Router Lab

Seminar – Winter 2020/2021

In this seminar, we take a hands-on approach to explore the workings of internet components and provide a deep understanding of the underlying protocols. Specifically, we examine how routers and switches can be configured and connected to a working IP network.
The seminar consists of a series of activities starting with setting up the hardware and introducing basic configuration for VLANs and IPv4/IPv6 networks and gradually moving to more advanced topics, including but not limited to, routing protocols, virtual private networks, security, network monitoring, and troubleshooting.

RequirementsParticipants should have sufficient knowledge of computer networks and how the Internet works, e.g., by having successfully participated in "Data Networks", an equivalent course, or by demonstrating relevant prior practical experience.
