CENT 340 - Advanced Routing
- Prerequisite: CENT 240
- Recommended Prep: CCNA
A lecture/lab course covering topics on scalable networks. Emphasis is on scalable routing protocols like OSPF, EIGRP, and BGP. This course prepares the student for the CCNP BSCI Exam.
Contact: 3 hours lecture; 3 hours lab per week
