troubleshoot the primary routing protocols RIPv1, RIPv2, EIGRP, and OSPF. Recognize
and correct common routing issues and problems. Model and analyze routing processes.
Note: This course is web enhanced. Although the class meets only 4 hours per week, there will
be reading and lab assignments that you will be required to perform outside of class that will
require a minimum of 2 additional hours of individual effort per week. These reading and lab
assignments are mandatory. In addition to the mandatory tasks that are to be completed outside
of the weekly in-class meetings, I will make an optional open lab available on Saturdays – 8am
