Learning Computer Communication and Networking Fundamentals

Computer Networking

What you’ll learn:
Students can learn computer communication and networking fundamentals through simulation software.

Requirements
Basic understanding of concepts in the field of computer communication like switches, hubs, routers,Wireless LAN is required.

Description
The internet has become one of the most important components of our life. We browse the web, check e-mails, make VoIP phone calls, and have video conferences via computers. All of these applications are made possible by networking computers together. A system of interconnected computers and computerized peripherals is called computer network.

This course gives the detail instructions about the computer communication and networking hands on experience by configuring various devices in Cisco packet tracer.

Cisco packet tracer is an open source tool available which is easy to operate and have numerous features to configure real time environment.

The course is arranged as follows:

Introduction to Packet Tracer
