Introduction to Networking and Security

This was an introduction to modern networking concepts and technology. This provided me with the fundamental concepts, technologies, components and issues related to communications and data networks. Topics include network architectures, infrastructures, services, protocols, cyber-attacks, adversaries, and defense.

One of the assignments that stood out to me was the hands-on assignment 4. I had to come up with a budget. This budget was for constant hall building at Old Dominion University. I had to count up all the rooms and find the number of cablings and switches. The switches I had to distribute them around the building. I also had to make a diagram for the placement of the server rooms and telecommunication rooms.
