Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to determine the most appropriate way of networking computers to meet user needs and business requirements.It applies to individuals in senior networking roles who are required to plan the most appropriate topology for a proposed network.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Determine user needs
  • 1.1 Identify the different segments of the proposed network based on business requirements
