Key Competencies
- Subnetting & IP Addressing — VLSM, CIDR, network/host calculation, and multi-segment IP planning.
- Switching Fundamentals — VLANs, trunk/access configuration, basic inter-VLAN routing, and STP concepts.
- Routing — Static routing and introduction to dynamic routing protocols (RIP/OSPF).
- Wireless Networking — Channel planning, coverage optimization, security (WPA2/WPA3), and interference management.
- Network Security — Basic ACLs, NAT, port security, and network segmentation best practices.
- Troubleshooting — Layer-by-layer analysis (OSI model), ping/traceroute diagnostics, and DHCP or loop issues.
Practical Implementation
- Configured routers and switches using CLI-style workflows and small-scale topology simulations.
- Validated VLAN segmentation and failover using ping/ARP and static route testing.
- Documented configuration changes and created baseline network templates.
- Deployed network segmentation for performance and security, including NAT and ACL filtering.
Real-World Applications
- Designed IP schemes for multi-segment environments (user, management, IoT/camera).
- Implemented VLAN-based segmentation for better security and traffic isolation.
- Laid the groundwork for scalable dynamic routing as network complexity increased.
Achievements
- Successfully completed an end-to-end configuration scenario (design → implementation → verification).
- Officially certified by Axelbit for core networking competencies. View credential: Open Certificate
