CIS 152 Routing and Switching

Lecture Hours: 4
Credits: 4

Introduces routing and switching technologies, including configuring a switch, a router, and connecting to a WAN and implementing network security. Focus is placed on routing and switching theory including RIP, IGRP, and OSPF routing protocols, distance vector and link state routing theory, routing loop issues and basic router and switch IOS concepts. Includes theory concepts directed towards the OSI model of encapsulation, TCP/IP basics, IP addressing, access lists and router and switch configurations. Demonstrate experience configuring common routers and switches. Builds a student’s ability to use common networking devices and prepares them for the following industry certification exams: the current TestOut Switching and TestOut Routing industry exams.

Prerequisite: CIS 278 with a grade of C or better; or consent of instructor.
Student Learning Outcomes:
