Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Plan, configure and test a complex network-routing protocol solution
   • Determine network resources required for implementing a complex distance-vector routing protocol solution, a multi-area link-state routing protocol solution and an exterior routing protocol solution on a network
   • Produce separate protocol implementation plans and verification plans for each routing solution
   • Configure and test the routing protocol solution
   • Document results of the routing protocol solution implementation and verification plans for each solution
2. Plan, configure and test an internet protocol version 6- (IPv6) based network solution
   • Determine network resources needed for implementing IPv6 on a network
   • Produce an implementation plan and a verification plan for an IPv6-based network solution
   • Configure IPv6 routing and IPv6 interoperation with IPv4
   • Verify and test the IPv6 solution and make amendments if necessary
   • Document results of IPv6 implementation and verification plans
3. Plan, configure and test an IPv4 or IPv6-based network redistribution solution
   • Produce an IPv4 or IPv6 redistribution implementation plan and verification plan, based on the outcomes of a network redistribution analysis
   • Configure and verify the redistribution solution for the network
   • Document results of redistribution, implementation and verification plans
   • Analyse the differences between implementing an IPv4 and an IPv6 redistribution solution
4. Plan, configure and test a layer 3 path control solution
   • Produce a layer 3 path control implementation plan and a verification plan based on the outcomes of a network redistribution analysis
   • Configure and verify layer 3 path control for the network
   • Implement basic teleworker and branch services
   • Evaluate and compare broadband technologies and VPN technologies in terms of access and data transfer rate as solutions for secure broadband network
