CCNA isn't really worth getting in my opinion, because you start off as network technician and it's really hard to get in and out of that. It's basically equivalent of tech support from Best Buy, but you don't actually grasp the core concept of network engineer, which doesn't do any of the hard labor, but it comes down to configuration, troubleshooting and diagnostics of a company's network. Work industry asks for CCNP, but I would just invest half a year full time and go for CCIE. That's what I have been doing and I already passed CCIE written exam for routing and switching. Due to COVID-19 right now, Cisco's testing center is closed, but I can just take the written exam for CCNP and I'll get CCNP certified because Cisco gave me a badge as Cisco Certified Network Specialist for passing their CCIE written exam. CCNA does have a lot of important concept you need to understand, though, especially the layer 1 - 7 and things such as OSPF, BGP, TCP, etc.
@@assassin7250 I think if you want to start off new and get into the field, it's good to have a bachelor's degree in computer science and a CCNA. That's a good starting point. You can still apply for tier 2 to tier 3 job, but you do need to study a lot to make sure you can back-up the conceptual questions they ask you during an interview. An example would be "How does a traceroute work?" You think that's a simple question, but in reality it's actually a very complicated answer, because being able to know how it works and being able to explain how traceroute works to a non-IT person are two completely different thing. The reason why I say BS in computer science is because a lot of jobs nowadays require you to understand coding/scripting, especially Python and Bash from Linux, and a lot of the companies ask for a BS in computer science on top of a certification such as CCNA/CCNP. But if you don't have a BS in computer science, all hope is not lost. You can definitely still get a job without a bachelor degree and just a certification (CCNA), but it'll just be a bit harder and takes longer. My advice is when you go look at the requirement of a job, ask yourself if you really know those requirements that they are asking for. And if you feel like you could do most of the things they are asking for, then I would apply.
@@assassin7250 You don't need to be super good at math to become a network engineer. I know people that aren't good at math and still became network engineer. You just need to be able to do basic arithmetic. You know, as in add, subtract, multiply and divide. When you are actually working, you'll probably use a calculator most of the time for large quantity numbers because it's not ideal to do those kind of things by hand. But depending on what you are trying to do or what job you want to pursue after, your skills will vary. I will tell you that getting a bachelor of science in computer science will require a lot of high level math such as differential equation, linear algebra, and calculus I, II, III, as well as science courses such as biology and engineer physic I, II, and III. Those talk about sound wave and liquid volume and atoms, etc. Those are just general requirement too, and that's excluding all the core classes for computer science major. I went through those, and they aren't fun. If math isn't your strong point, you need to put in more time and effort to hone those skills if you are pursuing a career that uses a lot of math or simply to pass for academic purpose. But if you are pursuing a career that doesn't require a lot of math, you shouldn't have to worry too much if you can do basic arithmetic. Please understand that you still can get a network engineer job without a degree, but you need to do your research for the specific job field you want to go into, try to find an internship, as well as trying to get those IT certifications in exchange for not having a IT degree. You gotta put in the time and effort somewhere. Company cares way more about whether you can do the task they ask for rather than if you have a college degree or not. A lot of companies ask for a college degree as a filter to weed out people since there are so many applicants. But you can definitely still get hired if you have certification and experience. Experience is way more valued over your degree. Some of the higher level math classes I took back in college, I had to retake it 2 to 3 times because I failed them multiple times. But that was because I didn't care about my education and didn't care about life and wanted to just die right there and then. But I made it through all of those and didn't give up, and so can you. The important thing is all about your mentality. Mind over matter. Apply that kind of mentality to what you want to do anything in life, never give up, and you will succeed at some point in return for all those time and effort you put into sharpening your knife.
Thank you so much for the video. I don't know why but I've been looking for a video to get to see what a network engineer does but even on youtube I couldn't find one video like yours.
Thanks for the video! I’m a data center tech working my way on to be a network engineer. I’m currently working on my CCNA. I spend most of my days racking & stacking. Always good to get insight on where I’ll be. Thanks again!
thanks for the inspiration brother, already have my ccna, studying ccnp currently, also looking at getting into ansible,python and linux. Thanks for the motivation!
If your pushing cisco certs just go all the way to CCIE and name your price. The buddy of mine that passed his written and failed his practical was contacted by cisco and hired 2 weeks later. With their labs he was able to pass his practical and move forward. He has been all over the world working for cisco and solving problems for big projects.
@@TotlKaos Did your buddy have any previous it experience such as help desk? I'm taking your advice and going for CCIE with zero experience except A+. I just really want to skip help desk!
Now anybody correct me if I'm wrong please but looking at your template config, I see that you were configuring trunking on one of the tengig ports but also configured portfast? Isn't portfast supposed to be configured for access ports only? I appreciate some clarification 🙏
Halfway through the video, you talk about how switch stacking is used for redundancy. This is not what stacking is for. Stacking is used to increase the number of ports on a switch by connecting two switches together so they can be managed as a single larger switch. If one switch goes out it would break the stack and have no redundancy. Physically moving the connections from a failed switch to a different switch with the same VLAN access has nothing to do with stacking as you could easily have two unstacked switches configured the same anyway.
Hm, I can see your point. In your scenario, perhaps if the Master and subsequent member of the stack (with correct stack priority) both go down, will the entire stack be offline/unreachable or broken.
