National Element Code & Title:

UEENEED014B Design and manage enterprise networks

Performance Criteria:

1.1 OHS processes and procedures for a given work area are identified, obtained and understood.
1.2 The extent of the network to be designed is determined from design brief and/or in consultation with appropriate persons
1.3 Business requirements of the enterprise are analysed taking into account existing and projected business model, organisational and Information Technology management structures.
1.4 Consideration is given to factors that will have an impact on the design such as business priorities, growth, growth strategy, regulatory framework, risk, and cost.
1.5 Existing and planned technical and environment goals of the enterprise are evaluated and documented.
1.6 Consideration is given to technical factors that will have an impact on the design.
1.7 Client access and end-user needs and usage patterns and disaster recovery requirements are evaluated and documented.
1.8 Design specification is written using information obtained from the analysis and evaluations of enterprise business and technical requirements
1.9 Network specification is presented and discussed with person(s) of higher authority.
1.10 Alterations to the network specification resulting from the presentation/discussion are negotiated with person(s) of higher authority within the constraints of organisation’s policy.

Performance Criteria:

2.1 Knowledge and complexities of alternative network infrastructures and currently available technologies are applied to network design.
2.2 Network design is developed to incorporate all required Wide Area Network (WAN) infrastructure, Internet connectivity and implementation and management strategies.
2.3 Risk management strategies are sought and obtained for incorporating into the network design.
2.4 Network design is reviewed against all inputs and adjusted to rectify any anomalies.

2.5 Network design proposal is documented in accordance with organisation policies and procedures.
2.6 Network design is presented and discussed with person(s) of higher authority.
2.7 Alterations to the network design resulting from the presentation/discussion are negotiated with person(s) of higher authority within the constraints of organisation’s policy.
2.8 Final design is documented and approval obtained from appropriate person(s).

Performance Criteria:

3.1 OHS risk control measures and procedures for carrying out the work are followed.
3.2 Server and client computer hardware are installed and configures in compliance with design specifications and network industry standards.
3.3 User and Group objects objects are created and group policy implemented.
3.4 Directory services, data storage, shared resources Internet information services, remote access and network security are managed to ensure effective
operation of the network.
3.5 Approaches to issues/problems are analysed to provide most effective solutions. 3.6 Quality of work is monitored against personal performance agreement and/or established organisational or professional standards.
