receive an “F” for the
class.
·
Regular attendance is imperative for the successful
completion of this class. All phones,
pagers, and beepers must be turned off during class time, except with prior
permission of the instructor. No food
or drink is permitted in HCC classrooms.
Credit for class participation includes attendance, preparedness, and
adding to class discussions by asking questions and participating in
discussions. Playing computer games,
surfing the internet, or working on other assignments for this or other classes
during class time will lose you credit.
Attendance will be taken within 5 minutes of the start of class; after 6
absences and/or lateness, the student will lose 2 points off the final grade
for each occurrence.
·
Additional time outside of class will be required to
complete the material. For typical
students Cisco Networking Academy recommends an average of between 4 and 8
hours each week outside of class are required for preparation, practice, and
projects.
·
A project is late if not turned in by the start of
class on the day it is due. Late
projects will be accepted up to one week late only if you obtain the
instructor’s permission at least one week prior to the due date of the project,
or for a documented serious medical reason. All late projects will lose at least one
letter grade penalty regardless of the reason for the delay. Projects later than one week will receive a
grade of F (0).
·
Working together on individual assignments is considered as cheating! Cheating will result in an automatic F
(zero) for the project for all parties.
Note that some projects may be group projects, where each member of a
small group works together on a project.
·
You must follow the academic honesty policy for
HCC. A second cheating offence will
result in an “F” for the course, and your name will be turned over to the Dean
for further handling. I take these
matters very seriously. You have been
warned!
Printing: The curriculum for this class is located
online at the Cisco Networking Academy website, and at HCC’s Cisco website (CiscoAcad.hcc.cc.fl.us). Students WILL NOT print any part of
the curriculum on any HCC printer for any reason. Cisco does not want the curriculum printed out.
The tests
are taken in class – online at the Cisco test site. Tests are NEVER to be printed for any reason. Any printed tests will be considered as
cheating and turned over to the Dean.
Workbook Workbook assignments for this class
consist of the vocabulary section in each chapter of
Assignments: the workbook. To get credit
these must be done and turned in prior to the test for that chapter. You can rip pages out of the workbook, you
can copy the pages, you can type the words and definitions, or you can turn in
your workbook during the exam (and I will grade and return them to you after
the exam). If you are not in class you
can mail the assignment to me. To get
credit it must be postmarked prior to the date of the class. Do not email assignments. Send to:

Studying: To prepare for class, you must study and understand the
online curriculum. Here are some
general suggestions:
1.
Read through the online chapter once looking at all
the videos, pictures, and diagrams.
Make sure you understand the main point of the chapter.
2.
Go through the chapter again, this time taking notes
on important topics and “factoids” (e.g., A T‑1 connection operates at
1.544MBPS). This is not only testable
material in the class, but for your CCNA (and job interviews) as well. If you have any questions on what you’ve
read do not hesitate to ask your instructor.
(Visit or phone during office hours, set up an appointment at your convenience,
or send email anytime.)
3.
Take the quiz ad the end of the online chapter. (These tend to be easier than the actual
test questions.)
4.
On a different day, try the review questions at the
start of the next chapter. You can also
try the other questions in the workbook and in the textbook.
5.
When you come to class, when we review the material
you think you know, make sure your understanding is the same as what is
presented in class. When the material
you feel uncertain about is reviewed, be sure to ask questions. It is perfectly OK to ask the instructor to
slow down or pause while you write a few short notes.
