Open Networks v2.0

Introduction

The Open Networks Course originally developed by UOC/Enric Peig Olivé as PID_00164576 had become dated. I have undertaken a project to re-develop the course.

Course Module

The course module itself is described already in the FTA Network Technologies course module.

Course Materials

Student Manual

The v2.0.3 2nd release materials are available to review at: FTA Open Networks Manual v2.0.3.

The source material is available at: FTA Open Networks Manual v2.0.3

Study Guide

The v2.0 study guide is available to at FTA Open Networks Study Guide
