Summary
Upon successful completion of the course, the student:
– designs and configures basic components of an extensive computer network using Linux and IPv6,
– applies tools for network monitoring, management, and traffic analysis,
– configures and evaluates authentication and authorization mechanisms based on LDAP, RADIUS, and Kerberos,
– applies the principles of single sign-on and federated authentication,
– analyses network traffic and network status using appropriate monitoring and diagnostic tools.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The goal of course is to apply theoretical knowledge of computer networks, basic network services with operating system Linux and IPv6 protocol, into practical solutions. The graduate of this course will gain knowledge in the field of monitoring IPv6 networks, authentication and authorization.
