The classes conducted in the laboratory allow students to obtain theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the area of designing, constructing and maintaining local and wide area computer networks. Special attention is paid to the telepresence and Voice over IP (VoIP) telephony technologies. Moreover, students discover wireless technologies and methods of ensuring security in computer networks. They learn about routing protocols, e.g., RIP, IGRP, EGRP, OSPF, BGP, the properties of the VLANs, STP, VoIP technologies, the methods of ensuring the Quality of Service (QoS) within the IntServ and DiffServ strategies and the IPv4/IPv6 addressing schemes. The well-equipped laboratory allows practical teaching of the architectures and configuration methods of routers, switches, firewalls, wireless bridges and access points. The equipment of the laboratory, covers, among others, routers: Cisco Catalyst 8200L, 4321, 2911, 2901, 1921, switches Cisco: Catalyst 9300L 24p PoE, Catalyst 3560G, Catalyst 2960, firewalls: Cisco Firepower 1010 ASA Appliance, ASA 5510, ASA 5506-X, ASA 5505, wireless access points: ASUS ROG RAPTURE GT-AXE11, and VoIP Cisco CP-8841. The laboratory is equipped with a separate, dedicated computer network which allows the design, implementation and validation of various technologies, standards and network protocols during the classes, without interfering with the operation of the university network. This is particularly important when testing network and system security solutions. The class activities are conducted by the instructors of the Local CISCO Academy Laboratory of the Institute of Control and Computation Engineering, who have more than 20 years of teaching experience in the framework of the Cisco Networking Academy program.
