CT043-3-1 - Introduction to
Networking
Name of Course : Introduction to Networking Version VD1
Number:
Course Code : CT043-3-1 Effective Date: 20 Sep 2019

Synopsis : This module is mapped to CCNA – Introduction to Networks. It is an introductory module to the architecture, structure, functions,
components, and models of the internet. It describes the use of OSI and TCP layered models to examine the nature and roles of protocols and
services at the applications, network, data link, and physical layers. It also covers the principles and structure of IP addressing and the
fundamentals of Ethernet concepts, media, and operations. Students are also going to build a simple LAN topology by applying basic principles
of cabling, performing basic configurations of network devices (including routers & switches) and implementing IP addressing schemes.

Name(s) of academic staff : Dr. Kamalakannan Machap, Qusay Sabah Ishaq, Dr. Maen, Yogeswaran, David Tan

Semester and Year offered : See Programme Specification

(Module may be delivered on multiple programmes and therefore in different years/semesters)

Credit Value : 3
