Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge necessary to plan, configure and support advanced internet protocol (IP) addressing and routing when implementing scalable and secure routers connected to local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs). The unit also covers configuration of secure routing solutions to support branch offices and mobile workers.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Plan, configure and test a complex network-routing protocol solution
- 1.1 Determine network resources required for implementing a complex distance-vector routing protocol solution, a multi-area link-state routing protocol solution and an exterior routing protocol solution on a network
- 1.2 Produce separate protocol implementation plans and verification plans for each routing solution
- 1.3 Configure and test the routing protocol solution
- 1.4 Document results of the routing protocol solution implementation and verification plans for each solution
2. Plan, configure and test an internet protocol version 6 (IPv6) based network solution
- 2.1 Determine network resources needed for implementing IPv6 on a network
- 2.2 Produce an implementation plan and a verification plan for an IPv6-based network solution
- 2.3 Configure IPv6 routing and IPv6 interoperation with IPv4
- 2.4 Verify and test the IPv6 solution and make amendments if necessary
- 2.5 Document results of IPv6 implementation and verification plans
3. Plan, configure and test an IPv4 or IPv6-based network redistribution solution
- 3.1 Produce an IPv4 or IPv6 redistribution implementation plan and verification plan based on the outcomes of a network redistribution analysis
- 3.2 Configure and verify the redistribution solution for the network
- 3.3 Document results of redistribution, implementation and verification plans
- 3.4 Analyse the differences between implementing an IPv4 and an IPv6 redistribution solution
4. Plan, configure and test a layer 3 path control solution
- 4.1 Produce a layer 3 path control implementation plan and a verification plan based on the outcomes of a network redistribution analysis
- 4.2 Configure and verify layer 3 path control for the network
- 4.3 Implement basic teleworker and branch services
- 4.4 Evaluate and compare broadband technologies and VPN technologies in terms of access and data transfer rate as solutions for secure broadband network

The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the ability to:
plan, configure and support advanced routed network infrastructure
use network tools
plan and analyse redistribution solutions
produce and configure layer 3 path control implementation plan
provide solutions to static and dynamic routing issues together with optimisation strategies.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure access to:
site where network installation may be conducted
router hardware and software
organisational guidelines
computers
LAN and WAN systems
appropriate learning and assessment support when required
modified equipment for people with special needs.
Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
direct observation of the candidate installing, configuring and testing a new or updated network
evaluation of documentation outlining testing procedures, test results, recommendation to network changes and completion records
verbal or written questioning of required knowledge.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, where appropriate.
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and suitable to the communication skill level, language, literacy and numeracy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.
Indigenous people and other people from a non-English speaking background may need additional support.
In cases where practical assessment is used it should be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge.
