Written Evaluation: The purpose of the written portion, of the contest, is to test a student’s complete knowledge of Internetworking. Questions from the written evalu- ation will be taken from the following general Internetworking topic areas: OSI model and industry standards Network topologies IP addressing, including subnet masks Basic Network Design Beginning router configurations Routed and routing protocols Advanced router configurations LAN switching theory and VLANs Advanced LAN and LAN switched design WAN theory and design WAN technology, PPP, Frame, Relay, ISDN Network troubleshooting Hands-on Evaluation: The purpose of the hands-on component of the contest will be to test a student’s ability to design, install, and maintain Internetworks. Given a set of networking equipment (cable, switch, routers, etc.), the students must, in a finite amount of time, install network equipment and configure. This would be similar to doing an installation at a trade show. The vision and context is that client companies would request a demonstration booth which runs a particular Internet application – and students, given equipment and tools, would provide the appropriate connectivity for the application to run successfully.
