COURSE OUTLINE
CSCO-282
Routing Protocols and Concepts
3 Semester Hours
HOWARD COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Description
The focus of this course is on routing and routing protocols. The goal is to develop an understanding of how a
router learns about remote networks and determines the best path to those networks. The hands-on labs and
virtual lab activities used in this course are designed to help the student develop an understanding of how to
configure routing operations while reinforcing the concepts learned. Prerequisite: CSCO-281. (2 hours lecture,
3 hours lab)
