Use complex techniques to develop a network
This standard asks you to build and set up a computer network using proper tools and techniques, then test it to make sure it works. You'll need to explain how networks operate, configure both the hardware (cables, switches, servers) and software to connect devices, and troubleshoot any problems that come up. You also need to think about real-world considerations like security, user needs, and how the different parts of your network work together.
You build a working network using correct techniques and explain the basic networking concepts involved, with appropriate testing to fix errors.
You explain the OSI model and how it affects your network design, evaluate your test results to improve the network quality, and explain what each component actually does.
You independently and accurately set up the hardware and software to meet what the user actually needs, and justify why you chose each component over other options.
