8. Course Information Network Topologies Transmission media Coax, twisted pair, fiber Modulation Analog transmission Digital transmission Line coding Bandwidth, frequency, amplitude NICs, Repeaters, Hubs, Switches ISO and the OSI Model Cabling, UTP Collisions domains Broadcast domains Binary and Hexadecimal numbers Ethernet frames MAC addresses Token Ring, FDDI Layer 2 communications IP Addressing and Subnetting Classful and Classless addressing Routers and Routing Protocols ARP ICMP DHCP and DNS TCP and UDP Some of the fundamental networking topics covered: This will not be the last time you learn about these topics in your networking education and career.

9. Where am I? “What should I already know? I don’t know any of this.” Perfect, you are in the right class, but you should already have basic computer literacy knowledge and skills. Hardware, software, CPU, RAM, ROM, disk drives, interface cards, bits, bytes, software development, WWW, email, word processing, windows, file management Prof. Yousif, I think I already know most, if not all of this fundamental networking information. Do I still need to take the course?” See me after class and we can discuss your options.

10. My Approach My approach: Simple minded (me) Repetition Documentation (PowerPoints, online curriculum, books) Don’t expect you to know something I don’t cover in class. Do expect you to be able to extend your knowledge on your own. Encourage courteous participation but will not force it. No surprise tests. About Yourself Assignment

11. Herding Cats In some ways, the hardest networking course you will ever take. Not because it is difficult, but because: A lot of new concepts These concepts become more clear in later courses, after you have seen them multiple times. Learning networking is like trying to herd cats. No one great place to start. The material this semester will make much more sense in later semesters. The more you learn about other areas, the more a certain topic makes sense. A lot of, “You will learn more about that later.” A lot of, “Good question, but there is no short answer right now.” Sometimes, “See me after class and I can explain it.”
