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:

produce a design report for a server (or servers) with complex user and network service requirements

install and configure the server according to the produced design

monitor and test the server

troubleshoot server and network failures

configure a wide range of server network and security services, including:

domain name system (DNS)

dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP)

web and proxy mail

file transfer protocol (FTP)

firewall.

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:

describe the key features of current network operating systems (NOS)

identify and describe current server applications compatibility issues and resolution procedures

discuss network service configuration, including:

domain name system (DNS)

dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP)

file transfer protocol (FTP)

mail

network time protocol (NTP)

proxy

server messages block (SMB)

web

describe common network service management, including:

start

stop

restart

start on boot

identify and describe network service security features, including server firewall configuration

identify and summarise troubleshooting tools and techniques, including network diagnostic utilities

describe common operating system installation and operation issues, including:

installation media:

CD

DVD

universal serial bus (USB)

boot disk

network and script (automated install)

deployment services

boot process and diagnosing boot failures

operating system rescue environment

operating system help and support utilities

performance monitoring tools and tuning options

compatibility issues and resolution procedures

high availability options for servers

file and print management

describe data security and storage measures required on a networked server, including:

user authentication and directory services

best practice procedures for implementing backup and recovery

error and event logging and reporting

storage options, including file systems and disk partitioning schemes

describe the process of managing a project, including:

documentation skills required for networks

process or task management

task scheduling utilities.

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 network industry, and include access to:

a site where server installation may be conducted

relevant server specifications

cabling

networked (LAN) computers

server diagnostic software

switching equipment

client requirements

wide area network (WAN) service point of presence

workstations

relevant regulatory documentation that affects installation activities.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
