6.0 Assessment Tasks
Assessment Task 1:
Assessment Task Analyse Business Requirements
Outcomes Assessed
Performance Criteria:
1.1, 1.2, 1.3
Addresses some elements of performance evidence and
knowledge evidence as shown in the Assessment Matrix
Description:
This is a scenario‐based task that simulates a real‐life business situation. As you will be working in a classroom and
lab environment, you will be provided with a business background/profile to develop the required business context.
For simulation purpose, you will play the role of a Network Analyst working for an IT consulting firm. Your
traine
assessor will play the role of the client where required and provide you with the required information and
feedback.
Your cu
ent institute/college is provided as the case organisation. Use the following information for your reference;
Business Scenario:
ALTEC is a Registered Training Organisation providing a range of vocation and higher education courses to local and
international students. ALTEC’s campus is spanned over two floors of a modern St Kilda Road building, and used by
approximately 800 students and 40 staff members.
ALTEC has two dedicated wired networks for administrative/academic and student services respectively. Print, scan,
email, and internet services are shared across the networks. The college uses its own intranet as a communications
channel, content repository, and an application sharing tool that supports day‐to‐day college activities. The college
uses separate email/data, file and print, database, and legacy servers.
With a view to expand its educational services in higher education, ALTEC has decided to add an additional floor to
its existing campus (ground and first floor). An entire second floor has been leased; and is being fitted out for
academic operations. There are also plans to use a part of the floor as an administrative area. With a view to
segregate its academic operations, ALTEC’s plan for the campus is;
Vocational Course
Ground and First Floor
Higher Education Courses
Second Floor
As the new floor will need to be connected with the existing network, the college has hired services of Bytes
Consultancy to plan and upgrade its existing network. In particular, the college requires that;
1. Two core backbones separating staff and student/visitor access and traffic
2. Different access levels and services across different floors
3. Integrated voice, video, network management, and routing traffic (over VPN)
4. User and department‐based control lists and traffic shaping

5. An out–of–band network to access and manage the devices
6. Three distinct connection layers of;
a. Student Administration
. Internet
c. Remote Access
7. Future scalability to an enterprise WAN
You have been given the task to conduct a meeting with the client (traine
assessor role‐play) and confirm the
organisational requirements.
Task
1. Conduct a meeting with the client and confirm specific requirements, including information about the cu
ent
network infrastructure
2. Draw a cu
ent network diagram and identify existing network components
3. Research and develop a solution for the new requirements
4. Draw a proposed physical network topology diagram
5. Draw a proposed logical network topology diagram
6. Briefly explain how the proposed design will meet business requirements
The document should be word‐processed and written as a formal business document with appropriate section
headings and references. Ensure that you maintain effective communication and consultation with the client
(traine
assessor role play).

Addresses some elements of performance evidence and
knowledge evidence as shown in the Assessment Matrix
Description:
Continuing in the same role as in the previous assessment task, assume that the solutions proposed by you have
een accepted and you have been asked to develop an implementation plan for installation of the required network
at the college.
An implementation plan lists all the tools
esources required for installation and identifies/outlines key tasks in a
step‐by‐step format within the given time frame.
