My first Net Admin interview. Tips?

seth479

Hey guys I have my first Network Admin interview tomorrow. I did tell them that I still don't have my Net+ yet but would be taking it in the next couple weeks. The recruiter asked me questions about Routing Protocols, port errors, basic OSI stuff and I got them all right and feeling good about it. Below is the job description and I figured it was a NOC type position when I applied but it seems its actually an Admin position so now Im nervous. Anything you guys would recommend I'm really comfortable with? I have some Cisco experience managing port speeds, duplex, vlans and spanning tree but anything more indepth I never got to. I do have experience with the company and their hardware environment so I got that going for me.

the "super awesome" part of the job ad is weird...

it's only asking for 2 years experience, and maybe a CCNA, shouldn't be too complex, probably CCNA level knowledge should be fine...

almost reads like a Desktop Support job...
