IST 154 - Networking Basics

Prerequisite: IST 102 .
(3 Credits)
Students become familiar with networking terminology and concepts. This course introduces the fundamental building blocks that form a modern network, such as protocols, topologies, hardware, and network operating systems. It then provides coverage of the most important concepts in contemporary networking, such as client/server architecture, TCP/IP, Ethernet, wireless transmission, and security. A current network operating system is used to examine managing users, groups and devices. Additional networking operating systems are surveyed. Also included are discussions of the OSI model, subnets, troubleshooting, and networking integrity. Course objectives map to the CompTIA Net+ Exam. Successful completion of a DOS or Windows course is strongly recommended. Course fee required.
