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. Prepare for design and installation of internetwork | 1.1 Prepare for given work according to work health and safety (WHS) 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 internetwork from job briefs and appropriate personnel 1.4 Obtain operating instructions, manuals, hardware and software testing methodologies 1.5 Consult appropriate personnel to ensure the task is coordinated effectively with others involved at the worksite |
2. Design enterprise internetwork | 2.1 Produce enterprise internetwork topology after considering technical requirements, physical and financial constraints and expansion projections 2.2 Determine network devices and network resources, according to enterprise procedures 2.3 Produce internetwork design including network security and router and switch configurations to meet design specifications and enterprise procedures |
3. Install and configure designed internetwork | 3.1 Install network hardware to network topology design plan according to enterprise procedures 3.2 Determine network addressing scheme for network connectivity, and verify using calculations 3.3 Configure routers and switches to perform logical connection of the internetwork 3.4 Conduct connectivity and performance tests to verify network installation meets design specification 3.5 Troubleshoot internetwork and internet connectivity according to manufacturer’s specifications and enterprise procedures |
4.
