    5. Required knowledge Basics of communication networks
    7. Objectives, learning outcomes and obtained knowledge The basic purpose of the "Administrating Computer Networks I." subject is to introduce the practical administration tasks of computer networks - including network planning, network installation and configuration.
    The teaching of the subject seeks to establish the "Administrating Computer Networks II" (VIHIAV97) subject and thus provides adequate theoretical and practical knowledge for the direct application of the study material. The successful completion of the "Administrating Computer Networks II" subject will also provide the knowledge required for acquiring the CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) qualification. The qualification can be obtained independently of the university education, which can be done by passing an exam in a licensed examination center.

    9. Method of instruction The course is held at 4 hours a week under laboratory conditions, which requires the practical application of the theoretical knowledge acquired with home preparation. That is why the subject is heavily built on learning materials acquired at home, preparing for lessons, and elaboration on homeworks. These preparations should be based mainly on the auxiliary materials available online.
    10. Assessment In accordance with the applicable BME Study and Examination Regulations (TVSZ), the terms and conditions for obtaining the subject's signing and mid-year mark are as follows :
    a. During the study period:
    - Participation: Participation in laboratory classes is compulsory. Missing is acceptable up to 2 times (14 training weeks, 4x45 minutes a week, minimum 85% participation). Absences need to be compensated.
    - Entry tests: Preparation for the laboratory work is checked at the beginning of every class. Participation in the class requires at least a satisfactory level of knowledge. The non-performing students can not continue the lesson, which implies a lack of attendance at the classroom, so this should be compensated.
    - Practical Tasks: During the semester, two complex practical exercises should be fulfilled on dedicated classes. One related to module 1, and one to module 2 are held in the middle and at the end of the semester, respectively. At least a satisfactory level of solution of these tasks is required.
    - Midterm tests: During the semester, the writing of 2 midterm tests at a satisfactory level is required. The one related to module 1, and the one to module 2 are held in the middle and at the end of the semester, respectively. The prerequisite of writing the midterm tests is the writing of the entry test in the relevant module at a satisfactory level.
    On the replacement of the above as described requirements refer to "Replacement Options".
    Midterm tests and practical assignments are graded as follows:
     0-49% fail (1)
    50-69% satisfactory (2)
    70-79% fair (3)
    80-89% good (4)
    90-100% excellent (5)
    The grade for the course is calculated on the basis of this evaluation system using the average score of the practical tasks and the midterm tests, when the above conditions are met.

    11. Recaps - Participation and entry tests: Up to 2 replacements can be made for classes missed due to absence or insufficient preparation at the dates designated for replacements (during the study period or during the substitution week). (3 or more absences can not be replaced, it implies to fail to complete the course.)
    - Practical Tasks: At most 1 of the practical tasks can be replaced at the dates designated for replacements (during the study period or during the substitution week), thus at least one of these tasks need to be completed during the semester without the need of replacement.
    - Midterm tests:  At most 1 of the midterm tests can be replaced at the dates designated for replacements (during the study period or during the substitution week), thus at least one of these tests need to be written during the semester without the need of replacement.
    12. Consultations Consultations are provided on demand.
    13. References, textbooks and resources The official CCNA Exploration course curriculum (in English), available online for all students of the course.
