Note: The Cisco Networking Academy is in the process of revising and updating the curriculum for the CCNA. These changes will not be finalized until Summer of 2003. The Cisco Networking Academy at Southwestern Oregon Community College is dedicated to bringing the students the most current curriculum and technology. The following information is based on the proposed changes in the curriculum and is subject to change when the CCNA Version 3 is finalized and released for use.
 
Course Title: Network Academy Fundamentals III
Course Number: CIS 6245
Credits: 3
Prerequisites: CIS 6244 (CCNA 2)
Instructor: Chris Williamson
Office: Umpqua 201
Work Phone: 1-541-888-7329
Home Phone: 1-541-888-8239
E-Mail Address:  cwilliamson@socc.edu
Course Description: Network Academy Fundamentals III introduces students to fundamental concepts of computer internet-working including RIP and IGRP routing protocols; LAN segmentation; and techniques that allow networks to automatically reconfigure themselves to overcome problems; access control lists; and routing Novell IPX protocol. Students will be expected to apply knowledge and skills learned in this term to successive internetworking courses. This course is the third in a series of courses (4) which will prepare students to take the Cisco CCNA Certification Exam.
Course Objectives: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to perform tasks related to the following:
  • Variable Length Subnet Masking (VLSM)
  • Intermediate routing protocols such as RIP Version 2, Single-Area OSPF, and EIGRP
  • Ethernet Switching
  • Virtual LANs (VLANs)
  • Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
  • VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP)
 Reading Assignments:  Multimedia study materials are available on the on the campus intranet and on local lab web servers. Students can to access study materials via the Internet at http://cisco.netacad.net. Students are expected to complete reading assignments on each topic before the topic is discussed in class. Topics and specific reading assignments are identified in the class schedule.

The class will be conducted to follow a schedule similar to the one below:
