Building upon the skillset obtained in CR2402, this course describes the architectures and considerations related to designing, securing, operating, and troubleshooting enterprise networks. The course covers wide area network (WAN) technologies and quality of service (QoS) mechanisms used for secure remote access. Software-defined networking, virtualization, and automation concepts that support the digitalization of networks are introduced. Students will gain the skills required to configure and troubleshoot enterprise networks and learn to identify and protect against cybersecurity threats. They are introduced to network management tools and learn key concepts of software-defined networking, including controller-based architectures and how application programming interfaces (APIs) enable network automation.
