Formats and tools
- Unit Description
- Reconstruct the unit from the xml and display it as an HTML page.
- Assessment Tool
- an assessor resource that builds a framework for writing an assessment tool
- Assessment Template
- generate a spreadsheet for marking this unit in a classroom environment. Put student names in the top row and check them off as they demonstrate competenece for each of the unit's elements and performance criteria.
- Assessment Matrix
- a slightly different format than the assessment template. A spreadsheet with unit names, elements and performance criteria in separate columns. Put assessment names in column headings to track which performance criteria each one covers. Good for ensuring that you've covered every one of the performance criteria with your assessment instrument (all assessement tools together).
- Wiki Markup
- mark up the unit in a wiki markup codes, ready to copy and paste into a wiki page. The output will work in most wikis but is designed to work particularly well as a Wikiversity learning project.
- Evidence Guide
- create an evidence guide for workplace assessment and RPL applicants
- Competency Mapping Template
- Unit of Competency Mapping – Information for Teachers/Assessors – Information for Learners. A template for developing assessments for a unit, which will help you to create valid, fair and reliable assessments for the unit, ready to give to trainers and students
- Observation Checklist
- create an observation checklist for workplace assessment and RPL applicants. This is similar to the evidence guide above, but a little shorter and friendlier on your printer. You will also need to create a seperate Assessor Marking Guide for guidelines on gathering evidence and a list of key points for each activity observed using the unit's range statement, required skills and evidence required (see the unit's html page for details)
- Self Assessment Survey
- A form for students to assess thier current skill levels against each of the unit's performance criteria. Cut and paste into a web document or print and distribute in hard copy.
- Moodle Outcomes
- Create a csv file of the unit's performance criteria to import into a moodle course as outcomes, ready to associate with each of your assignments. Here's a quick 'how to' for importing these into moodle 2.x
- Registered Training Organisations
- Trying to find someone to train or assess you? This link lists all the RTOs that are currently registered to deliver ICTNWK608, 'Configure network devices for a secure network infrastructure'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Configure network devices for a secure network infrastructure' on fishpond.com.au. This online store has a huge range of books, pretty reasonable prices, free delivery in Australia *and* they give a small commission to ntisthis.com for every purchase, so go nuts :)
Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Implement layer 2 security | 1.1 Configure using router operating system (OS) commands to mitigate layer 2 attacks 1.2 Implement identity-based networking services (IBNS) on switches to provide layer 2 security 1.3 Implement identity management using access control system (ACS) as the authentication server |
2. Configure router OS intrusion prevention system (OS-IPS) to mitigate threats to network resources | 2.1 Evaluate the advanced capabilities of router OS-IPS firewall feature set to include event action processing (EAP) for threats to network resources 2.2 Configure and verify IPS features to identify threats and dynamically block them from entering the network 2.3 Maintain, update and tune the IPS signatures 2.4 Configure and verify context-based access control (CBAC) and network address translation (NAT) to dynamically mitigate identified threats to the network 2.5 Configure and verify zone-based firewall (ZFW) to include advanced application inspections and uniform resource locator (URL) filtering for improved network security |
3. Configure virtual private networks (VPNs) to provide secure connectivity for site-to-site and remote access communications | 3.1 Analyse and evaluate internet protocol security (IPSec) and generic routing encapsulation (IPSec/GRE) features and functionality 3.2 Configure secure connectivity for site-to-site VPN using certificate authorities 3.3 Analyse dynamic multipoint VPN (DMVPN) features and capabilities 3.4 Configure and verify secure connectivity for site-to-site VPN operations 3.5 Provide highly secure network access with secure socket layer (SSL) VPN to deliver remote access connectivity features and benefits 3.6 Evaluate EasyVPN benefits and configure EasyVPN server with dynamic virtual tunnel interface (DVTI) to create a virtual access interface on the virtual tunnel interface 3.7 Configure and verify EasyVPN remote to establish a site-to-site connection using both router and VPN software clients 3.8 Implement group-encrypted transport (GET) VPN features to simplify the provisioning and management of VPN |
4. Implement network foundation protection (NFP) | 4.1 Evaluate NFP features and functionality to provide infrastructure protection 4.2 Secure the management plane, the data plane and the control plane using OS features of the router |
