Task 1 - TCP/IP Network installation
This assessment task requires the installation, configuration and testing of an IP network including:
• planning and preparing for the IP network installation task
• selecting network elements to meet client's business specifications
• installing, configuring and testing network elements to ensure interoperability within the network
• applying network topologies, protocols and security issues
• applying solutions to defined network problems.
The network specification and specific issues to be addressed will be provided by your Assessor. The network will include a file server and 2 workstations as a minimum. The installation may be Linux, Apple of Windows based depending on your practice environment and the specification for the network.
Aside from the installation, you will need to create and complete:
1. The whole network installation summary sheet (Attached following)
2. A hardware register
3. Details of network configuration
4. Details of patch panel connections
5. Network user guide
6. Network test and completion summary
7. A project sign-off document that allows the client to sign off on the project and so move it into a maintenance schedule.
In order to satisfactorily complete this task, you will need to access:
• a site where network installation may be conducted
• field measurement equipment currently used in industry
• network design documentation
• equipment specifications
• network components
• hardware and software
• a live network
• organisational guidelines
• networked (LAN) computers
• a wide area network (WAN) service point of presence.
