- Basic terminology and concepts
- Function and application of network management systems and protocols (e.g., SNMP, DHCP, DNS, NTP)
- Network topology and partitioning (e.g., VLANs)
- Link aggregation, failover, and load balancing (e.g., LACP, STP)
- Quality of service (QoS)

| Criteria for evaluation |
Grading is based on three components: active participation in lectures and lab exercises, a theoretical exam to prove knowledge and understanding, and completion and (written) presentation of practical exercises to verify that students possess the skills to put their knowledge into practice. All three parts must be completed successfully to complete the course.
|
| Methods |
Lecture including discussions as well as accompanying practical lab exercises; Practical exercises in a lab environment that students prepare and present on their own.
