Professional Practice in IT 2Competence claimSystem installation/decommissioning skill: installation of critical components of the network and properly configuring them. I installed new wireless access points in building six andproperly configured them. I have chosen the installation of access points on building six because it presented me with a unique environment to learn and exercise my skills. I was tasked with installation of the access points and configure them. This I did with the help one technician assigned to me by my supervisor from the department I was working in. Mr. Daniels (the technician) was there to help me whenever I needed help and to show me a few things that I was not familiar with given that he has worked in the field of IT as a technician for over five years.This piece of work is about my competence. I am going to recount all the activities I carried out to show how effective the skills were to my development both personally and professionally. As a junior network engineer and a student in the technology department at the University of Technology Sydney, I have been able to learn a lot both in and out of the class. Skills learnt in class (theory) were helpful for me at the workplace. I was able to directly relate what I have been doing in class as a student to what is expected in the work place as an employee. Working on the project enabled me to develop skills; autonomy, influence, complexity and business skill.
Professional Practice in IT 3Autonomy: The competency claim is about the installation of access points on building six so that the students could get better wireless reception and to improve the coverage distance of the wireless network. First, I had to label all the forty three access points and each correctly configured before adding them to VLAN 3120. I had also to create a VLAN called WLAN_Management in the access switch 1.203. In each floor there were twenty three to twentyseven access points installed. I had to look at one switch at a time ensuring that they are properly configured before going to the next switch. I was doing this to improve the Wi-Fi connectivity and also improve the coverage. After installing the wireless access points, I had to ensure that they were assigned to the correct subnet virtual local area network 3120. I had also to include access point 205 which was in subnet 1910 into VLAN 3210. I had to configure the access points before going ahead to fix them at various strategic points. I had to ensure that I assigned each a dynamic address that was reserved in the addressingscheme of the network found in the routing table. The assigned IP address of each AP had to fall within the addressing scheme of the subnet. There was VLAN 3210 under which the access points were connected to so that they could broadcast and dispense wireless signal in the area to enable users to connect to the Internet. Resetting the AP 205 made it possible to reconfigure the access point so that it could take up the new IP address in VLAN 3210 to avoid IP address conflicts that may arise from improper allocation of IP addresses.
