TEACHING STRATEGIES FOR THIS UNIT

Lectures, class discussions, research activities, demonstrations, hands-on practical exercises.

Lectures and class discussions in class will mainly be for the theory topics. The trainer will introduce
the topics and initiate interactivity as the discussion progresses through a particular session in the
class. Lectures are used to cover concepts and techniques of Routing and routing protocols such as
RIP, EIGRP and OSPF.

Research activities will be incorporated in practical assessment. These activities will entail
information gathering from various sources, including the Internet, and writing a report on a given
topic. Trainers are required to guide students and help them in research online and from the
resources provided.

Demonstrations will mainly be during practical sessions. The trainer will show how to carry out a
particular information technology (IT) task, e.g. how to configure EIGRP The students can do this
with the tutor as the demonstration progresses.

Hands-on practical exercises are intended for students to practice the IT tasks demonstrated by the
tutor. There are four weekly laboratory sessions, starting from Week 1.

Practical sessions will involve using tools to configure router, switches and server.

The trainer is required to explain the software resources that are used in this unit.

1) Packet Tracer

This software is required to be installed on a desktop or laptop. A demonstration would be

required as how packet tracer works and how we can connect routers, switches and PC.

TYPES OF EVIDENCE
AIBT ensures that assessment is carried out in accordance with the requirements of the unit and the
standards and will implement an assessment process which identifies the evidence required for each
unit of competency. They will identify the type of evidence and the assessment methods used.

Types of evidence include:

 Direct Evidence – things that the assessor, observes first-hand, e.g., observation or work
samples

 Indirect Evidence – things that someone else has observed and reported to us, e.g., third
party reports

 Supplementary Evidence – other things that can indicate performance, such as training
records, questions, written work, portfolios

Assessment methods include:

 Written Activity

 Observation/Demonstration

 Practical Activity

 Questions

The assessment must comply with the assessment methods of the training package and be
conducted in accordance with the Principles of Assessment and assessment conditions. This means
the assessment must be fair, flexible, reliable and valid.

CONTEXTUALISING ASSESSMENT
Some units of competency are designed to be used across a number of qualifications and a range of
industry sectors. Delivery and assessment may need to be contextualized to meet the individual
requirements of the industry, the workplace and the cohort of students. Contextualizing assessment
can be difficult. To aid you in doing so and deciding on the outcome of your learners, this assessor
guide contains the benchmark answers and a mapping guide.

The assessments contain the performance criteria and knowledge and performance evidence that
the student should be displaying. If you are unsure whether they are displaying the relevant
information, you should refer to the benchmark answers and mapping guide.

9
ICTNWK542– Install Operate and Troubleshoot medium enterprise routers.

A result of competent or not yet competent is determined for the unit as a whole. Individual parts of
the assessment can be assessed as satisfactory or not satisfactory. Competency should only be
determined once all assessment activities are deemed satisfactory.

Giving a learner a not yet competent for a unit code must be justifiable and requires you to do
ensure that the performance criteria haven’t been met in a satisfactory way.

ASSESSMENT GUIDE
The following table shows you how to achieve a satisfactory result against the criteria for each type
of assessment task. The following is a list of general assessment methods that can be used in
assessing a unit of competency. Check your assessment tasks to identify the ones used in this unit of

ICTNWK542 Q&A

1. Briefly define the following classless routing protocols (For each you are to describe what does
the acronym mean, what algorithm it uses, what IPV4 multicast IP addresses each protocol use, what
are the limitations of each protocol).
 OSPF
 RIPV2

=> The solution to this question is given below:-

A. OSPF (open shortest path first):

Abbreviations:

OSPF stands for Open Shortest Path First.

algorithm:

OSPF uses Dijkstra's algorithm to calculate the shortest path in the network.

