PERFORMANCE CRITERIA 

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Prepare to install a medium enterprise router

1.1 Prepare for given work, according to legislation, workplace health and safety (WHS), codes, regulations and standards

1.2 Arrange the access to the network facility, according to the required procedures

1.3 Review the existing network design documentation to ensure that it is current and complete

1.4 Select the network elements required to be installed, to meet the technical requirements

1.5 Contact vendors and service suppliers to obtain the specifications, and determine the availability of the identified components

1.6 Develop plans, with prioritised tasks and contingency arrangements, for the installation of components with minimum disruptions to the client

1.7 Liaise with the appropriate person to obtain approval for the plans, including security and timing

2. Configure the basic router operation

2.1 Determine the basic routing requirements

2.2 Determine the router operating parameters

2.3 Select the appropriate media, cables, ports, and connectors to connect routers to other network devices and hosts

2.4 Access and use the router to set basic parameters

2.5 Upgrade the firmware on a router

2.6 Save and back up the router configuration files

2.7 Implement basic router security

2.8 Configure the static and default routes

3. Configure, and verify, the dynamic classless routing protocols

3.1 Determine the appropriate classless addressing scheme, using variable length subnet mapping (VLSM) and summarisation to satisfy addressing requirements in a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN) environment

3.2 Calculate and apply an addressing scheme, including a VLSM internet protocol (IP) addressing design, to a network

3.3 Configure and verify, the classless routing protocols

4. Apply sound troubleshooting processes to determine network connectivity

4.1 Troubleshoot the device configuration and network connectivity using basic utilities

4.2 Identify and correct, common problems associated with IP addressing and host configurations

4.3 Perform basic troubleshooting principles to verify the network’s operation

Description 

Reading

1.2, 1.3

• Gathers, interprets and analyses technical and regulatory information, to determine the requirements according to client needs

Writing

1.5

• Uses factual information and industry-related terminology, to convey information to internal and external personnel on technical, operational and business-related matters

Oral Communication

1.5, 1.7, 2.1, 2.2

• Uses specific and relevant language to clearly describe and explain, a range of technical, operational and business-related matters, with internal and external personnel

Navigate the world of work

1.1

• Appreciates the implications of legal and regulatory responsibilities related to own work

Get the work done

1.1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3

• Reflects on the ways in which digital systems and tools are, or could be, used to achieve work goals, and begins to recognise strategic and operational applications
• Uses digital technologies and systems safely and securely, when implementing and monitoring a system, with a growing awareness of the permanence and transparency of all activities
• Uses a combination of formal, logical planning processes, and an increasingly intuitive understanding of context to plan, prioritise and monitor own work, and coordinate processes, in liaison with others
• Makes decisions in relatively complex situations, taking a range of factors into consideration
• When dealing with complex issues, may use intuition to identify the general problem area, switching to analytical processes to clarify goals and key issues, and uses lateral thinking processes to generate possible solutions