@@DJHEV My point is, if a switch fails, there is no automatic redundancy for its connections. You must physically move the connections or replace the switch. This is not redundant. If a stacked switch goes down, all connections into that switch are down. Stacking has nothing to do with redundancy. Layer 2 redundancy really only happens at the distribution level, where an access layer switch is connected to multiple distribution layer switches in a partial mesh topology. If one distribution layer switch goes down, then a connected access layer switch has a backup distribution switch it can use once STP is done converging.
This video was really helpful. I studied CCNA years ago but did nothing with it. The more I watch these videos makes it clear to me that this is the career I want. I'll need to study more but I think it'll be worth it. Oh and got the question right even though it's been over 10 years doing this stuff. I'm taking that as a sign.
Most of time when you are brand new ccna certified you will stay and work mostly in lan area im not ccna but i know some networikng you have to focus on vlan spanning tree and ospf and now with the new 301 adds virtulization . . . etc

no IT experience at all but wanna do Networking. Have an A+ book and a Network+ class but I wanna go straight into the networking😭 if you have your eyes set on networking should you just go for the Net+ ?
(also wanna get my CCNA, Security+, CISSP, and a Microsoft cert)
You need experience first, start help desk like everyone else does
I just notice the Company you work for Lol I forgot how many times I applied to their job post. Salute to you though.
Noticed*! Not notice!! Might be why you didn't get the job, just saying!
KING AVXY it’s a youtube comment.. calm down
@@kingavxy3206 enlightening as in huw two git an jub plise. Sory no gud in engrish
@@kingavxy3206 your petty
I must've said sumthin right
Where's the reset or reboot button?
I just accepted a position as Network Engineer II... excited!! Thanks for your walkthrough :)
Which one is better networking or development (programming)
@@The--J0ker it depends… I personally don’t enjoy programming and I love working with production environments’ core IT infrastructure so information security/networking have always been interests of mine. For those more interested in applications etc., software development is a great choice if you like programming. Great opportunities/salary in both fields!
@@zackarysilva1618 thanks for the reply i like networking more but i read so many comments about networking is dying i dont know where did that come from
Does Network Engineer always have to be on-site?
What degree do you have? I'm planning on taking my associates to start a career on this field.
really cool am working on my ccna an am exited to get it
Good luck! Thanks for watching
Good luck ! Did you get it already ? Im working on mine currently and want to schedule it for the end of June! Just started hope its enough time :/
@@FlavourEd88 I passed my CCNA on 12 feb 2020, After it's more difficult got a job with zero experience in France, believe me stay and search in country english.
Is networking still a good career path? Or should we flock to the DEV world?
Networking is and will always be a good career path. Depends if you are interested in networking or DEV??
Do you have to work swing shifts and night shifts as a network engineer? Or can you enter a more standard 9-5 or work from home role after your CCNA certification? Thank you!
Hi Guy, do you have an answer?
What is your entry-level start salary for this?
I like these guys/gals
Can any person, any nationality get a job with CCNA in the USA??
What are your certs?
thanks
Don't you have a good monitoring? Why physically checking switches?
you must be new to IT
@@Xanivert yes since 2003. Only 18 years.
Do network engineers code?
That data center is a mess!
I like to use Avaya for my voice.
I got my Ccna test next month. No hands on experience. Is it possible to find a job as entry level network engineer?
Just wondering how long did it take you to study for the CCNA?
Yes it absolutely is. Btw how'd you make out?
Hey all watching, I'm 28 and really want to get into work with computers, I just don't know what area to go in as I never got degree for IT in school. I'm happy to go back to college but if someone could give me some tips of what course and what jobs are future proof, I am tired of my job and life and spend alot of time around computers and really know them well! :) thanks.
A+ , N+ then CCNA you'll be well
A+, CCNA, and try to land a help desk role to get your feet wet
@@tporter6495 thanks means alot for any information you have :)
00:35 Untidy cabling there. You guys need to train in cable management
the mic in the zipper is killing me, great video besides that!
What type of education do you have to get this job?
Mr.Cheeseburger you need to do course, networking course
Mr.Cheeseburger any graduation regarding computers will help u!!
Ccna at least
I wonder how long network engineer have to work at night shifts
Depends on the company and country HR laws. From my experience, Network engineers of new zealand work 6 nights out of the total 10 weeks roster with 3 nights a week followed by 4 rest days. But senior network engineers dont do night shifts
Well since I work for a large company most of our maintenance is done off hours - Nights, Weekends and even Holidays. So sometimes we have to do that. My company rewards our team very well so no one really complains about it.. it's part of the job.
How does one get a job in the help desk for experience?
Graduate from college in the computer science major or get a COMPTIA security + certification and then apply for a help desk job.. the security + is how I did it
@@sulliandwhatnot lol you don't need sec+ to get a help desk job
Stopped watching after seeing first task of the day is to physically check the network for 'amber lights'. You don't do this. Amber lights don't mean anything useful and can be a normal state depending on your design. Monitoring, continuous remote monitoring with effective alerting is the key.
Lol for real. No SNMP?
Question.
I am a CS freshmen student but i am really into Networking. Would there be a chance to have a job relative to networking if I graduated in CS?
Try to get the CCNA and the CCNP by the time you graduate. You'll be golden
This is more like a datacenter technician lol
