I applied via Monster and was interviewed in Jan 2021. There were 4 interview rounds.
Catalyst 5000 uses shared memory LAN switching.
Catalyst 5000 uses a shared memory architecture for LAN switching.
This allows for high-speed switching between ports.
The shared memory architecture also allows for advanced features like VLANs and QoS.
Examples of Catalyst 5000 models include the 5500 and 5002.
These switches were popular in the 1990s and early 2000s.
RIP and OSPF are routing protocols used in computer networks.
RIP is a distance-vector protocol while OSPF is a link-state protocol.
RIP uses hop count as the metric while OSPF uses cost.
OSPF supports VLSM and CIDR while RIP does not.
OSPF is more scalable and efficient for larger networks than RIP.
RIP broadcasts its routing table updates while OSPF uses multicast.
OSPF has a faster convergence time than RIP.
RIP is simpler
I applied via Naukri.com and was interviewed in Mar 2021. There were 3 interview rounds.
DNS is a system that translates domain names into IP addresses. DHCP is a protocol for assigning IP addresses. IP address is a unique identifier for devices. RJ-45 is a type of connector used for Ethernet cables.
DNS translates domain names (e.g., www.example.com) into IP addresses (e.g., 192.168.1.1).
DHCP is a protocol that automatically assigns IP addresses to devices on a network.
An IP address is a numerical label as...
The show interface command displays the status and statistics of a network interface.
Displays the interface type, member, module, and number
Shows the current status of the interface (up or down)
Displays the number of packets transmitted and received
Shows the number of errors and discards
Displays the speed and duplex settings of the interface
I applied via LinkedIn and was interviewed before May 2023. There was 1 interview round.
I applied via Recruitment Consulltant and was interviewed before Jun 2022. There were 2 interview rounds.
I applied via Approached by Company and was interviewed in Apr 2022. There were 4 interview rounds.
The interview was very good as they asked me my experiences(good & bad) from the day I am professional. How to handle the situations when a senior person makes a mistake. What are the ways of learning that you prefer.
I have worked with a variety of tools as a Network Engineer.
Cisco Packet Tracer
Wireshark
SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor
Nmap
GNS3
Ping
Traceroute

Switches operate at layer 2 of the OSI model, forwarding data based on MAC addresses. Routers operate at layer 3, forwarding data based on IP addresses.
Switches operate at layer 2 of the OSI model, while routers operate at layer 3.
Switches forward data based on MAC addresses, while routers forward data based on IP addresses.
Switches are used to create LANs, while routers are used to connect different networks.

I applied via Naukri.com and was interviewed in Aug 2021. There were 3 interview rounds.
There are several types of networks, including LAN, WAN, MAN, WLAN, and PAN.
Local Area Network (LAN) is a network that covers a small area, such as an office or a building.
Wide Area Network (WAN) is a network that covers a large geographical area, such as multiple cities or countries.
Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) is a network that covers a larger area than a LAN but smaller than a WAN, typically within a city.
Wireles...
The range of private IP addresses is defined by three blocks: 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255, 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255, and 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255.
Private IP addresses are used within private networks and are not routable on the internet.
The three blocks of private IP addresses are reserved for use in local area networks (LANs) and are not unique globally.
Private IP addresses allow organizations to have multipl...
A /29 subnet has 6 usable host addresses.
A /29 subnet has a subnet mask of 255.255.255.248.
The subnet mask leaves 3 bits for host addresses.
2^3 = 8, but 2 addresses are reserved for network and broadcast.
Therefore, a /29 subnet has 6 usable host addresses.
MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) is a protocol used in telecommunications networks to efficiently route data packets.
MPLS is a layer 2.5 protocol that operates between traditional layer 2 (Data Link Layer) and layer 3 (Network Layer) protocols.
It uses labels to identify and forward data packets, improving network performance and scalability.
MPLS can be used to create virtual private networks (VPNs) and prioritize t...
BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is a routing protocol used in internet networks. It provides scalability, redundancy, and policy control.
BGP is used to exchange routing information between different autonomous systems (AS)
It allows for efficient routing decisions based on policies and network conditions
BGP states represent the different stages of establishing and maintaining BGP peering sessions
Examples of BGP states inc...
OSPF LSA types include Router LSA, Network LSA, Summary LSA, ASBR Summary LSA, AS External LSA, and NSSA External LSA.
Router LSA describes the state of the router and its interfaces within an area.
Network LSA describes the state of the network segment and its attached routers.
Summary LSA summarizes routes from one area to another.
ASBR Summary LSA summarizes routes to an Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR).
AS Exter...
VTP stands for VLAN Trunking Protocol. It is a Cisco proprietary protocol used to manage VLAN configurations across a network.
VTP allows for centralized management of VLANs in a network.
It enables the creation, deletion, and renaming of VLANs on a switch and automatically propagates these changes to other switches in the network.
VTP operates in three modes: server, client, and transparent.
Server mode allows VLAN config...
HSRP stands for Hot Standby Router Protocol. It is a Cisco proprietary protocol used to provide redundancy for IP networks.
HSRP is used to create a virtual IP address that can be shared by multiple routers in a network.
It allows for automatic failover in case the primary router fails.
HSRP routers elect an active router and standby routers, with the active router handling traffic while the standby routers are ready to t...
VCN stands for Virtual Cloud Network, which is a customizable and private network in the cloud.
VCN allows you to define your own IP address range, subnets, route tables, and gateways.
It provides isolation and security for your cloud resources.
You can connect multiple VCNs together or to your on-premises network using VPN or dedicated connections.
