Summary
Network infrastructure is a very important part of any computer network. Its correct initial design and avoidance of system errors can facilitate its future expansion, or ensuring elementary safety already during its design. The course "Network Infrastructure" will offer students the opportunity to pick up the basics of computer network design with a focus on structured cabling, routers, switches, addressing, server solutions, backup, security and more.
