Internetworking III & IV
This is the second of two courses designed to provide students with classroom and laboratory experience in current and emerging networking technology that will enable them to enter employment and/or further education and training in the computer networking field.  Content standards are based on a task analysis of current industry and occupational standards. 

The first half of the course includes, but is not limited to, switches; LAN and virtual local area network (VLAN) design, configuration, and maintenance; internetwork packet exchange (IPX) routing and interior gateway routing protocols (IGRP); and network troubleshooting. 

The second half of the course includes, but is not limited to, wide area networks (WANs), integrated services data networks (ISCN), point-to-point protocols (PPP), and frame relay design, configuration and maintenance.  Students develop practical experience in skills related to configuring WANs, ISDN, PPP, and frame relay protocol and network troubleshooting. 

Integrated throughout the course are career preparation standards, which include basic academic skills, communication, interpersonal skills, problem solving, safety, technology, and other employment skills.  (180 hour program)

Prerequisites:  Internetworking 1 & 2 or the equivalent.
