Learning and Teaching Approaches
The course may be taught both on campus and through blended delivery. Timetabled
classes may include, but are not limited to: theory delivery, discussion, practical
application, video, web-based information, off-site visits, guest speakers and project work.
Blended delivery will be supported by a Learning Management System, other web based
technology, email and telephone. This will enhance the opportunity for students to access
learning materials, communicate with one another and with their lecturers.

UCOL’s learning philosophy is founded on its ability to provide all students with
opportunities to access a wide range of support services. Students are able to access all
possible assistance so that they can succeed at their chosen course of study. Learning
support is intended to diminish or eliminate barriers to learning and academic success.
Assessment Procedures
Assessment is standards based - criterion-referenced and achievement is described by
grades. This course will have a minimum of three pieces of assessment to allow success.
Every assessment must be attempted/submitted in order to be eligible for a 50% minimum
pass.
The specific assessments will be specified in the Course Outline as provided by the
lecturer at the beginning of the semester. Assessment activities will be selected from
the following range: theory test, practical test, practical demonstration, project,
assignment, exercise, interview, debate, report, portfolio, presentation, journal.
Off Campus Learning
Not applicable
Resources and Prescribed / Recommended Texts
The required and recommended reading material will be specified in the Course Outline as
provided by the lecturer at the beginning of the semester. Students will use texts and
other books, journals, CD–ROM databases, on-line databases, and the Internet to increase
their knowledge and awareness of the subject material. The library is also a source of
information and guidance in the use of academic referencing and writing techniques.
Students engage with the library staff, throughout their studies, with the objective of
learning and developing their referencing skills and their general academic writing skills.
To support students who may choose to study off campus, all of the formal material
provided in face-to-face sessions will be available in a web-based format. Resource
based material may also include computer-assisted instruction, print based workbooks
for independent study, multimedia packages, streaming video and streaming audio.

Pre-requisite T205
Co-requisite none
Course Aim
To enable students to gain practical and technical networking knowledge that will allow
them to configure and troubleshoot routers, switches and resolve common issues with
RIPv1, RIPng, single-area and multi-area OSPF, virtual LANs, and inter-VLAN routing in
both IPv4 and IPv6 networks.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this course students will be able to:
1. Describe basic switching concepts and the operation of CISCO switches
2. Describe the purpose, nature, and operations of a router, routing tables, and the
route lookup process
3. Describe how VLANs create logically separate networks and how routing occurs
between them
4. Describe dynamic routing protocols, distance vector routing protocols, and link-state
routing protocols
5. Configure and troubleshoot static routing and default routing (RIP and RIPng)
6. Configure and troubleshoot an Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) network
7. Configure and troubleshoot access control lists (ACLs) for IPv4 and IPv6 networks
8. Configure and troubleshoot Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) for IPv4 and
IPv6 networks
