- Understand, describe, configure, verify, and troubleshoot Infrastructure Maintenance technologies (SNMP, IP SLA, local SPAN, AAA with TACACS+/RADIUS, network programmability)
Learning Model Architecture
This course follows a weekly cycle of Prepare, Teach One Another, and Ponder and Prove activities.
Prepare
You will prepare by setting goals and scheduling your time wisely. This will help you to complete assignments, stay on task, and perform valuable work in the future. You will have little predefined structure and will be responsible for thinking ahead and establishing your own productive schedule.
Ponder and Prove
You will demonstrate your work each week by completing exploration activities, quizzes, and exams.
Prerequisites
CIT 240 Networking
Required Materials
You will be using TestOut Routing and Switching Pro. Access to this resource is available in the Lesson Overviews starting in Lesson 2.
Assignments
Exploration Activities
Assigned topics are given for each activity. Students must explain what they have learned by conducting independent research, synthesizing ideas from several sources, and posting their thoughts in their own words.
