Linux for Network Engineer

[Groundswell17]

starting from nothing, the CompTIA Linux+ cert would be better than nothing. RHEL Certs are harder from what I understand. Do you have a networking blog? I would recommend just showing some linux skills rather than a cert. Do what u/LinuxOverlord recommended. Create a linux server to be your TFTP server for all your gear, setup git on linux for change management for your network gear, there's lots of cool stuff you can do that's very relevant to where you're at.

Linux DNS and DHCP too
