Router Lab
Seminar – Winter 2025/2026
Have you ever wondered how the Internet is made? Well, in this 2 week course you will 'make the Internet'.
In this seminar, we take a hands-on approach to explore the workings of internet components and provide a deep understanding of the underlying protocols. Specifically, we examine how routers and switches can be configured and connected to a working IP network.
The seminar consists of a series of activities starting with setting up the hardware and introducing basic configuration for VLANs and IPv4/IPv6 networks and gradually moving to more advanced topics, including but not limited to, routing protocols, virtual private networks, security, network monitoring, and troubleshooting.
| Requirements | Participants should have sufficient knowledge of computer networks and how the Internet works, e.g., by successfully completing "Data Networks" (or an equivalent course), or by demonstrating relevant prior practical experience. |
