Introduction
ANSE (Automated Network Skills Evaluation) framework project is a web-based
router configuration skills evaluation application, it offers a online learning
environment to deliver router configuration skills assessment to the end users
and automatically evaluate users current router configuration skills based on
the automatically collected assessment feedback. It simplifies the router
configuration skills evaluation process and can save tutors enormouse amount of
time. Althought the project is still a prototype, it could be used for
introductory router configuration skills training and assessment.
This project objective was to address the difficulties academic tutors faced in
assessing students’ practical networking skills via academic coursework and
written exams. I provided tutors with a practical, efficient, robust and, above
all, reliable web-based learning environment which allows the automated
assessment of students’ practical network skills.
The screenshot below shows the user interface of the online learning
environment.

The following screentshot shows the sample feedback of a user; viewable by the
previleged tutors.

specific question is recorded.
At the moment, the prototype system only offers two Cisco 3640 Modular router
topology each with two Ethernet interfaces for the common used IOS commands
training. However, with the undergoing development, the framework will be
extended to support more IOS commands and routing protocols, as well as
customisable topology, in the near future.
Software/hardware
ASP.NET 2.0, .Net Framework, MS-SQL Server 2000.

Background
The mandate to comply with regulatory requirements necessitated a
requirement to develop and deploy a data-driven and object-oriented designed
version of the legacy ASP-based Data Protection Act 1998. I created an online
training system, to adhere to the divisions coding and web standards. This was
successfully executed and the new system is currently being used by NHS staff
across Scotland.
Software/hardware
ASP.NET 1.1, .Net Framework, MS-SQL Server 2000.
