Introduction

This course teaches the basik network administration skills to run a small network. The course covers traffic analysis, WiFi networks, switching, routing and firewalls. And, most important, how all this elements combine to build a network.

It is a hand-on course that guides the students through network design and device interconnection, configuration and troubleshooting.

Prerequisites

Basic principles of packet networks. Switching and routing. Networked applications (WEB, FTP, etc.). Protocol layer stack (OSI and Internet). Basic knowledge of linux.

This course should be taken after "Xarxes i Serveis" and "Protocols de Xarxes i Serveis".
