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 to work on switched network | 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 network and network topology from job briefs or appropriate personnel 1.4 Select and obtain wireless and wired network components requirements according to enterprise procedures 1.5 Obtain operating instructions, manuals, hardware and software testing methodologies 1.6 Consult appropriate personnel to ensure task is coordinated effectively with others involved at the worksite |
2. Configure network switches | 2.1 Set up and configure network switches according to manufacturer’s specifications and enterprise procedures 2.2 Build and configure a routed network using remote access management 2.3 Establish multiple VLANs across the network to manage access and traffic across the network |
3. Troubleshoot network | 3.1 Monitor network traffic and assess performance against manufacturer’s specifications and established procedures 3.2 Troubleshoot network according to manufacturer’s specifications and enterprise procedures 3.3 Identify and rectify faults according to enterprise procedures |
4. Complete and document network installation and configuration | 4.1 Restore worksite to safe condition according to established safety procedures 4.2 Record and store essential configuration information according to enterprise procedures 4.3 Notify appropriate personnel of completion of the task according to enterprise procedures |
Evidence of ability to:
build and configure a routed network
configure a virtual local area networks (VLAN) on a given network topology
configure VLAN trunking and spanning tree protocols
establish VLANs over a wireless network
design and deploy remote access and network security.
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:
outline enterprise work health and safety (WHS) procedures
explain interVLAN routing
describe spanning tree protocol
clarify switch and remote network security management
describe the tool and equipment required, and their correct usage
outline troubleshooting procedures
summarise VLAN trunking protocol
explain wireless local area network (LAN) set-up and access configuration.
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances should be typical of those experienced in the telecommunications networks engineering field of work and include access to:
a site where configuring advanced network switching may be conducted
tools, equipment and materials currently used in industry
relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