13
ICTNWK542– Install Operate and Troubleshoot medium enterprise routers.

Multicast IP address:

OSPF uses the multicast IP address 224.0.0.5 for all OSPF routers and 224.0.0.6 for all
designated OSPF routers.

limit:

OSPF limitations are as follows:

1. Large networks have high computing and storage requirements.

2. The complexity of configuration and troubleshooting.

3. Reliance on reliable network connectivity with link-state database synchronization.

B.RIPV2 (Routing Information Protocol version 2):

Acronyms:

RIPV2 stands for Routing Information Protocol version 2.

algorithm:

RIPV2 uses the Bellman-Ford algorithm, specifically the distance vector algorithm, for
routing decisions.

Multicast IP address:

RIPV2 does not use multicast IP addresses for normal operations.

However, it uses 224.0.0.9 to update the RIPv2 route in some implementations.

boundary:

Some limitations of RIPV2 include:

1. Convergence time can be slow in large networks due to its periodic routing updates.

2. Limited scalability in complex networks.

3. Inefficient use of network bandwidth due to frequent routing updates.

14
ICTNWK542– Install Operate and Troubleshoot medium enterprise routers.

2. Briefly Explain OSI model (name and explain each layer of OSI model in brief)

=> The Open System Interconnection (OSI) model is a conceptual framework that helps
understand how protocols and network systems communicate with each other.

It consists of seven classes, each with its specific functions and responsibilities.

Here is a brief explanation of each class:

1. Physical layer:

The physical layer is responsible for transmitting and receiving raw bit streams over physical
media, such as cable or wireless signals. It deals with the physical characteristics of the network,
such as voltage levels, connectors, and data rates. Examples of devices:- Ethernet cable, hub,
repeater.

2. Data transmission level:

The data link layer provides reliable point-to-point data transmission between two nodes
connected on the same physical network segment. It handles error detection, and flow
control, and manages access to physical media. Device example:- Ethernet switch, bridge.

3. Network layer:

The network layer controls the behavior of subnets and determines the paths that data
packets take through multiple networks from source to destination. It deals with logical
addressing, routing, and fragmentation of data packets. Device example:- Router, IP
(Internet Protocol).

4. Shipping class:

he transport layer provides transparent and reliable data transmission between end
systems. It provides mechanisms for segmentation, reassembly, error control, and flow
control. Examples of protocols:- TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), and UDP (User
Datagram Protocol).

5. Session class:

The session layer establishes, manages, and terminates communication sessions between
applications running on different devices. It provides services such as session establishment,

15
ICTNWK542– Install Operate and Troubleshoot medium enterprise routers.

synchronization, and checkpoints. Function example:- API (application programming

interface).

6. Presentation class:

The presentation layer is responsible for representing, encoding, and compressing data. It ensures
that data exchanged between applications is properly formatted and presented. Function example:-
Encode, compress and convert ASCII to EBCDIC.

7. Application class:

The application layer provides a direct interface to end-user applications and services. It enables
communication between applications and combinations of protocols for tasks such as file transfer,
email, and remote access. Examples of protocols:- HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol), FTP (File
Transfer Protocol), and SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol).

3. Briefly Explain the TCP/IP Model (Name and explain each layer of TCP/IP model in brief)

=> The TCP/IP model is a conceptual framework used to understand and describe how data is
transmitted over the Internet. It consists of four layers, each serving a specific purpose in the
communication process. Let's briefly explain each class:

1. Application layer :

The application layer is the layer closest to the end user and provides services directly to users or
applications. It includes protocols like HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol), SMTP (Simple Mail
Transfer Protocol), FTP (File Transfer Protocol), and DNS (Domain Name System). This class handles
tasks like file transfer, email exchange, web browsing, etc.

2. Transportation layer:

16
ICTNWK542– Install Operate and Troubleshoot medium enterprise routers.

The transport layer ensures reliable and orderly data transmission between devices. It uses TCP
(Transmission Control Protocol) and UDP (User Datagram Protocol). TCP provides reliable,
connection-oriented communication with features such as error recovery, flow control, and
retransmission of lost data. UDP, on the other hand, provides connectionless, unreliable
communication, making it suitable for applications where real-time delivery is more important than
error handling.

2. Internet layer:

The Internet layer is responsible for addressing and routing packets across different networks. It uses
Internet Protocol (IP) to encapsulate data in packets and add source and destination IP addresses.
The internet layer allows devices to locate each other on the network using IP addresses and ensure
that data packets are sent to the correct destination.

