Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to use software tools, equipment, software and protocols to configure and troubleshoot network routers.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement but users should confirm requirements with the relevant federal, state or territory authority.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Plan to apply routing protocols
- 1.1. Prepare for given work according to occupational health and safety (OHS) and environmental requirements with appropriate personnel
- 1.2. Identify safety hazards and implement risk control measures in consultation with appropriate personnel
- 1.3. Determine nature and scope of the network and network routing requirements from job briefs and appropriate personnel
- 1.4. Determine hardware and software diagnostic test methodologies and testing resources according to enterprise procedures
- 1.5. Obtain operating instructions, manuals, hardware and software testing methodologies
- 1.6. Consult appropriate personnel to ensure the task is coordinated effectively with others involved at the worksite
2. Build and test advanced routing
- 2.1. Set up router interfaces according to manufacturer's specifications and established procedures
- 2.2. Implement advanced routing protocols to achieve network design requirements
- 2.3. Implement classless addressing across a network to perform logical connectivity and confirm using calculations
- 2.4. Troubleshoot network routing according to manufacturer's specifications and established procedures
- 2.5. Identify security threats and initiate control measures according to enterprise procedures
3. Complete and document advanced router installation
- 3.1. Restore worksite to safe condition according to established safety procedures
- 3.2. Record and store essential installation information according to enterprise procedures
- 3.3. Notify appropriate personnel about the completion of the task according to enterprise procedures

EVIDENCE GUIDE
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 network routing requirements to meet design specification
configure advanced protocols on network routers
manage network addressing
troubleshoot the network
install network security.
Context of, and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure:
a network facility and workstations
tools, equipment and materials currently used in industry
relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials.
Methods 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 applying advance routing protocols
review documentation of network routing requirements and router installation prepared by the candidate
oral or written questioning to assess required knowledge.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example with:
ICTTEN2209A Build and maintain a secure network
ICTTEN4213A Configure and troubleshoot advanced network switching
ICTTEN4214A Install and maintain a wide area network.
Aboriginal people and other people from a non-English speaking background may have second language issues.
Access must be provided to appropriate learning and assessment support when required.
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and appropriate to the oral communication skill level, and language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.
In all cases where practical assessment is used it will be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency.
Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with special needs.
