List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Install and manage network protocols | 1.1 Select, test and validate appropriate network protocol services 1.2 Design a network addressing system, with subnet and host IDs, including appropriate devices 1.3 Configure hosts and workstations to use IP addresses either manually or through automatic allocation of addresses, such as found with dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) |
2. Identify network protocol applications | 2.1 Review a range of well-known network protocol applications 2.2 Evaluate client user requirement and recommend network protocol services 2.3 Apply internet protocol (IP) addressing scheme according to approved policy and procedures |
Evidence of the ability to:
configure, test and validate network protocols in order to facilitate interconnectivity
install and manage network protocols in a network, and troubleshoot problems.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
describe the client business domain, including client organisation structure and business functionality
list current communications technologies and their associated protocols
outline current industry accepted hardware and software products, and general features and capabilities
summarise network protocols currently in use in the organisation and industry, including:
transmission control protocol
internet protocol (TCP/IP)
OSI models
clarify the vendor product range and development directions
describe how network protocols transcend organisational size and network complexity.
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the network industry, and include access to:
a live network
application software and operating system
appropriate learning and assessment support when required
networked computers
organisational guidelines
technical documentation and installation manuals
vendor software.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
