That a career in networking

OMG, I wanted someone to answer that question for me so badly when I first started. I believed that a career in networking would suit me because I was computer savvy, I was actually interested in technology from the standpoint of how it worked and I believed that I could be good at working with computers in general. Beyond that, I just did not have a vision of where I wanted to go or where I could go after certification. I knew that a CCNA prepared you to work as a Network Specialist or Network Engineer. So, I wondered what does a Network Engineer do exactly?  Read More;;  network engineer salary Individuals who read my post about my exam (https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/thread/63767) and career journey (https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/thread/63768) with Cisco have requested information about what I do as a Network Engineer.

I will touch on some things related to Cisco’s PPDIOO Methodology and how that CCNP topic has applied to my job role in addition to some general information. JOB OVERVIEW In general, my team takes designs created by architects, planners and salespeople and makes changes to the network topology based on issues like traffic congestion, preventative maintenance, necessary infrastructure upgrades, customer issues, new product offerings, etc. TEAM ROLES My immediate team consists of Lead Network Engineers (Level II) and Network Engineers (Level I). Projects based on the issues above are given to the Lead Network Engineers and they choose a couple of Level 1 Network Engineers to work on the projects with them. PROCESS/PPDIOO This is the first place where my Cisco knowledge was reinforced and utilized. The e

How to Become a Network Engineer

Here’s the good news — network engineers are in high demand. Companies are investing in newer, faster technology and mobile networks every day, increasing the need for highly trained network engineers. Read More;  how to become a network engineer What Is a Network Engineer? Network engineers (also called network architects) plan, construct and manage networks to ensure they’re optimized and functioning as intended. As a network engineer, you’re responsible for the foundation of an organization’s IT system (and by default, the entire organization). While network technicians or IT administrators assist with daily IT and troubleshooting tasks, network engineers take on the high-level challenge of designing and improving networks. Depending on the company, you’ll be creating and implementing physical and wireless networks, troubleshooting issues and researching and integrating new technologies. Here are a few common networking career questions: Is networking a good career?

Benefits of a Remote Network Engineer for Your Company

First of all, what is remote working? Remote working is when an employee works from outside of the office premises (if there is a physical one) and can work from any location that’s needed. The popularity of remote working has grown and grown over the years. From the creation of personal computers in the 1970s to the modern day, more businesses are hiring remote employees. When it comes to finding a Remote Network Engineer, they need to be trustworthy, have an extensive background and can be able to complete the tasks you need to be done from anywhere in the world. Remote working went hand in hand with the telecom revolution of the 20th Century. Accelerating the global need and want for remote employees, telecommunication has adapted with the times. More people are becoming remote workers because of the freedom it entails. From this freedom, comes improved productivity, fewer costs for the business (such as operating costs) and it reduces their employee turnover (happy employees

Network Engineer vs Network Administrator

People often confuse the terms network engineer and network administrator by using them interchangeably. Since both of the terms belong to the same background but have some differences in their job roles, let’s have a quick look at what distinguishes them from each other. A network engineer designs and develops both the physical and wireless networks, whereas a network administrator is responsible for maintaining the network once it is developed. A network engineer troubleshoots network problems and a network administrator implements security programs with hardware and software. For a network engineer, a B.S or M.S in Computer Science, engineering or programming is required. However, for a network administrator, many organizations prefer a degree and additional certifications in programs such as Cisco, Juniper, Microsoft, and Red Hat Starting a Career in Network Engineering: Before you get into the computer networking industry, you should know what area you want to specialize i
