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.
