Faculty Name: Richard Roe Title: Professor

Course Prefix and Number: CIT 167 Course Credit Hours: 4

Course Prerequisites: CIT 161 or Consent of Instructor

Course Title: Routing and Switching

Catalog Course Description: Course describes the architecture, components, and operations of routers and

switches in a small network. Students learn how to configure a router and a

switch for basic functionality. Students will be able to configure and

troubleshoot routers and switches and resolve common issues with RIPv1,

RIPv2, single-area and multi-area OSPF, virtual LANs, and inter-VLAN routing

in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks.
