Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Install and manage network protocols
   • Select, test and validate appropriate network protocol services
   • Design a network addressing system, with subnet and host IDs, including appropriate devices
   • 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
   • Review a range of well-known network protocol applications
   • Evaluate client user requirement and recommend network protocol services
   • Apply internet protocol (IP) addressing scheme according to approved policy and procedures
