If you're reading this post I am certain you want to become a network engineer specializing in Cisco networks. It usually takes many years of trial and error before you can become good at administrating Cisco networks, and this is definitely an issue for many people.
There are various things you can do in order to learn faster and to show to your future employer that you have the necessary computer networking skills as well as experience to do well at the job. Here in this post, I will share some of these skills you need.
For those who want to do well at Cisco networking, and to become qualified fast, there are 2 things you should do which may help:
1. CCNA Skills and Certification - The CCNA certification is considered by many IT companies to be the beginner level networking certification. Because of this, getting the CCNA certification is a wonderful way to kickstart your networking career.
For the hiring company, obtaining the prestigious CCNA certification will indicate to them that you have what it takes to configure and troubleshoot enterprise networks effectively. As an added benefit, because Cisco is the enterprise networking vendor with the largest market share in the world today, and getting a recognized certification from them will boost your credibility.
2. Cisco IOS Command Line Experience - There are many Cisco certification cheaters today, unfortunately. In order to put an end to this, Cisco has included several items such as simulations in the test, in order to make it more difficult for cheaters to pass. Many employers also do a more in-depth technical interview in order to determine if the candidate has sufficient Cisco networking skills and has obtained the certification in an honest way.
This is one of the reasons why it is a good idea to get some configuration experience with Cisco IOS, even if you are new. This will send a clear signal to your employer that you have the necessary experience to do your job well. If you practice your troubleshooting and configuration skills, you will have no problem performing at your new job.
