You may well be able to. Depends on the University you graduated from and that you're applying to. The latter will prolly be the deciding factor but other factors will come into consideration like your professional experience and/or any external professional qualifications you may hold.
I suppose in the worst case you may just have to take something like an Access course I guess. Nothing that serious

I'D say you're definately doing good by getting your CCNA & CCNP and Post graduate Diploma might be a good thing because you may well be able to get in directly. The indication I'm getting is that you're going into Computer Networks right?
Anyway my best advice is that you research and make a shortlist of your preferred Universities. Then contact the relevent persons in-charge of admissions into their Masters programs and put your situation forward to them to best know where you at and what you may need to do. From that you will be able to get an official confirmation as well as what will best suit you. I did likewise before commencing my undergraduate program and it got me settled, answered my questions, and totally cleared my doubts.

It won't matter very much if you have a great score in the GRE and if the rest of your application looks good. Good work experience can also help to enhance your chances. I know someone with a 2.2 who qualified for admission to a top 20 business school so don't worry too much about it.

the only way to know, in my opinion, is by you applying to the school(s) you have in mind and letting them review your transcript.
Better than trying to crack your brain coming up with mathematical formulae that may or may not work.
I hope this helps
