Network Engineer Interview Questions

Network engineers ontwerpen en bouwen computernetwerken. Werkgevers zijn op zoek naar mensen met solide vaardigheden om hun high-level netwerken te ontwerpen, terwijl de ondersteuning en het onderhoud aan netwerkbeheerders worden overgelaten. Wees tijdens het sollicitatiegesprek voorbereid op allerlei technische vragen over alle aspecten van netwerktheorie.

Meest gestelde sollicitatievragen voor een network engineer (M/V/X) en hoe te antwoorden

Question 1

Vraag 1: Wat zijn uw sterke punten als network engineer?

How to answer
Zo antwoordt u: De aanwervende manager analyseert of uw houding en bekwaamheden met de functievereisten overeenkomen. Praat op een effectieve manier over uzelf: vertel over uw goede eigenschappen, opleidingen en ervaring met betrekking tot de verwachtingen van de werkgever. U kunt bijvoorbeeld karaktertrekken beschrijven, zoals dat u nauwkeurig werkt en goede sociale vaardigheden heeft; opleidingen, zoals een CompTIA Network+ Certification; en werkervaring, zoals uw stage, waardoor u goede prestaties neerzet.
Question 2

Vraag 2: Kunt u ons een samenvatting geven van uw werkervaring op het vlak van network engineering.

How to answer
Zo antwoordt u: De vraagsteller gebruikt deze vraag om uw expertise met network engineering te evalueren. Geef voorbeelden van uw expertise door uw op ervaringen gebaseerde prestaties te noemen. Deze moeten de vaardigheden die de aanwervende manager zoekt, goed belichten. Bespreek bijvoorbeeld een gebeurtenis die uw TC/IP- en Linux-expertise of oog voor detail benadrukt.
Question 3

Vraag 3: Welke rollen of functies heeft u uitgevoerd in netwerkprojecten waarbij u met anderen heeft samengewerkt?

How to answer
Zo antwoordt u: Met deze vraag wordt geëvalueerd of u een effectieve teamspeler bent. In een team kunnen werken is essentieel, aangezien een network engineer werkt met leidinggevenden, zoals een netwerkbeheerder, en professionals van verschillende andere afdelingen die voor hun taken gebruikmaken van het computernetwerk, zoals accountants, onderzoekers, ingenieurs en marketeers. Geef een samenvatting van uw groepsprojecten, onderstreep hierbij uw succes en geef voorbeelden van interpersoonlijke vaardigheden en vaardigheden om conflicten op te lossen.

13,718 network engineer interview questions shared by candidates

Signed NDA, hence won't be able to share the questions here. However, I would advice people appearing for this role to be prepared with the basics of networking (tcp/ip, traditional routing and switching, routing protocols - ospf, rip, bgp etc.) and to have a good command on coding using Python.

1. Was given a scenario and was asked as to why the webpage of server wouldn’t open how I would I troubleshoot from outside the company and from within the company? What could be network issues? It was open ended discussion (Answers: Ping the gateways/check the traceroute) 2. Describe BGP and various concepts in BGP like EBGP multi-hop feature? 3. Stateless v Stateful firewall? 4. Some really advanced questions on TCP? 5. When would you use Type E1/E2 while redistributing OSPF and why? LSA types?? 6. What is Path manipulation in BGP and how do you manipulate routes in real time 7. Remote Access VPN questions 8. What are the reasons for BGP to be stuck in Active state? How would you troubleshoot the issue? 9. What is route-map and where did you implement in real time. I did okay on the interview. I think in the hindsight If I could have done something well, it would have been fact that I should have given my response enthusiastically and be more energetic during the interview. I kind of had bad week during the week of interview, by the time of interview I was mentally exhausted, I felt like I was not able to give my best and I think that and few other minor mistakes cost me the interview. Ultimately, they never responded again over the email. I checked online status on the same weekend, which showed a message that I was not among the finalists for that particular role.
