Implementation of new communication technologies into the learning process

Computer network labs at FIIT

Established in cooperation with NetAcad (Cisco Networking Academy Program)

currently two full-featured labs in rooms D105 & D113

Miscellaneous accessories – external modems, web cameras

Computer network labs at FIIT

Lab equipment in room D113

12 routers (Cisco 2500, 2600) featuring:

Synchronous and asychronous serial interfaces

Ethernet and FastEthernet interfaces

routing functionality for IPv4

8 layer-2 switches – Catalyst 2950

2 Cisco 1232AG Access points

2 Cisco 1310 Wireless bridges

Cisco PCI and Cardbus Aironet wireless NICs

xDSL

Currently taught in CCNA4 and CCNP2 courses

We are using SHDSL – why?

we do not have DSLAM (we are in the process of getting one)

we are aimed mostly on how upper layers work

Typical xDSL network

xDSL

Current xDSL network at our lab

We do not have DSLAM nor ATM backbone

Using SHDSL we can simplify xDSL network to:

On our simple xDSL network we can demonstrate

RFC 1483 bridging, PPPoA (RFC 2364), PPPoE (RFC 2516), AAA

Students use:

PPPoE (it is predominant today)

Authentication (no Authorization or Accounting now)

CPE BBRAS

RJ-11AAA Server

IPv6

Currently taught in CCNP1 course

However covers only how IPv6 address looks like and no practical exercises

We think the time has come to start talking about IPv6 because:

will replace IPv4… sooner or later

IPv6 is already deployed on the Internet

Study material on IPv6

RFC documents of course… but they might be hard to read

Your local bookstore

Study material also developed by Peter Mesjar as a part of final project in easy to learn format. Also used as direct support for practical exercises developed by him for CCNP1 course.

IPv6

Current IPv6 practical exercises

Lab 1 – Enabling IPv6 on Cisco IOS and learning the core functions

Lab 2 – IPv4 and IPv6 coexistence using tunneling

Scheduled IPv6 practical exercises

6to4 mechanism and anycast routing

RIPng, OSPFv3 and BGP routing

IP Telephony

Currently taught in IP Telephony course

Good introduction to the world of POTS, ISDN and VoIP for the price of using proprietary protocols (SCCP instead of SIP)

Current IP Telephony network at our lab:

IEEE 802.11 (WiFi)

Currently taught in FWL course

Now in version 1.2 based on IEEE 802.11b standard

We use IEEE 802.11g

One part of the current WiFi network at our lab:

The future…

Courses currently taught at RCNA FIIT

CCNA1, CCNA2, CCNA3, CCNA4

CCNP1, CCNP2, CCNP3, CCNP4

Courses scheduled to start in september 2006

IP Telephony, FWL

Courses scheduled to start in near future

Network Security 1, Network Security 2

We are constantly enhancing our labs with new technologies

We are in process of finding funds for buying ADSL equipment and optical equipment for PON

Thank you!
