Continues the competencies covered in CNT 120. This course teaches students the following concepts through lecture and hands-on laboratory exercises: virtualization, cloud computing, remote access, encryption, network risk management, firewalls, unified communications, network management, network monitoring, subnetting, super netting, Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs), WAN technologies, Wireless Local Area Network (WLANs), Industrial networks, troubleshooting, and Network Design. Students regularly use multiple operating systems, virtual machines and network hardware to complete hands-on laboratory exercises. Additional focus is placed upon reviewing the objectives on the Network+ exam to help students prepare for the Network+ certification exam. However, this course is not sponsored, nor endorsed, or affiliated with CompTIA, Inc. A course fee is required. Prerequisite: CNT 120 with a grade of C or higher.
Provides the student with practical skills necessary to design, install, test, and certify communications wiring systems. This course covers communications cabling choices that are currently available, the standards for their use, tools and equipment utilized, installation methods, testing, certification, and troubleshooting installed cable system failures. Students are taught the rules and standards that govern the design of cabling systems. The laboratory exercises require students to install, test, certify and troubleshoot a copper cable system and fiber-optic termination according to a standards-based installation. Students also prepare a bid specification for a cable system installation. A course fee is required. Prerequisite: CNT 120 with a grade of C or higher.
Provides students with a more detailed understanding of internetworking and internetworking devices. This course presents more in-depth details of the TCP/IP Protocol suite including the underlying applications, components and protocols, identifying TCP/IP layers, and components and functions. The devices discussed and utilized in this course include hubs, switches, routers, and servers. Topics include L2 addressing, Virtual Local Area Network (LANs) and VLAN Trunking, L3 addressing, routing techniques, routing protocols, Network Address Translation (NAT), security, remote access, troubleshooting, and traffic capture and analysis. In addition, this course presents the following protocols: Ethernet, Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), IPv4, IPv6, Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP), Routing Information Protocol (RIP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), User Datagram Protocol (UDP), Domain Name System (DNS), Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), and various application layer protocols such as HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and 247

CNT 220 with a grade of C or higher; or permission of the Instructor.
CNT 250Virtualization and Cloud Computing 3:2:3
Provides students with an in-depth understanding of virtualization and cloud computing concepts through lecture and hands-on lab exercises. This course covers topics that include benefits of virtualization, virtualization terminology, hardware requirements, hardware selection and compatibility, configuration and administration of desktop virtualization, server virtualization, cloud computing, virtual networking. The course also explores the “As a Service” (aaS) concept such as Infrastructure As a Service (IaaS), Platform As a Service (PaaS) and Software As a Service (SaaS) and the offerings available on common cloud providers. Cloud management and develops techniques are covered as well. Laboratory exercises allow students to use common commercial and freely available virtualization software and common cloud computing providers. Prerequisite: CNT 120 with a grade of C or higher. Co-requisite: CIS 249 or 264; or permission of the Instructor.
Provides the networking professional a complete foundation of knowledge for entering into or advancing in the wireless networking industry. From basic RF theory to link budget math, including topics from troubleshooting to performing a site survey, this course delivers hands-on training that benefits the novice as well as the experienced network professional. This course targets both novice and experienced networking professionals who wish to gain a solid understanding of wireless networking to complement their knowledge of traditional wired networking. This course can be used to help students prepare for the CWNA (Certified Wireless Network Administrator) exam. A course fee is required. Prerequisite: CNT 120 or CTEC 101 and CNT 125 with grades of C or higher.
Faculty-monitored employment in an approved internship with a local employer, maintaining an active network environment, for a minimum of 15-hours per week. The intern works on a day-to-day basis with a network administrator, specialist, or technician. As a job “shadow,” the intern has responsibilities that may include basic network configuration, documentation, support, and troubleshooting tasks. The qualified candidate applies the knowledge and skills acquired as a Computer Networking Technology major. This course is scheduled for the last semester and is intended for those not employed in a computer-related position. Restricted, see Program Coordinator.
