Engineering in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence

GENERAL The aim of the course is to provide a practical approach about the management of IP networks. The course will allow students to critically evaluate the main network protocols studied in previous courses (IP addressing, routing protocols, Ethernet, etc…) and it will describe advanced network solutions (NAT, Virtual LAN, Access Control List, etc…). A network emulator will be used to configure an IP network like in a real scenario, so that to implement the protocols studied; moreover, specific troubleshooting procedures will be described and tested. SPECIFIC • Knowledge and understanding: to know the main network protocols used in an IP network. • Applying knowledge and understanding: to configure an IP network by means of a network emulator providing a configuration interface for IP routers and Ethernet switches. • Making judgements: to carry out network design solutions as a function of specific network requirements. • Communication skills: (none). • Learning skills: ability to continue successive studies concerning with advanced networking.
