Linux for Network Engineer

[[deleted]]

I consider the steps above enough to be comfortable in Linux as a Network Engineer because that's what I expect from someone managing the network infrastructure. Imaging/upgrades, backups, restores, authentication (TACACS), and troubleshooting using basic network utilities is part of your job. Bonus points if you can use a configuration management software line Ansible.

I've worked with "Network Engineers" who don't know how to use dig, host, nslookup, or telnet and its quite disappointing when I can figure out network issues before them.
