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 ICTTEN6172A, 'Design and configure an IP-MPLS network with virtual private network tunnelling'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Design and configure an IP-MPLS network with virtual private network tunnelling' 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 |
1. Plan and design a IP-MPLS network to meet business requirements | 1.1. Determine the IP-MPLS network design requirements in consultation with enterprise customer 1.2. Optimise factors affecting design 1.3. Use label stacking to route MPLS packets in the network to build of MPLS services 1.4. Dimension layer-3 generation of core backbone to allow MPLS IP-VPN to provide MPLS convergence services 1.5. Use MPLS control plane to set up wavelengths 1.6. Produce the design topology of a MPLS network to include the location and types of edge label switch routers (LSR) and core LSRs in agreement with enterprise customer |
2. Configure a MPLS network and verify traffic engineering (TE) considerations | 2.1. Configure edge and core LSRs to provide secure methods of transporting IP packets in the MPLS network using layer 2 protocols 2.2. Configure the LSRs to provide toll bypass for convergence of voice and data over the IP network 2.3. Classify traffic in MPLS terms and configure the Edge LSR to sort traffic into forward equivalent classes (FECs) 2.4. Install and remove the two standardised signalling protocols for managing traffic engineering (TE) of MPLS paths 2.5. Configure the MPLS-TE to provide routing on diverse paths to avoid congestion and guarantee bandwidth services |
3. Configure a VPN and provide a virtual private LAN service (VPLS) | 3.1. Configure a MPLS VPN tunnel for a customer network to provide multipoint-to-multipoint VPN connectivity 3.2. Build a content hosting server into a MPLS based VPN to produce a media network 3.3. Use virtual private LAN services (VPLS) as a VPN method for wide area network (WAN) multipoint-to-multipoint Ethernet connectivity spanning across multiple metropolitan areas 3.4. Produce a VPLS topology using an internet protocol IP-MPLS cloud with provider edge (PE) routers connecting VPLS domains associated with enterprise customer |
4. Complete documentation | 4.1. Produce a final design plan including network elements, configuration details and recommendations for design changes 4.2. Notify customer and obtain sign off |
