Network specialist training with certification
Whenever an aspiring network engineer goes out to apply for jobs as a network engineer, the job description does not only ask for certification coverage like CCNA and/or CCNP but these job descriptions also ask for advanced skills like firewall configuration and network automation.
If you want to stay average, you may stick to just CCNA and CCNP. However, if you want to attract 2x better package than a conventional Network Engineer, you must go ahead with advanced skills like firewall and network automation.
When we talk about Firewall, we majorly talk about the industry leaders like Palo Alto, Fortigate and Checkpoint firewalls. In addition, it is also good to have F5 LTM load balancer skills under your belt.
