Reasoning For Pursuing The Certification
#

Having transitioned to a VoIP network engineer role from a VoIP network operations role, I’m pursuing CCNA certification to solidify my understanding of the core network backbone. This knowledge is crucial for optimizing and troubleshooting our Cisco VoIP infrastructure more effectively in my current position. Having a deeper understanding of core concepts for other work centers enables better collaboration and faster resolution.
