12 hours covering the following activities:
* use of tools for network analysis
* design of an enterprise IP network
* configuration of a firewall, NAT and PAT
* use of Telnet for the emulation of Internet clients
* installation of Web server
* installation of a virtual private network (VPN)
Examination consists of a written test with questions about the theory and practice part of the class and numerical exercises.
A project can be developed in small groups of max 3 people.
The result of the project (max 3 points) is summed to the result of the written test.
