Course objectives
In this subject, we deal with computer networks. The goal is to get
familiar with the concept and the architecture of computer networks
including wireless networks, their types, common protocols, network
devices, techniques of network administration.
Syllabus:
- Introduction to computer networks. Network hardware
- Protocols, standards, ISO/OSI reference model. Network stacks, the TCP/IP network model.
- Network transfer characteristics, transfer paths.
- Local networks - Ethernet: frames, cables, half and full-duplex.
- Network and transport layer functions, IPv4, IPv6, TCP connection. Network addresses and routing.
- Application protocols, network services, DNS.
- Wireless and mobile networks.
- Network security and network administration.
The content of the exercises partly follows the lectures, but mainly we focus on:
- basic configuration of switch and router,
- crimping cables and network outlets,
- working with addresses, subnetting,
- security of network devices, including configuring SSH access.
Related subjects and courses:
This course is related to courses concerning hardware (Computer Network Architecture, Hardware and Communication Technologies), operating systems (Operating Systems I, II, Operating Systems Architecture) and cyber security ( Security and Data Analysis, Application Security).
Students are also recommended to take at least a portion of Cisco's Computer Networking (CCNA1-3) and Security (CyberOps) courses. Information about Cisco Local Networking Academy (LCNA) in Opava:
Study requirements
The Computer Network and Internet course is completed by credit and examination.
In order to pass the credit, you must write a test including the practical part (configuration of a switch and a router) with at least 50% of the points. Active participation in the exercises is expected to be at least 75 %.
If you complete at least a CCNA1 level certificate in Cisco computer courses before grading, I may accept this as credit. However, I still recommend attending the exercises - we discuss things that are not part of CCNA1.
The exam is a written exam (students are informed of the form in due course) of topics discussed in lectures. The following scale is used for assessment:
| Points | ECTS grade | Grade as number |
| 0-19 | - (F) | - |
| 20-24 | E | 3 |
| 25-29 | D | 2-3 |
| 30-33 | C | 2 |
| 34-37 | B | 1-2 |
| 38-40 | A | 1 |
