CNSA 166: Internetworking Device and Concepts (3 Credits)
IP packet routing is how the Internet delivers information to computers attached to the Internet. IP packet routing is also how most organizations move data within their private enterprise network. Cisco routers are the industry-leading IP routers, and this course will provide the student with specific knowledge of the Cisco command line interface and Cisco IOS (Internetwork Operating System).
It is in this course that students will learn how to configure Cisco routers to perform IP routing and IP security. Routing protocols—the languages that routers use to speak to each other—are covered in detail and include RIP, RIP2, IGRP, EIGRP and OSPF. Security through the use of standard and extended access lists is covered. Also included in this course is detail on how to connect unregistered IP subnets to the Internet using Network and Port Address translation. This course can be used as preparation for industry certification exams COMPTIA Network+ and Cisco’s CCNA exam though it is not an official exam preparation course. Prerequisite: CNSA 161
