Assessment Task 2: Skills Test
This assessment task requires the student to:
• Produce at least two information communications technology (ICT) network
architecture designs.
• Adapt technologies to specified technical solutions.
• Use site design software and hardware.
• Evaluate client specifications against accepted industry practices.
• Produce technical designs from business specifications.
• Analyse feedback from the client and adjust proposals.
• Apply design concepts to business solutions.
• Produce technical reports.
• Make recommendations and offer optimum design solutions.
To do so, you must complete the following activities:
• Activity 1: Obtain work details, specifications and scope from the relevant
personnel and arrange for site access in compliance with required security
arrangements, legislation, codes, regulations and standards.
• Activity 2: Consult with key stakeholders to identify their requirements for the
scoped network architecture design.
• Activity 3: Assess business problems, opportunities and objectives, and confirm
details with relevant personnel.
• Activity 4: Determine hardware, software and network requirements according to
manufacturer specifications.
• Activity 5: Select required software solutions.
• Activity 6: Develop preliminary physical network diagrams as a preface to the
architecture blueprint.
• Activity 7: Produce a document on the possible impact of the network design on
the business requirements.
• Activity 8: Predict forecast traffic demands and impact on network design from
current and future demand requirements.
• Activity 9: Benchmark design using expected performance parameters.
• Activity 10: Review the likely performance profile of the design.
• Activity 11: Determine costs involved with a range of supplier products.
• Activity 12: Produce an evaluation report on predicted performance and costs of
the network architecture design, addressing business specifications and
recommendations.
• Activity 13: Review benchmarks, requirements and final design proposed.
• Activity 14: Determine support and training requirements needed.

,Case Study:
Company profile:
ICT Networks is a leading Australian Cloud and Technology company with capabilities in
full end-to-end enterprise ICT solutions, including public, private and hybrid cloud, global
security fabric, networking and data centre. We remove the complexity of managing and
integrating IT & telco by becoming your end-to-end ICT provider.
The objective of the company is to provide IT Support Services, Managed IT Services, IT
Networks and Security Services.
Managing your Servers, networks, Personal Computers, and Mobile Devices is an integral
part of any business, and we understand that this can be time-consuming and expensive.
New Project along with requirements:
The Company has approached your training organisation to produce at least two
information communications technology (ICT) network architecture designs. One is for the
computer Lab where the network is connected as LAN, and another is for the second
computer lab where the network is connected to WAN. The training organisation has
assigned this project to you.
You are the ICT network analyst in your company. The management of the organisation
wants you to adapt technologies to specified technical solutions, use site design software
and hardware, evaluate client specifications against accepted industry practices, produce
technical designs from business specifications, analyse feedback from the client and adjust
proposals, apply design concepts to business solutions, produce technical reports, make
recommendations and offer optimum design solutions. This includes:
• Prepare to produce ICT network architecture design
• Produce preliminary ICT network architecture design
• Evaluate preliminary design and anticipated performance
• Finalise network architecture design and obtain approval
