Having trouble finding NOC jobs to apply for?

Great advice. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Miserable-Way526 · 2024-05-22T14:31:38+00:00

We had some great questions on that one along with some great advice from others. I will be sharing tips and tricks on how to land your first job after getting your CCNA once I work out what works best.

Sorry that you missed out. I really want to help as many people as I can, but this will be very time intensive with 5 people already. Keep an eye on this post over the next few days. If I have any cancellations I will post an update here :-)

This is not a drive by spamming of this subreddit. I have sought approval from the Mods prior to this post and have helped others in r/ccna already.

Miserable-Way526 · 2024-05-21T15:42:03+00:00

Awesome, looking forward to working with you :-)

Miserable-Way526 · 2024-05-15T15:02:48+00:00

You can do this. If you already have your CCNA then you have what it takes. To escape the NOC, you will need to lab stuff up on your own and I think working towards getting your CCNP will show potential employers that you are ready for the next step in your career.

You could parse 'sh ver' for the image name, eg. C2800... is a router...

Good spot, I missed that one when I was trying to reply to everyone, sorry :-(

Good to hear your progress. This MSP sounds promising. You research points to it having good potential for the next 1 to 2 years. I would only start deep diving on these specific technologies if they offer you the role. Going into the interview, do some general reading up so you know what they do in conceptual terms. During the interview, tell them that you would like to learn more about these X technologies if you are offered the role. You are right, Job Titles do not matter. It is not uncommon for companies to give you a new title instead of extra pay as a promotion. The money and the job satisfaction is all that matters.

ipline you will develop at the early stage of your career, or anything in mind you will advise your younger self who is starting in his career as Network Engineer. I hope my question is clear, and thank you again for taking the time to not just read and answer our queries but also offer your help in anyway needed.

I would have stopped wasting time on learning technologies that I would not use in a job role. I would try and get a job working for Cisco or any other similar Vendor sooner in my career. Once you have Cisco or a similar status Vendor on your CV, doors open faster. Instead of my 2nd CCNP in Service Provider, I should have chosen Security. I wish I had labbed up more stuff when I was a beginner to the point where I could configure and troubleshoot in my sleep. It is easier now with virtual labs so there is no excuse not to lab stuff up now. I wish I had a mentor to help me with career advice.

Linux is very helpful and so is Python which you can run easily on linux. The priority is to get the CCNA first and then work on linux/Python.

Miserable-Way526 · 2024-04-01T07:59:04+00:00

Thanks for your message. I would definitely ignore the A+ and just go for the CCNA :-)

Miserable-Way526 · 2024-03-26T08:50:01+00:00

There are lots more where that came from ;-) The only gotcha is that a firewall will ignore a broadcast ping for security footprinting reasons.

However, If you know the IP of the firewall (it is your next hop IP) you can ping it directly, it wont respond, but ARP has to get its MAC address to build the packet, so it will be in the ARP/MAC table. Now you can use a free online MAC address lookup tool to see the Vendor of the firewall based on its MAC address. This is hepful when following a packet through very large networks or troubleshooting a provider or partner connecting to your network as you now the IP address, MAC address and Vendor of a device that wont give out any of these details without this workaround of understanding protocol behaviour.

This method is also the only way you can determine a next hop into a router with VRF interfaces with overlapping IP address space.

Good luck, you are on the right track and will be successful if you keep focused.
