How much do you know about the work of network engineers? Network engineers are network technicians who master the theoretical knowledge and operation skills of network technology through learning and training. Network engineers can be engaged in the design, construction, operation and maintenance of computer information systems. According to the division of hardware and software and different certification, network engineers are divided into hardware network engineers and software network engineers. Hardware network engineers are responsible for the maintenance and communication of physical equipment such as network hardware while software network engineers are responsible for the maintenance and application of system software and application software.
The work of network engineers mainly includes the following aspects:
1. being responsible for network connection in the machine room and system configuration between networks;
2. being responsible for the establishment and improvement of system network topology, and do a good job in system routing analysis and data sorting;
3. being responsible for the layout of computer room lines and the specification of protocols;
4. being responsible for the network connection and network sharing between computers, and the setting of security between networks;
5. being responsible for the analysis of network obstacles, and timely deal with and solve the problems in the network;
6. using the network test analyzer to optimize the existing network regularly;
7. being responsible for the layout and setting of network platform framework like java software engineers and java network engineers;
8. being responsible for information collection and input support of network platform like information technology engineers;
9. being responsible for the promotion direction and mode of network platform like network promotion masters;
10. being responsible for the operation direction and platform maintenance management of the network platform like network operation engineers;
11. being responsible for the business model and profit direction when the network platform develops to a certain stage like website business engineers and e-commerce engineers;
12. being responsible for the positioning and packaging of network products like project engineers.
Career path of network engineers:
1. Become a network administrator of small enterprises;
2. After you enter large and medium-sized enterprises and engage in the same network management work, your salary may be significantly improved;
3. Learn more comprehensive knowledge and become an ordinary network engineer;
4. Become a network engineer focusing on a certain specialty, such as a network storage engineer, a generic cabling engineer, a network security engineer, a pre-sales engineer, an after-sales engineer, etc.;
5. Progress to be an expert level engineer, such as IT project manager, network supervisor, technical expert, etc., which is also the main development direction and goal of network engineers after the age of 30.
Of course, if you want to master the above work contents and become an expert network engineer, you need to obtain the expert level certification such as CCIE and HCIE certification of well-known large enterprises. It is difficult to pass CCIE certification exam by self-study. SPOTO provides a professional curriculum system and targeted services, which can help you gradually complete the transformation from a network administrator to an expert network engineer.
