What you will demonstrate
Prepare like the role is already yours.
- Produces documented topologies, addressing, segmentation, routing, and redundancy plans.
- Uses OSI and TCP/IP reasoning, subnetting, switching, and routing protocol analysis with appropriate safeguards.
- Partners effectively with users, application owners, and service owners.
- Balances availability, latency, packet loss, jitter, and path stability.
- Guards against changing production traffic without proving packet flow, blast radius, configuration backup, maintenance window, validation, and rollback.
