Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to plan, configure and support advanced enterprise switching. The unit also covers secure integration of virtual local area networks (VLANs), wireless local area networks (WLANs), voice and video into campus networks.It applies to individuals with advanced information and communications technology (ICT) skills who are working in a variety of roles, including network specialists, network engineers, network infrastructure engineers, senior network administrators, network and systems managers, ICT security specialists, security engineers, communications engineers and communications managers.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Plan, configure and test a VLAN-based solution
  • 1.1 Determine network resources required for implementing a VLAN-based solution for a given network design and requirements
  • 1.2 Produce an implementation plan and a verification plan for the VLAN-based network solution
  • 1.3 Configure and verify switch-to-switch connectivity, loop prevention and access ports for the VLAN-based solution using network tools
  • 1.4 Document results of the VLAN implementation and verification plans
2. Plan, configure and test a secure layer 2 network solution and a switch-based layer 3 services solution
  • 2.1 Determine network resources required for implementing a secure layer 2 network solution and a switch-based layer 3 solution against vulnerabilities with organisational security policies
  • 2.2 Produce an implementation plan and a verification plan for each of the layer 2 and layer 3 network solution
  • 2.3 Configure and verify a private VLAN and features for port security and general switch security for the layer 2 network solution, using network tools
  • 2.4 Configure and verify routing interfaces and layer 3 security for the switch-based layer 3 network solution, using network tools
  • 2.5 Document results of security implementation and verification plans for each of the layer 2 and the layer 3 network solution
3. Prepare infrastructure to support advanced services
  • 3.1 Implement a wireless extension of a layer 2 solution
  • 3.2 Implement a support solution for a voice over internet protocol (VoIP) and a video application
4. Plan, configure and test high-availability networks using multilayer switches solution
  • 4.1 Determine network resources needed for implementing high-availability solution for a given network design and requirements
  • 4.2 Produce an implementation plan and a verification plan for the high-availability network, using multilayer switches
  • 4.3 Configure, verify and manage first hop redundancy protocols (FHRP)
  • 4.4 Implement switch supervisor redundancy and use network tools to verify the high-availability solution
  • 4.5 Document results of high-availability implementation and verification plans
