Description

The Routing and Switching Essentials course describes the architecture, components, and
operations of routers and switches in a small network. Students learn how to configure a
router and a switch for basic functionality.

Learning Objectives

Students will get deeper understanding, in continuation to previous introductory courses, into how
network connectivity is made possible through intermediary network elements, namely the
routers and switches, and their main functionalities at the theoretical plane. Basic network
security and monitoring concepts are additionally introduced at the end of this course. At the
practical plane, students learn how to configure a router and a switch for basic functionality, and
how to troubleshoot and resolve common network issues with static routing, dynamic
routing, Virtual Local Area Networks, Network Address Translation, Security Access
Control Lists, Dynamic host configuration, network monitoring protocols, and perform
device discovery.

The CCNA® Routing and Switching curriculum Version 6.0 helps students enrolled in the
Cisco Networking Academy® program prepare for entry-level career opportunities,
continuing education with networking related degree programs, and globally recognized
Cisco certifications.
The CCNA® Routing and Switching includes four courses that make up the recommended course
flow: Introduction to Networks, Routing and Switching Essentials, Scaling
Networks, and Connecting Networks, as shown in the following Figure.
 LIU follows the above course flow as recommended by Cisco in order to help
students prepare for the CCENT certification exam after the first two courses, and to prepare
for the CCNA Routing and Switching certification exam after completing all four courses
The course matches with the second course in the flow, Routing and Switching Essentials. By
the end of this course, students will be able to configure and troubleshoot routers and switches
and resolve common issues with RIPv2, virtual LANs, inter-VLAN routing, Network Address
Translation (NAT) and basic network security through Access Control Lists (ACL).

Learning Outcomes

A student who successfully fulfills the course requirements will have demonstrated ability to:

Description
CO – 1 Analyze, Examine, Apply configurations and Test Layer 3 connectivity in a
statically routed network topology (static routing approach) and in a dynamically
routed network topology (dynamic routing protocols)

Class Rules & Discipline
Attendance Policy
The student is administratively withdrawn (AW) from the class if he/she is absent for more than one third of
the classes (15 class sessions for courses offered 3 times a week, 10 for courses offered twice a week, and 5
for courses offered once a week). If the number of absences exceeds the limit after the withdrawal deadline,
i.e. including all the period up-to the end of the semester, the student will not receive an AW grade,
therefore, the final examination must be written, otherwise, an F grade will be granted. When absent, you
are responsible for all material presented in class. Missed exams will only be excused by documented
evidence as explained in the make-up examination policy below.
Cheating
The University policy on cheating will be strictly applied. Students are required to adhere to the policy on
academic irregularities contained in the LIU student handbook. Collaboration among students in solving
assignments is not acceptable. It is okay to ask another student for advice when stuck on a problem, but if
the instructor receives assignments that are substantially equivalent, all involved students will be punished
with a grade of zero.
Classroom Manners
All students are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner. Students should not: keep their
cell phones on during the class, disrupt the class, do other course work in class, have side conversations
with other students, be rude towards anyone. The first failure to respect these rules will result in a warning
from the instructor. If a student chooses to disregard the warning, he/she will be dismissed from class.
Instructor late to the class
In case the instructor is late the students should wait for 15 minutes before leaving the class.
Abuse of Computing Privileges
The Office of Information Technology maintains policies posted in the computer labs regarding proper
behavior in the labs. Failure to adhere to these policies may result in loss of computer privileges, and
possible legal action.
Make-Up Examination Policy
As per university council decision, a student is eligible for a mid-term or final examination make-up if and
only if he/she had the following incidents:
a. Sickness; proved by hospitalization report; that is; a discharge summary is necessary.
b. Death in the family proved by a death certificate and personal identification.
c. Accidents proved by an expert report.
A student that misses an exam should submit a petition within one week from the examination date. Late
petitions will be rejected unless it is an extreme case (Hospitalization as an example).
In case a petition is accepted, the student submits a MAKE-UP exam. The grade of the missing exam will
be equal to a percentage % of the Final Exam’s grade. The percentage % will be set by the administration
once the petition is approved.
Cheating policy: Any cheating will be rewarded with a zero, all students involved in cheating will get a zero
(even if the cheating is in one question). The activity would not be repeated.

Missing Assignments and Projects Policy

- A -10 per day penalty will be applied to late projects (weekends count as two days).
- A ZERO will be applied for late assignments on the next day.

Curriculum, Yearly Plan, and Advising

If a student majoring in Computer Science or Information Technology is planning to graduate in three years
then he/she should follow the corresponding major yearly plan. A copy of the yearly plan and the
curriculum (which contains the prerequisites and co-requisites of courses) can be picked up from the office
of the school of Arts and Science. When not sure about anything please contact your advisor prior to or
during the registration period.
Probation Policy
If a student who has attempted 19 credits has a GPA or a major GPA below 2.0 then the student is
considered under probation.
LIU E-mails
LIU students should use their LIU e-mails in communicating with the instructors. Important
announcements, syllabi, assignments, and solutions will be sent to your LIU e-mail accounts.
University Peer Review Policy
This is a new policy at LIU in which during the semester, all classes will be visited by instructors either
from the same or different departments. This policy helps instructors figure out ways to improve student
educational experiences in class and eventually their performance.
Snapshots
Students are not allowed to take snapshots of the whiteboard in classrooms using their mobile-phones.
