Responsibilities:
• Implement local area networks (LAN), wide area networks (WAN), intranets, extranets, & other data networks.
• Expertise in wireless networking, including RF principles, wireless standards (IEEE 802.11), network design and implementation, security protocols, performance monitoring, troubleshooting, and familiarity with emerging technologies like Wi-Fi 6.
• Maintains network availability in multiple networking environments by administering Cisco campus-based switching environments with fiber-based and copper-based Ethernet connectivity (1gig and 10gig).
• Installs, manages, and maintains Cisco switching components to support campus, wan, and distributed core architectures. Works with Cisco chassis-based systems, internet circuit termination equipment, and advanced Cisco management tools.
• Manage Cisco Prime Infrastructure and analyze network health, workflow, access, information, and security requirements; performing router/ switch administration, interface configuration, and switching protocols.
• Experience with network routers and switches, and strong Cisco switch and router configuration experience.
