Evidence Required
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.
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Overview of assessment | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Evidence of the ability to: plan network routing requirements to meet design specification configure advanced protocols on network routers manage network addressing troubleshoot the network install network security. |
Context of, and specific resources for assessment | Assessment must ensure: a network facility and workstations tools, equipment and materials currently used in industry relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials. |
Methods of assessment | A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit: direct observation of the candidate applying advance routing protocols review documentation of network routing requirements and router installation prepared by the candidate oral or written questioning to assess required knowledge. |
Guidance information for assessment | Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example with: ICTTEN2209A Build and maintain a secure network ICTTEN4213A Configure and troubleshoot advanced network switching ICTTEN4214A Install and maintain a wide area network. Aboriginal people and other people from a non-English speaking background may have second language issues. Access must be provided to appropriate learning and assessment support when required. Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and appropriate to the oral communication skill level, and language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed. In all cases where practical assessment is used it will be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency. Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with special needs. |

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.
Required skills |
communication skills to liaise and negotiate with customers and peers to achieve design specifications literacy skills to: develop network documentation and maintain network records read and interpret enterprise procedures, manuals and specifications numeracy skills to interpret technical data planning and organisational skills to plan and prioritise own work problem solving skills to: deal with unexpected situations on the basis of safety and specified work outcomes troubleshoot common network problems according to help desk procedures safety awareness skills to: apply precautions and required action to minimise, control or eliminate hazards that may exist during work activities follow enterprise OHS procedures work systematically with required attention to detail without injury to self or others, or damage to goods or equipment technical skills to: configure network routing interfaces and protocols implement IP addressing schemes and security strategies troubleshoot advanced routing for client networks use software tools and equipment verify routing |
Required knowledge |
distance vector routing protocols RIP v1 and v2 dynamic routing enterprise OHS procedures hybrid routing protocols enhanced interior gateway routing protocol (EIGRP) link-state routing protocols open shortest path first (OSPF) routing and packet forwarding routing tables scalable routing strategies variable length subnet masking (VSLM) and classless inter-domain routing (CIDR) security protocols using access lists static routing use of software tools and equipment |
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. | |
OHS may include: | awards provisions hazardous substances and dangerous goods codes legislation local safe operation procedures material safety management systems protective equipment. |
Environmental requirements may include: | dust excessive energy and water use excessive noise fume gas liquid waste smoke emissions solid waste vapour. |
Appropriate personnel may include: | customer manager network manager site engineer supervisor. |
Network may include: | internetwork LAN WAN. |
Network routing requirements may include: | addressing schemes latency management packet loss protocols security. |
Enterprise procedures may include: | instructions: designs drawings job sheets plans manufacturer's specifications operational procedures reporting and communication use of tools and equipment. |

Essential installation information may include: | configuration installation software IP addressing schemes logical and physical diagrams network administrator codes passwords security access codes troubleshooting reports. |
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.
