DIT505 Network Routing and Switching (Y/617/6744) DIT505 Assignment Brief Qualification QUALIFI Level 5 Diploma in Information Technology Unit Code and Title Unit DIT505: Network Routing and Switching Unit Reference Y/617/6744 Assignment Aim This unit aims to deliver the knowledge needed to carry out switching and the knowledge and skills needed to carry out routing – how to set up and configure a router and switches to interconnect a multi area network. The unit covers computer networks routing and switching including Router Information Protocol (RIP); Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF).
Learning Outcomes And Assessment Criteria Learning Outcomes: To achieve this unit, the learner must be able to: Assessment Criteria: Assessment of these outcomes demonstrates the learner can:
- Understand switching. 1.1 Evaluate the considerations to be taken into account in the purchase of a switch. 1.2 Analyse switching techniques and protocols. 1.3 Analyse the features in managed switches. 1.4 Analyse the differences between circuit switching and packet switching.
- Perform routing. 2.1 Evaluate the considerations to be taken into account in making static and inter-VLAN routing decisions. 2.2 Analyse routing techniques and protocols. 2.3 Evaluate the considerations to be taken into account in dynamic routing. 2.4 Evaluate the considerations to be taken into account in a single and multi area OSPF. 2.5 Set up and configure a single area OSPF to agreed standards. 2.6 Configure a multi area OSPF to agreed standards. 2.7 Configure a multi area EIGRP to agreed standards.
