What an assessment for ICTNWK621 must cover

38 assessable components: 5 elements (20 performance criteria), 2 performance evidence and 8 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 8 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Implement layer two security

1.1Configure router operating system (OS) commands and mitigate layer two attacks
1.2Implement identity-based networking services (IBNS) and provide layer two security
1.3Implement required identity management and use access control system (ACS)

2 Configure router OS intrusion prevention system (OS-IPS)

2.1Evaluate advanced capabilities of router OS-IPS firewall feature set and include event action processing (EAP)
2.2Configure and verify IPS features, identify threats and dynamically block from network
2.3Maintain, update and tune required IPS signatures
2.4Configure and verify context-based access control (CBAC) and network address translation (NAT) and dynamically mitigate identified network threats
2.5Configure and verify zone-based firewall (ZFW), advanced application inspections and uniform resource locator (URL) filtering

3 Configure virtual private networks (VPNs)

3.1Analyse and evaluate internet protocol security (IPSec) and generic routing encapsulation (IPSec/GRE) features and functionality
3.2Configure secure connectivity for site-to-site VPN using certificate authorities
3.3Analyse required dynamic multipoint VPN (DMVPN) features and capabilities
3.4Configure and verify secure connectivity for site-to-site VPN operations

4 Provide secure connectivity for site-to-site and remote access communications

4.1Provide highly secure network access with secure socket layer (SSL) VPN to deliver remote access connectivity features and benefits
4.2Evaluate EasyVPN benefits and configure EasyVPN server with dynamic virtual tunnel interface (DVTI) to create a virtual access interface on the virtual tunnel interface
4.3Configure and verify EasyVPN remote to establish a site-to-site connection using both router and VPN software clients
4.4Implement group-encrypted transport (GET) VPN features to simplify the provisioning and management of VPN

5 Implement network foundation protection (NFP)

5.1Evaluate NFP infrastructure protection features and document outcomes
5.2Secure management plane, data plane and control plane and use OS features of the router
5.3Determine functionality against technical specifications
5.4Report on evaluation outcomes and obtain sign off from required personnel

Performance evidence

design, implement and verify network security systems using layer two and layer three devices.
In the course of the above, the candidate must: document evaluation outcomes.

Knowledge evidence

configuration, verification and troubleshooting procedures to undertake: virtual local area network (VLAN) switching inter-switching communications setting up and securing firewalls tunnelling protocols
key features of deployment schemes
iDevice operating system (iOS) and internet protocol (IP) networking models
local area network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN) implementations
network address translation (NAT) concepts and configuration, topologies, architectures and elements, networking standards and protocols
procedures for configuring, verifying and troubleshooting router operations and routing
secure connectivity and remote access communications, security protocols, such as secure socket layer (SSL)
key features of VPN technologies.

Foundation skills

Learning: Demonstrates a sophisticated knowledge of principles, concepts, language and practices associated with the digital world and uses these to troubleshoot and understand the uses and potential of new technology Explores and incubates new and innovative ideas through unconstrained analysis and critical thinking
Numeracy: Selects from and flexibly applies, a wide range of highly developed mathematical and problem-solving strategies and techniques in a broad range of contexts
Oral communication: Articulates requirements and responsibilities clearly and distinctively, using industry standard technical language intended for audience and environment
Reading: Organises, evaluates and critiques ideas and information from a range of complex texts Draws on a broad range of strategies to build and maintain knowledge throughout complex texts
Writing: Generates complex written texts, demonstrating control over a broad range of writing styles and purposes Writes and edits computer code and technical data ensuring correct syntax and accuracy
Planning and organising: Plans strategic priorities and outcomes within a flexible, efficient and effective context in a diverse environment exposed to competing demands
Problem solving: Uses a broad range of strategies to store, access and organise virtual information recognising that design choices will influence what information is retrieved and how it may be interpreted and used
Self-management: Takes full responsibility for identifying and considering required organisational protocols and requirements

Questions about assessing ICTNWK621

What does an assessment tool for ICTNWK621 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for ICTNWK621 needs to address all 38 unit components: 5 elements with 20 performance criteria, 2 performance evidence requirements, 8 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for ICTNWK621?

Auditori pulls the current release of ICTNWK621 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for ICTNWK621 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing ICTNWK621 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of ICTNWK621, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
