Location - ECC – 601
Opening Hours - 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM
Purpose of this laboratory
The Network Laboratory is a research room for students interested in network systems, offering workshops for members and those eager to learn about network systems and basic computer operating systems. The lab provides hands-on training on essential network devices, including virtual machines, switches, routers, wireless routers, and Adaptive Security Appliances (ASA), enabling students to gain practical experience in configuring, managing, and troubleshooting network infrastructures. This environment allows students to develop their skills in areas such as network security, system administration, and network design through real-world simulations and experiments.
