@thedatabunny I’m not arguing with u dude! I’m just advising you. If you get your CCNP it doesn’t class you as some sort of expert engineer. It’s just letters.

[ConRouterX ☁️ @ConRouterX]

@thedatabunny I think you’re placing too much emphasis on certs. I’ve seen CCNPs who are borderline useless and the best engineers I’ve worked with have no certs. CCNA vs CCNP is negligible imo. Experience and skills are what matter, not letters…

@John_Capobianco This looks really good so far…I’m just seeing it for the first time so don’t have much context about this but will be following along to see the progress. Looking to implement something just like this soon! Great stuff 👍

@roundarway Unreal! Aiden Heavan sent them to you?!?!? 😉

2025 and certificates didn’t go to plan for me. Now I am doubling down and setting new goals:

Here is my plan:

Cloud: AWS advanced networking specialty

Security: CISSP

Automation: Cisco DEVNET Professional

@AlternativeMUFC Relatively new round here but where are all the comms videos gone?

@roodmurat I’ve worked with many cyber engineers over the years and can always tell how weak they are when it comes to actual networking. Most are clueless but hide it well. I’d advise CCNA at a minimum if you want to work in Cyber.

@thedatabunny That’s cool for sure…I need to start looking into MCP

@db_fink Not gonna lie but Jaguar/Land Rover are built and designed by what you would refer to as “retards”. I know they are a sweet looking car and plush interior etc but when you work on these you can see how bad every little detail is in these things. Get comfortable with that garage

@CloudTechJay Nice…never thought about doing something like that…would make for an interesting lab environment

[ConRouterX ☁️ @ConRouterX]

Planning on starting my labbing for Arista ACE l3 very soon. Hoping to get VM spun up so I can deploy containerlab. Never used it before but hearing good things…

Palo Alto or Fortinet?

As a “traditional” network engineer, I still work very little on or in the cloud. I’ve added some Direct Connect and built a few VPCs but that’s about it. Still finding it all a bit strange.

Anyone else like that?

Let me know what ways you are seeing AI transform your job as a network engineer…

Hit follow if you found this mildly interesting

As a network engineer, you won’t lose your job to AI.

You may lose your job to network engineers who know how to utilize AI to be a more efficient engineer.

Here are my Top 5 AI tools for a network engineer 🧵

[ConRouterX ☁️ @ConRouterX]

2: Day 1 Networking:
Use Claude Code to help build python scripts to test the foundations of your network. Building scripts is easy when you let the AI do the heavy lifting. Have a script return BGP peerings, interface stats, CRC errors, switchport vlan mappings etc.

5: Wireshark analysis (my favourite):
Upload a Wireshark capture to MS CoPilot and ask it to diagnose the problem you are having. Great way to quickly get an idea of the issue you are facing!

4: Advanced troubleshooting:
Not quite sure what is causing the slow downloads in a network? Ask grok to help troubleshoot your exact scenario and it can take you through a whole scenario of use cases which can help narrow it down for you. Great for newer engineers…

3: Day 2 Troubleshooting:
Junipers MIST AI uses machine learning to alert you to potential switch or router issues before they happen. Expect more tools like this in the near future.
