Objective
Student knows the basics of data communications and data communications networks. Student understands the principles of IP addresses, subnetworking and TCP/IP protocols. Students knows the OSI and TCP/IP structure and functions as well as the configuration of routers.
Content
Students will become familiar with data communications protocols and how they work. They will understand the principles of data transfer and data communications systems. They will also be familiar with the latest communications network and application solutions.
- Operation of Ethernet LAN technology.
- ARP protocol
- IP protocol
- IPv6 protocol
- TCP protocol
- UDP protocol
- ICMP protocol
- HTTP protocol
- DNS protocol
- DHCP protocol
- FTP protocol
- Telnet protocol
- SSH protocol
The operation of the protocols is studied by building a communication network with a simulator, where the communication can be studied and the operation of the protocols can be examined. Configuring routers is practiced.
Location and time
The schedules can be found in the timetable at https://lukkarikone.seamk.fi/. Timetables are published for the next six weeks. The first six weeks of autumn are published by Midsummer and the first six weeks of spring by Christmas. Timetables may be subject to changes.
Materials
Teacher delivers needed materials and links
Teaching methods
The study involves contact teaching and requires attendance at the SEAMK campus.
The course is conducted in the Moodle learning environment. The course requires independent work and scheduling.
- The course includes joint online meetings/pair or group work at campus.
- The course includes laboratories at the SEAMK campus.
- The student familiarizes themselves with the theoretical material, completes online assignments / practice project / exam according to the given instructions.
Completion alternatives
- Exam
- Learning tasks
Student workload
Lectures and guided exercises 32 h, independent study 49 h
The workload of the study is designed so that one credit corresponds to an average of 27 hours of student work to achieve the learning objectives. The actual time required varies individually, e.g., due to prior knowledge.
