MIS420 Network Systems
This course provides students with a conceptual overview of networks, including the essential elements of computer networks, protocols of data communication, and the role of network management software. The course begins with a focus on hardware and network topographies and then shifts to network operating systems. Network communication is presented at the conceptual level via OSI reference model, and then at a practical level with TCP/IP. Attributes of contemporary network operating systems are presented and discussed. Activities needed to maintain healthy network environments are investigated.
