🛠 Technical Skills Demonstrated

🏗 Layer 2 & Layer 3 Networking

• VLANs, trunking, static routing, and OSPF

🏢 Enterprise-Level Network Design

• Scalability, redundancy, and efficiency optimization

🔒 Security Best Practices

• Access control lists (ACLs), SSH, and port security

📡 Wireless Networking

• Configuring SSIDs, access points, and encryption

🖥 Server Management

• DHCP, DNS, and email server configurations

🔧 Known Issues & Fixes

❌ Issue: Packet not transferring between VLANs
✔️ Fix: Enable IP routing on the router and check trunking configurations

❌ Issue: Switch doesn’t recognize VLAN interfaces
✔️ Fix: Use no shutdown on VLAN interfaces

❌ Issue: Cisco Packet Tracer freezes when moving the mouse
✔️ Fix: There is no fix. Suffer. 💀
