This course introduces students to routing principles and modern network architecture for small to medium-sized enterprise environments. Students learn to configure routers, manage dynamic routing protocols, and secure routing infrastructures while designing scalable and resilient networks. Emphasis is placed on IPv4/IPv6, SDN (Software-Defined Networking), virtualized routing environments, and practical troubleshooting techniques. Hands-on labs provide experience in configuring physical and virtual routers, integrating hybrid networks, and applying industry best practices. Content aligns with Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification objectives and prepares students for routing and network design in contemporary on-premise, hybrid, cloud-enabled IT environments.
