Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
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
