So today I had a phone interview for a NOC position and it went really well. The interviewer pretty much said I nailed everything and that we would be moving forward for an in-person meeting. I wanted to get some feedback to see what kind of questions I can expect at the interview. He mentioned drawing up some network diagrams with questions, etc, so I am sure it will be more in depth than the phone interview.
During the phone interview there were some basic OSI questions along with some switch/firewall/routing questions. I know my weak point will be an switch questions, as I am currently studying for CCNP ROUTE. Any sample questions would be great (not just focused on switching).
Below is the job description if it might help:
