CIS 246 Entire Course – DeVry (All Dqs And I Labs) 

Week 1 discussions 

Networking in Society (graded) 

Explain ways that networking has changed society in the past 10 years. Do you feel that 

computer networking has impacted your life? Please explain. 

. 

Peer-to-Peer and Client-Server Environments (graded) 

What kind of network does your current or former workplace have: peer to peer or client-server? 

What problems does it have? What are some ideas to improve it? If you don’t know which, 

explain what you think would have worked best and describe the circumstances. 

Week 2 discussion

Transmission Basics (graded) 

The lecture covers several standards. Which ones are most common? Which ones are more or 

less obsolete? What can you find out about the future of transmission and media types? What is 

happening with 10 Gbps? What about 100 Gbps? 

Networking Hardware and Topologies (graded) 

Let’s figure out what kind of networking equipment an organization would need to buy. You can 

make assumptions on size and budget. What do we need to purchase? Why do we need to 

purchase it? That is, what will it do for us? How do we hook them together? That is, how do we 

cable them (or not cable them) together? Why is there such a big difference in price with the 

brands? How do network topologies figure into our selections and designs? 

Week 3 discussion 

TCP/IP (graded) 

There is an alphabet soup of protocols in TCP/IP: HTTP, FTP, SMTP, POP3, TCP, UDP, IP, 

ARP, ICMP, and others. What are the characteristics of these protocols? What are they used for? 

Has there been an evolution in any of these protocols? Are there any weaknesses or 

disadvantages?

Network Servers (graded) 

Search the Internet for Windows servers by Dell, IBM, HP, and others. What are the features and 

prices? Which ones do you think would be appropriate for the various Windows Server 2008 

editions? It is okay not to understand all of the specifications. When you find something you 

don’t know, ask the class. 

week 4 discussion 

Understanding and Applying Active Directory (graded) 

Active Directory (AD) is arguably the most critical component of Windows Server 2008, 

certainly for larger organizations. It enables corporations to manage and secure their resources 

from a single directory service and with a common interface—a very powerful tool. Because it is 

so powerful and offers so many features and capabilities, it sometimes can be complex to those 

looking at it for the first time. This week, we are going to learn about AD in detail, starting with 

the fundamentals. As we progress during the week, you will begin to see it’s not that intimidating 

after all. First, though, let’s get the fundamentals down. What exactly is a directory service and 

what are some examples in industry? Next, let’s get the definition of Active Directory down— 

what exactly is it and what benefits does it provide? After this, we’ll look at the details on how it 

is implemented in the business environment.

Linux Versus Windows Administration (graded) 

In what ways do you think administering Linux is better than Windows? In what ways is 

Windows better than Linux? This can be with regard to having to manage a single server or 

multiple servers. 



Wireless Networks (graded) 

Today, wireless transmission media are commonplace in business as well as residential 

applications, and their application is growing. This week, we will learn about wireless 

technology by starting with the fundamentals. How are wireless signals carried? What are the 

obstacles to successful transmissions and their repercussions? What standards govern wireless 

transmissions? How do we secure our wireless networks? 

VoIP (graded) 

Traditionally, packet-switched networks carried primarily data and the public switched telephone 

network (PSTN) carried telephone calls and fax transmissions. Convergence is the use of one 

network to carry data, voice, and video communications simultaneously. Let’s begin this 

discussion by identifying and discussing key terms such as IP telephony or VoIP, VoATM, 

VoDSL, Internet telephony, FoIP, and video over IP.


Network Security (graded) 

In this topic please discuss security measures you see in everyday life that you could adopt in a 

network environment. You can also include security implementations of places you have 

worked. 

Network Integrity and Availability (graded) 

In this topic, we will discuss measures that can be taken to ensure that a network’s programs, 

data, services, devices, and connections are sound and protected from anything that might render 

them unusable. What situations can compromise integrity and availability and what, specifically, 

can we do to protect our networks? 

week 7 discussions 

USING A WAN (GRADED) 

Find WAN organizations (ISPs) that will connect you to the Internet or connect your offices. 

What services do they offer? What costs are involved?

LINUX AND WINDOWS INTEGRATION (GRADED) 

What are some ways you could integrate Linux servers into a Windows network to share 

information? What would be the advantages and disadvantages? Feel free to get into the details 

of Samba, which is covered in the lab. Are there any other products out there? You can get 

creative on this one. You could also offer scenarios for FTP, Web, or even Telnet.
