CIP 2327 — Basic Networking Concepts
This course describes the components of a typical network and what is required for computers to communicate with each other. Students will learn to distinguish between client and server. They will be able to explain the concept of a layered model and identify and describe the sever layers of the Open System Interconnect model as well as their characteristics. In addition, students will learn to configure client computers running varied operating systems so they can be networked. Students will apply the concepts learned in the lectures with hands-on experiments during the lab hours.
