This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to use tools to assist in managing a network effectively.

It applies to individuals who apply technical and specialised knowledge to monitor security and resolve issues for the network.

No licensing, legislative, or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

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. Use command line tools	1.1 Analyse command-line environment 1.2 Differentiate command-line and graphical user interface (GUI) systems 1.3 Identify command-line tools 1.4 Apply command-line tools in GUI environment
2. Use hardware tools	2.1 Identify appropriate hardware tools and their function 2.2 Review work health and safety (WHS) requirements for tool use 2.3 Manage network using hardware tools 2.4 Analyse test results
3. Use software tools	3.1 Identify appropriate software tools for network security 3.2 Determine areas of vulnerability 3.3 Classify function of each tool 3.4 Manage network using software tools 3.5 Analyse test results

Evidence of the ability to:

to manage a network effectively

identify and use appropriate hardware and software tools:

monitor network performance

identify network threats

isolate security breaches.

Note: Evidence must be provided on at least TWO networks or occasions.

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

describe available network tools

explain processes and techniques related to using network tools

analyse key features of the range of attacks that affect network security

discuss key problems and challenges relating to network security.

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 systems administration and support field of work, and include access to:

special purpose tools, equipment and materials

hardware and software tools

security diagnostic software

maintenance procedures

network system.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment task 1: [title]      Due date:

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
