At the end of this course, students will be able to:

  1. Compare and distinguish dynamic routing methods (e.g., RIP, OSPF, EIGRP) and select the appropriate one for a given network scenario.

  2. Explain and configure VLANs and demonstrate Inter-VLAN routing to ensure communication across different network segments.

  3. Describe and apply NAT and PAT mechanisms, identifying their different types and appropriate use cases in real-world networks.

  4. Understand the principle and functionality of DALP and its role in optimizing network communication.

  5. Design and implement small to medium-sized network topologies that integrate routing, VLANs, and address translation techniques.
