The FHSU Internetworking Certificate is designed to provide key
skills for persons desiring to be computer networking professionals. A
student completing the FHSU certificate will have completed the course
work necessary to sit for the prestigious Cisco Certified Networking Associate (CCNA) examination.
The five classes in this certificate also apply toward the FHSU
bachelors degree concentration in Telecommunications and Networking
offered by the Department of Information Networking and
Telecommunications.

While students may take just the series of three
Internetworking courses to sit for the Cisco CCNA exam, research has
shown that the students who have taken all five courses have a much
higher first time pass rate than the national average. Network
Architecture and Data Communication I and II address the theory of data
communication for Internetworking. Topics include, for Data
Communication I: OSI Model, physical media, electrical signal, line
coding, link level protocol, network routing and addressing, LAS and
WAN concepts. In Network Architecture and Data Communication II,
students study internetworking services that reside in the upper layers
of the OSI Model, and advanced concepts not included in Network
Architecture and Data Communication I. Topics may include, but are not
limited to: Internetwork Design, Internetwork Security, Synchronous
Optical Network (SONET), Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP),
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Point to Point Protocol,
advanced routing protocols and other networking services.
Computer Requirements
A computer produced in the last three years, Internet access of at
least 500 kbps, Windows or Linus operating system, and DVD drive.
