We are looking for a skilled Network Engineer with strong expertise in routing protocols, switching technologies, and network redundancy mechanisms. The candidate should have hands‑on experience in configuring, managing, and troubleshooting enterprise network environments.
Key Responsibilities:
Configure and manage BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) including both iBGP and eBGP environments.
Understand and troubleshoot BGP neighbor states (Idle, Connect, Active, OpenSent, OpenConfirm, Established).
Implement BGP path attribute manipulation to control inbound and outbound traffic using industry‑standard techniques.
Configure and manage OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) and monitor its states (Down, Init, Two‑Way, ExStart, Exchange, Loading, Full).
Design and manage OSPF areas, including specialized areas like NSSA (Not‑So‑Stubby Area).
Configure and maintain VLANs and trunk links on switches, including VLAN allowance on trunk ports.
Ensure network loop prevention using Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and maintain network stability.
Implement gateway redundancy using HSRP (Hot Standby Router Protocol).
Understand and work with different routing protocol types such as link‑state (OSPF) and path‑vector (BGP).
Monitor network devices and check system health, including router uptime using standard commands.
Required Skills & Qualifications:
Strong knowledge of routing protocols: BGP, OSPF
Understanding of Administrative Distance (AD) values (eBGP, iBGP, OSPF)
Hands‑on experience with Cisco routers and switches
Knowledge of VLAN configuration and trunking
Familiarity with network redundancy protocols (HSRP, STP)
Ability to troubleshoot routing, switching, and connectivity issues
Basic knowledge of network monitoring and device health checks
Preferred Qualifications:
Cisco certifications such as CCNA / CCNP
Experience working in enterprise or data center network environments
