• Solid hands-on experience with Cisco Catalyst switches and routers, Cisco Nexus switches, and enterprise routing and switching environments.
• Experience with Fortinet FortiGate firewalls, FortiManager, and FortiAnalyzer.
• Practical experience with F5 BIG-IP LTM and enterprise load balancing concepts.
• Working knowledge of Cisco ISE, Cisco Nexus Dashboard, Cisco Catalyst Wireless 9800 Controllers, and Cisco Meraki Wireless.
