Release 1

This version first released with ICT Information and Communications Technology Training Package Version 1.0.

Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge necessary to plan, configure and support advanced internet protocol (IP) addressing and routing when implementing scalable and secure routers connected to local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs). The unit also covers configuration of secure routing solutions to support branch offices and mobile workers.

It applies to individuals with advanced information and communications technology (ICT) skills who are working in a variety of roles, including network specialists, network engineers, network infrastructure engineers, senior network administrators, network and systems managers, ICT security specialists, security engineers, communications engineers and communications managers.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

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. Plan, configure and test a complex network-routing protocol solution

1.1 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

1.2 Produce separate protocol implementation plans and verification plans for each routing solution

1.3 Configure and test the routing protocol solution

1.4 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

2.1 Determine network resources needed for implementing IPv6 on a network

2.2 Produce an implementation plan and a verification plan for an IPv6-based network solution

2.3 Configure IPv6 routing and IPv6 interoperation with IPv4

2.4 Verify and test the IPv6 solution and make amendments if necessary

2.5 Document results of IPv6 implementation and verification plans

3. Plan, configure and test an IPv4 or IPv6-based network redistribution solution

3.1 Produce an IPv4 or IPv6 redistribution implementation plan and verification plan, based on the outcomes of a network redistribution analysis

Modification History

Release 

Comments 

Release 1

This version first released with ICT Information and Communications Technology Training Package Version 1.0.

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

  • plan, configure and support advanced routed network infrastructure
  • use network tools
  • plan and analyse redistribution solutions
  • produce and configure layer 3 path control implementation plan
  • provide solutions to static and dynamic routing issues together with optimisation strategies.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.

Knowledge Evidence

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

  • explain broadband technologies relevant to advanced internetworking routing solutions
  • summarise business justifications for having integrated and unified enterprise networks
  • outline emerging viable business and social technologies
  • clarify external developments or factors that affect network design
  • summarise IPv4 and IPv6 technologies and solutions
  • outline maintenance and management tools and practices suitable for complex networks to achieve availability and resilience
  • summarise network topologies
  • explain regulations, standards and certifications relevant to advanced internetworking routing solutions
  • explain risk management strategies and practices suitable for a complex network environment
  • outline routing tables, protocols and operational processes
  • summarise routing technologies for an enterprise environment
  • summarise security for enterprise networks
  • explain security standards and technologies for network environments
  • outline the benefits of formal or structured approaches to network management
  • summarise virtual private network (VPN) technologies.

Assessment Conditions

Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the networking industry, and include access to:

  • a site where network installation may be conducted
  • router hardware and software
  • organisational guidelines
  • computers
  • local area network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN) systems.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