4. Link layer:

The link layer, also known as the network interface layer, is responsible for the physical transmission
of data over a particular network medium. It deals with the protocols and technologies that control
the interaction between network equipment and the physical network, such as Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or
DSL. This layer defines how data is formatted, addressed, transmitted, and received over the physical
network.

In summary, the TCP/IP model consists of Application Layer, Transport Layer, Internet Layer, and
Connection Layer. Each layer performs a specific function that facilitates the movement of data
across the Internet, from providing services to end users (application layer) to transferring data over
physical networks (link layer). Understanding the TCP/IP model helps you understand how
communication takes place over computer networks.

4. Explain routing and switching. How business use routing and switching

=> Routing and switching are fundamental components of computer networks, and enterprises rely
on them to ensure efficient and effective communication within their network infrastructure.
Routing:

17
ICTNWK542– Install Operate and Troubleshoot medium enterprise routers.

Routing is the process of determining the best path for a data packet to travel from source to
destination over interconnected networks. Routers are network devices responsible for forwarding
data packets based on certain criteria, such as IP addresses. It analyzes the destination address in
the packet header and uses routing tables to determine how to forward the packet.Routing enables
enterprises to establish efficient communications between different networks or subnets. For
example, if a company has multiple office locations connected by a wide area network (WAN),
routers play an important role in routing data packets between those locations. It looks at the
destination IP address and chooses the best path. In doing so, it considers factors such as network
congestion, connection reliability, and other metrics to ensure that packets reach their intended
destination.

switching:

Switching, on the other hand, is the process of forwarding data packets within a local area network
(LAN). A switch is a network device that connects devices such as computers, servers, printers, and
other network devices in a LAN. It operates at the data link layer (Layer 2) of the TCP/IP model and
uses MAC addresses to make forwarding decisions.When the switch receives a data packet, it looks
at her MAC address in the packet header and consults its MAC address table. This table maps MAC
addresses to the appropriate ports on the switch. Based on this information, the switch decides
which outbound port to forward the packet to, enabling communication between devices within the
same network segment.

5. Explain briefly IPV4. (how many bits, how many octets, list the IP address for all classes,
Explain private and public Ip address .What are private IP address ranges for IPV4)

=> IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4):

18
ICTNWK542– Install Operate and Troubleshoot medium enterprise routers.

IPv4 is the fourth version of the Internet Protocol and is the most widely used protocol for
identifying and addressing devices on networks.It uses a 32-bit address space divided into four dot-
separated octets (groups of 8 bits), giving a total of 4.3 billion unique IP addresses.

IP address class:

IPv4 defines five classes of IP addresses:

A, B, C, D, and E. The class is determined by the range of values in the first octet. The IP address
ranges for each class are:

class a:

The first octet starts with a value between 1 and 126.

example:

10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 or 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255

Class B:

The first octet starts with a value between 128 and 191.

Example: 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255

Class C:

The first octet starts with a value between 192 and 223.

Example: 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255

Class D:

Reserved for multicast addresses.

Example: 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255

Class E:

Reserved for experimental purposes.

Example: 240.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255

Private and public IP addresses:

IPv4 uses private and public IP addresses to distinguish between internal and external networks.

1. Private IP address:

Private IP addresses are used within private networks such as local area networks (LANs) and are not
directly accessible from the Internet.
19
ICTNWK542– Install Operate and Troubleshoot medium enterprise routers.

Private IP addresses allow devices on the same network to communicate with each other.

The three private IP address ranges set by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) for IPv4
are:

Class A:

10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255

Class B:

172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255

Class C:

192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255

2. Public IP address:

Devices that are directly connected to the Internet are assigned public IP addresses. Uniquely
identifies your device on the public Internet. Public IP addresses are obtained from your Internet
Service Provider (ISP) and are used for communication between different networks on the Internet.

