Prerequisites
Aims and objectives
This unit of study aims to provide you with a solid foundation in the technologies and functionality of routing within data networks. The Unit will also provide with an introduction to Wide Area Networks (WANs) and the skills to deploy common network services within a WAN infrastructure.
Unit Learning Outcomes (ULO)
1. Describe the process of routing.(K3)
2. Analyse the operation of and differences between various dynamic routing protocols. (K3, S2, S3)
3. Construct a network with static and dynamic routes. (K3)
4. Use Access Control Lists as a security technique to control traffic flow across the network. (K2, K3, S1)
5. Describe the various WAN technology options for district-sized networks. (K2, K3)
6. Describe and implement various layer 2 protocols on WAN links and configure and describe the functionality of NAT and DHCP network services. (K3)
Unit Learning Outcomes (ULO)
Students who successfully complete this unit will be able to:
2. Analyse the operation of and differences between various dynamic routing protocols. (K3, S2, S3)

Hurdle
As the minimum requirements of assessment to pass the unit and meet all Unit Learning Outcomes to a minimum standard, a student must achieve:
(i) An aggregate mark of 50% or more, and
(ii) At least 40% in the final exam, and
(iii) A Pass grade for the Skills Exam. The criteria for passing the Skills Exam is available in the Unit Outline.
(ii) At least 40% in the final exam, and
(iii) A Pass grade for the Skills Exam. The criteria for passing the Skills Exam is available in the Unit Outline.
Students who do not successfully achieve hurdle requirements (ii) and (iii) will receive a maximum of 44% as the total mark for the unit and will not be eligible for a conceded pass
