A life of a Network Engineer

sina2011

Hi everyone,

I'am currently studying for my ccna hopefully sitting the exam on march 20th.


I just wanted ask a question for those people that are in the networking field at the moment what are your day to day tasks you guys perform.





Thanks.

It really depends in what environement you work in. If you work for a SP, in large enterprise, small enterprise or as contractor. For example, I work in a large enterprise full time so I usually support any kind of network infrastructure. Usually I get projects and I have to design and present them to my project manager. Other than projects I get tickets from sysadmins having issues with the network, either reachability or they find it slow and you have to troubleshoot. In other cases I get sysadmins that want to implement a new server and need certain requirements and I have to help them with this. It really depends.

There are a few threads on the topic that you may want to take a look - was there a particular concern or interest that you had?

Perform a job search for network engineer in your area to get a more accurate look at the day-to-day for a network engineer. It will vary quite a bit depending on the organization.
