3. design and manage a small local area network using appropriate configuration (physical topology, logical topology, access methods and media).
4. assess and monitor wireless networks, wireless access points, and network bandwidth.
5. develop specific and reasonable plans to secure networked communications environments by identifying assets, threats, vulnerabilities and describing appropriate network controls and protective measures.
