Unit description

Gives students an in-depth understanding of network routing and Wide Area Network (WAN) technologies. Students will gain knowledge and skills by analysing major Internet Protocol (IP) routing and link protocols, prototyping and configuring IP routing in an industry standard simulation environment. Students will also learn to troubleshoot typical IP routing issues.  

Unit content

Topic 1: Contemporary WAN technologies

Topic 2: WAN link technologies and protocols

Topic 3: Internet routing protocols

Topic 4: Prototype and configure networks with IP routing

Topic 5: Troubleshoot IP routing

Topic 6: Implement high performance and high redundancy IP routing

 

Learning outcomes

Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.

On completion of this unit, students should be able to:
1compare and contrast major WAN technologies
2analyse and evaluate major link and IP routing protocols
3prototype and configure IP routing in a simulation environment
4implement the high performance and high redundancy objective in IP routing
5develop plan to troubleshoot common IP routing issues.
