Summary

The subject acquaints students with the management, monitoring, troubleshooting and optimization of packet-based switched and routed networks. Students will deepen their knowledge of switched and routed networks, learn more advanced ways to monitor the state of the computer network, design guidelines, high availability, and advanced configuration tools. Troubleshooting of computer network problems will also be emphasized. Students will also understand the mechanisms of possible attacks on IP networks and the principles of how to detect and prevent these attacks. The topics discussed will be practically tested in laboratory exercises, which form the main subject matter.
