- 1. COURSE NAME: CST215 Routing and Switching Essentials Credit Value: 4 Total Course Hours: 56 Prerequisite Course(s): CST115 Corequisite Course(s): None COURSE DESCRIPTION This course is the second level networking technologies course. Students will increase their depth of knowledge and skills required to implement modern TCP/IP networks. In this course students continue to learn about the networking models and related TCP/IP protocols. Modern switching techniques including Virtual LANs (VLANs), Spanning Tree Protocol, and other switching topics are covered in some depth. By the end of the course the student will be able to plan for and configure switches to provide resilient connections through redundancy, create and manage VLANs, and apply fundamental security concepts. The student is now able to configure more complicated networks.
