- Advanced Networking I (INFR 2411U)
This course teaches students how to implement, monitor and maintain routing services in an enterprise network. Students will learn how to plan, configure, and verify the implementation of complex enterprise LAN and WAN routing solutions, using a range of routing protocols in IPv4 and IPv6 environments. The course also covers the configuration of secure routing solutions to support branch offices and mobile workers. Comprehensive labs emphasise hands-on learning and practice to reinforce configuration skills. - Advanced Networking II (INFR 2421U)
This course teaches students how to implement, monitor and maintain switching in converged enterprise campus networks. Students will learn how to plan, configure and verify the implementation of complex enterprise switching solutions. The course also covers the secure integration of VLANs, WLANs, voice, and video into campus networks. Comprehensive labs emphasise hands-on learning and practice to reinforce configuration skills. - Advanced Networking III (INFR 2431U)
This course teaches students how to monitor and maintain complex, enterprise routed and switched IP networks. The scope of the course is focused on planning and execution of regular network maintenance, as well as support and troubleshooting using technology-based processes and best practices, in a systematic approach. Extensive labs emphasise hands-on learning and practice to reinforce troubleshooting techniques. - System and Network Administration (INFR 3850U)
