Presentation of the subject

The aim of this course is to explain the main elements for a good design and implementation of a campus network. The most important points that will be seen in this subject are:

  • Local area networks
  • Campus networks: features, design, devices and configurations
  • Wireless local area networks
  • Network management
  • Network automation

The classroom (physical or virtual) is a safe space, free of sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic and discriminatory attitudes, either towards students or towards teachers. We trust that together we can create a safe space where we can make mistakes and learn without having to suffer prejudice from others.