NOTES: Private IP addresses are not routable on the internet. However, when accessing the internet,
it can be translated to a public IP address through a process called network address translation
(NAT).
In summary, IPv4 is a widely used protocol that uses a 32-bit address space divided into 4 octets. IP
addresses are divided into classes, with the first octet of each class having a specific range of values.
Private IP addresses are used on private networks and are not directly accessible from the Internet.
Public IP addresses, on the other hand, are assigned to devices that connect directly to the Internet
and allow communication between different networks.

6.
I. Convert 192.168.10.30 and 255.255.255.0 to binary

20
ICTNWK542– Install Operate and Troubleshoot medium enterprise routers.

=> To convert an IP address or subnet mask to its binary representation, each octet (group of 8
bits) must be converted to its binary representation.

IP address 192.168.10.30:

Octet 1:

192 => 11000000

Octet 2:

168 => 10101000

Octet 3:

10 => 00001010

Octet 4:

30 => 00011110

In binary, the IP address is 192.168.10.30.

11000000.10101000.00001010.00011110

Subnet mask 255.255.255.0:

Octet 1:

255 => 11111111

Octet 2:

255 => 11111111

Octet 3:

255 => 11111111

Octet 4:

0 => 00000000

In binary, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000

21
ICTNWK542– Install Operate and Troubleshoot medium enterprise routers.

By converting IP addresses and subnet masks to binary values, individual bits can be analyzed
and various network calculations and configurations can be performed as needed.

7. List at least three debug commands you can use for EIGRP

=> There are three debug commands available for debugging Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing
Protocol (EIGRP). Debug commands are useful for troubleshooting network problems and gaining
insight into routing processes. Here are three debug commands commonly used with EIGRP:

1. Debugging the Eigrp package:

This command allows you to debug EIGRP packets and provide detailed information about EIGRP
packets exchanged between routers. Displays EIGRP packet content, including source and
destination IP addresses, EIGRP message type, and other relevant information. This command is
typically used in conjunction with a specific EIGRP process ID or Autonomous System Number (ASN)
to filter the output.

2. Debug Eigrp neighbor:

This command enables EIGRP neighbor relationship debugging. Provides information about
establishing, maintaining, and terminating EIGRP neighbor relationships. When run, it displays
details such as neighbor IP addresses, interface information, EIGRP adjacency events, and error
messages related to neighbor formation. Similarly, this command is often used with a specific EIGRP
process ID or ASN for targeted debugging.

3. Debug eigrp events:

22
ICTNWK542– Install Operate and Troubleshoot medium enterprise routers.

This command allows you to debug EIGRP events and capture important events related to EIGRP
operation. Gain insight into events such as topology changes, route updates, metric changes, route
flaps, and all major EIGRP-related events. This command will help you understand the behavior and
dynamics of t EIGRP in your network.

Be aware that debug commands can generate a large amount of output that can affect router
performance. It is important to use these judiciously and sele and enable debugging only for as long
as necessary to avoid unnecessary network disruption.

NOTES:
The exact syntax and availability of debug commands may vary depending on the router operating
system and software version. We recommend that you refer to your router platform-specific
documentation or command reference for exact command usage.

8. What is router CLI? Explain the following command modes (user EXEC, Privileged EXEC,
Global Configuration, Interface Configuration) and list the appropriate commands that you
would use to enter those modes.

=> The Command Line Interface (CLI) provides a uniform control interface for the router and
can be used to get/set configuration parameters, apply updates, restart services, or perform
other system tasks.

The router CLI provides a text-based interface for manipulating and configuring router
settings.

Command mode:

23
ICTNWK542– Install Operate and Troubleshoot medium enterprise routers.

1. User EXEC mode:

User EXEC "Executive" This mode is the initial mode when accessing the router CLI. Provides
basic access to view router status and perform limited monitoring functions. Prompts usually
end with a ">" symbol. To enter user EXEC mode, simply connect to the router through a
console or Telnet session.

2. Privileged EXEC mode:

Privileged EXEC mode is also called activation mode or privileged mode. This gives you
access to all router commands and allows you to change settings. Privileged EXEC mode
allows more control and requires a password for security. Prompts usually end with a "#"
sign. Enter the enable command followed by the activation password to enter privileged
EXEC mode.

