Computer Networks and Security Laboratory

The Computer Networks and Security Laboratory consists of two rooms (B3-230 and B3-231) with a total construction area of 125 m² + 144 m² = 269 m², providing 48 + 56 = 104 computer seats divided into 8 large groups. Founded in 2006, the laboratory underwent an upgrade and renovation at the end of 2012, replacing all network hardware equipment and software related to the experimental teaching of courses such as Computer Networks, Network Engineering and Network Management, and Network Engineering Design. The updated equipment includes routers, Layer 2 switches, Layer 3 switches, network controllers, topology connectors, cabinets, wireless APs, as well as software for laboratory centralized management, network management, and access control.

Moreover, equipment and software related to experimental teaching of information security courses and high-performance computing courses have been newly added, including hardware such as firewalls and VPNs, intrusion prevention systems, information security audit tools, security scanners, attack and defense training platforms, high-performance and distributed computing servers, and gigabit network switches, as well as software like the internal network security and confidentiality comprehensive management system.

This laboratory mainly undertakes the experimental teaching of undergraduate courses (e.g., Computer Networks, Computer Network Security, Network Engineering and Network Management, Cryptography and Security Protocols, Computer Security, Network Engineering Technology, High-Performance Computing and Cloud Computing, Software Security, PKI Principles and Technology, Information Content Security) and postgraduate courses (e.g., Advanced Computer Networks).
