About the Course

The course provides knowledge and theories specific for networks, network infrastructure and skills to configure and manage the communication between devices, both offline and online. Candidates are provided a solid understanding of networking concepts. The course focus on Cisco components to learn about the configuration of network components. The course builds on competence from Operating and File Systems. 

A network is defined as a connection of more than one computer, which is the foundation of the study programme. This course provides the foundation and logic to concepts in this and later courses, and for further education.
