CSIS 331 Networks

Building on the foundational knowledge of the 330 course, this is a study in corporate data networking. This course primarily focuses on switched networks (wired and wireless) with hands on work on setting up and operating a switched network. Routed networks fundamentals and concepts will be introduced to prepare students for careers in networks operations and the follow-on advanced networks class. (Formerly BMIS 331)

The CSIS 331 Networks course is the next logical progression in the study of both Information Assurance and Data Networking cognates. The prerequisite CSIS 330 course introduced business data and telecommunications. As the student advances, he/she is now ready for a more in-depth immersion into switched networks and how networks support business objectives. This course sets the stage for the student to advance into the more complex “routed” networks taught in the follow-on CSIS 430 course.
