Courses
- INFR 2411UAdvanced Networking IThis 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.
- INFR 2421UAdvanced Networking IIThis 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.
- INFR 2431UAdvanced Networking IIIThis 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.
- INFR 3850USystem and Network AdministrationThis course will introduce students to the fundamentals of system and network administration. Students will understand the role of system and network administrators in an organisation, and how to apply the principles and best practices of system and network administration. Students will learn how to plan, deploy, and manage enterprise networks and systems, including providing services to the network and systems such as DNS, DHCP, Group Policy, file and print services, authentication services, and directory services. Students will also learn important management functions such as image and patch management, disaster recovery, and performance management.
- INFR 4410UCCIE Routing and SwitchingThis course covers expert level knowledge of networking across various LAN and WAN interfaces and a variety of routers and switches. The course presents ways to solve complex connectivity problems and apply technology solutions to improve response times, maximise performance, improve security, and support global applications. This course covers expert level knowledge and skill in the fundamentals of IP and core IP technologies such as unicast IP routing (OSPF, EIGRP, RIPv2), multicast, MPLS, MPLS VPNs, traffic engineering, BGP, multiprotocol BGP and Layer 2 technologies. The course also covers IPv6 and the associated technologies such as OSPFv3 and IPv6 multicast.
- INFR 4430UVoiceThis course covers the foundational topics of Voice Over IP (VoIP) design and implementations in a SOHO environment. Topics include VoIP fundamentals, VoIP design elements, VoIP routing, call signalling, gateways and gatekeepers, dial plans and digit manipulation.