3. Global setting mode:

Global configuration mode allows you to configure various global router settings. B.
Hostnames, interface parameters, routing protocols, security features. In this mode, you can
make changes that affect the entire router. The prompt usually ends with "(config)#". To
enter global configuration mode, use the configure terminal or conf t command from
privileged EXEC mode.

4. Interface configuration mode:

Interface configuration mode is used to configure individual router interfaces. You can
configure interface-specific settings such as IP address, subnet mask, speed, duplex, and
other parameters. The command prompt usually shows the interface name. To enter
interface configuration mode, specify the interface name after the "interface" command. B.
"Interface GigabitEthernet0/1".

Command to enter the mode:

i.User EXEC mode:

Connect to your router using a console or telnet.

ii. Privileged EXEC mode:

PRACTICAL ACTIVITY
ASSESSOR NOTE

These instructions must be followed when assessing the student in this unit. The checklist on the
following page is to be completed for each student. Please refer to separate mapping document
for specific details relating to the alignment of this task to the unit requirements.

This competency is to be assessed using standard and authorized work practices, safety
requirements and environmental constraints. Assessment of essential underpinning knowledge will
usually be conducted in an off-site context. Assessment is to comply with relevant regulatory or
Australian standards' requirements.

Resource implications for assessment include:

 an induction procedure and requirement

 realistic tasks or simulated tasks covering the mandatory task requirements
 relevant specifications and work instructions
 tools and equipment appropriate for applying safe work practices
 support materials appropriate to the activity
 workplace instructions relating to safe work practices and addressing hazards and
emergencies
 material safety data sheets
 research resources, including industry-related systems information.

Reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities must be made to assessment processes where
required. This could include access to modified equipment and other physical resources, and the
provision of appropriate assessment support.

This assessment task requires the student to:

 Create a network diagram

 Implement a VLSM
 Configure security in the routers
 Configure Classless routing protocols
 Troubleshooting of the device
 Implement authentication, authorisation and accounting

This project should be completed with reference to a simulated ICT/Business environment. For the
practice environment, noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical
of those experienced in the ICT project management field of work and include access to:

 relevant computer software packages

 suitable hardware
 codes, standards and legislation relevant to the jurisdiction and the project
 project documentation
 research resources, including product information and data, theoretical texts and other
information.

PRACTICAL ACTIVITY
CASE STUDY

Scenario

You are working as IT Specialist for AIBT Corporation, Sydney. Currently they

Have a flat where they have their HR and the Finance department. As the number has grown
significantly, They have acquired the new building and have placed the Sales and marketing
department in the new building.

Currently AIBT is using the peer-to-peer network consists of eight IBM compatible PCs (Intel Pentium
Duo Core 1.6MHz) running Windows XP and two Canon iR C3080 printers. You have noted that
much of co-axial cabling runs across the floor and are serious OH & S issues.

AIBT has fifteen IBM compatibles PCs (Intel Pentium Duo Core 1.6 MHz), one Hewlett Packard
HP800N Laser and one Hewlett Packard HP4500DN color printer. The IBM PCs are running Windows
7 connected to peer-to-peer using coaxial cables.

You are recommended to connect the two sites so that IT will be easier for them to work. You have
been asked to maintain the basic router security on both the routers. You are also recommended to
install separate file server in the network was approved to allow effective sharing of information
resources and increase security and overall productivity. It is expected that there will be heavy
sharing of data between two offices.

Background
In this activity, you are given a 192.168.72.0 /24 network address to use to design a VLSM addressing
scheme. Based on a set of requirements, you will assign subnets and addressing, configure devices and
verify connectivity.

29
ICTNWK542– Install Operate and Troubleshoot medium enterprise routers.

Task

 Step 1: Determine the number of subnets needed.

 You will subnet the network address 192.168.72.0/24. The network has the following requirements:
  SW-1 will be configured for the HR department which will require 7 host IP addresses
  SW-2 should be configured as the Finance department which will require 15 host IP addresses
  SW-3 should be configured for the marketing department will require 29 host IP addresses
  SW-4 should be configured as the sales department which will require 58 host IP addresses

1. Identify and analyse existing router performance against organisational requirements
