  • Security breach attempts — analyze event logs using transaction security and virus protection software, and produce incident reports for review by security teams.
  • Network connectivity issues — diagnose using protocol analyzers and diagnostic testing equipment, resolving problems with reduced escalation in a multi-segment LAN/WAN environment.
  • Network support activities — document thoroughly in helpdesk and configuration management systems, maintaining accurate records for recurring issues and resolutions.
  • WAN and LAN routers and switches — configure VLANs, routing protocols, and ACLs using router and switch software in a branch-office or campus network setting.
  • Network and endpoint security software — install, update, and validate using change management procedures across production environments with limited supervision.
  • User and user-group connectivity problems — troubleshoot systematically using network monitoring software, applying inductive reasoning to identify root causes in varied network environments.
  • Systems performance baselines — monitor continuously using network monitoring tools and alert thresholds, escalating meaningful deviations to senior engineers.
