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 VLAN-based solution

1.1 Determine network resources required for implementing a VLAN-based solution for a given network design and requirements

1.2 Produce an implementation plan and a verification plan for the VLAN-based network solution

1.3 Configure and verify switch-to-switch connectivity, loop prevention and access ports for the VLAN-based solution using network tools

1.4 Document results of the VLAN implementation and verification plans

2. Plan, configure and test a secure layer 2 network solution and a switch-based layer 3 services solution

2.1 Determine network resources required for implementing a secure layer 2 network solution and a switch-based layer 3 solution against vulnerabilities with organisational security policies

2.2 Produce an implementation plan and a verification plan for each of the layer 2 and layer 3 network solution

2.3 Configure and verify a private VLAN and features for port security and general switch security for the layer 2 network solution, using network tools

2.4 Configure and verify routing interfaces and layer 3 security for the switch-based layer 3 network solution, using network tools

2.5 Document results of security implementation and verification plans for each of the layer 2 and the layer 3 network solution

3. Prepare infrastructure to support advanced services

3.1 Implement a wireless extension of a layer 2 solution

3.2 Implement a support solution for a voice over internet protocol (VoIP) and a video application

4. Plan, configure and test high-availability networks using multilayer switches solution

4.1 Determine network resources needed for implementing high-availability solution for a given network design and requirements

Performance Criteria 

Description 

Reading

2.1, 4.1

• Recognises and interprets complex technical design information to determine and confirm job requirements

Writing

1.2, 1.4, 2.2, 2.5, 4.1, 4.2, 4.5

• Develops a broad range of material, including operational, technical, procedural and project management documentation for a specific audience, using clear and detailed language to convey explicit information, requirements and recommendations

Navigate the world of work

2.1

• Recognises and responds to both explicit and implicit protocols within familiar work contexts and appreciates the importance of identifying and responding to protocols in new situations

Interact with others

1.1, 2.1, 4.1

• Collaborates with others, sharing information
• Elicits feedback and provides feedback to others in order to improve

Get the work done

1.1, 1.3, 2.1, 2.3, 2.4, 3.1, 3.2, 4.1, 4.3, 4.4

• Demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of principles, concepts, language and practices associated with the digital world and uses these to troubleshoot and understand the uses and potential of new technology
• Uses a broad range of strategies to store, access and organise virtual information, recognising that design choices will influence what information is retrieved and how it may be interpreted and used
• Is acutely aware of the importance of understanding, monitoring and controlling access to digitally stored and transmitted information
• May operate from a broad conceptual plan to identify functional, performance and management features associated with the operation of complex switched networks
• Uses nuanced understanding of context to solve problems in complex and dynamic environments with demanding service levels
