My team manages a mid-sized data center that runs almost entirely on Cisco switches, routers, and firewalls. I need an experienced network engineer to jump in on a contract basis and keep everything running smoothly. Day-to-day work revolves around classic routing & switching tasks—think VLAN design, trunking, OSPF and basic BGP tuning, plus the inevitable “why can’t that server talk to that subnet?” moments. The core stack is Cisco IOS/IOS-XE with a mix of Catalyst and ISR hardware. Because this installation underpins production workloads, fast-paced troubleshooting is as important as clean architecture. You should be fully at home with TCP/IP and the OSI model, comfortable tracing packets through multiple hops, and ready to document changes clearly for hand-off. Basic Linux and Windows networking skills are helpful; firewalls and VPN appliances are already in place, so your focus will stay on switching, routing, and interface-level tweaks rather than security rule-sets. Deliverables I expect for each engagement • A concise change plan or troubleshooting log before work begins • Updated running-config/startup-config backups after edits • A short post-task report summarizing what was done and any follow-up actions

Hello, I’m an experienced network engineer with strong hands-on background operating Cisco-based data centers running IOS and IOS-XE on Catalyst and ISR platforms. I regularly handle production routing and switching environments where stability, speed, and clean documentation matter. How I can help • VLAN design, trunking, and access layer cleanup • OSPF troubleshooting and tuning; basic BGP adjustments • Interface-level debugging and packet-path analysis • Fast root-cause analysis for inter-subnet connectivity issues • Confident troubleshooting using TCP/IP and OSI fundamentals I’m comfortable tracing traffic across multiple hops, isolating layer-2 vs layer-3 issues, and making precise changes without disrupting live workloads. I work cleanly and always plan changes before touching production. What you’ll get each time ✔ Clear change plan or troubleshooting notes before work ✔ Updated running-config and startup-config backups ✔ Short post-task summary with findings and next steps I also have working knowledge of Linux and Windows networking, which helps when diagnosing server-to-network issues, even when firewalls and VPNs are already in place. If you need someone who can jump in quickly, fix problems under pressure, and leave the network better documented than before, let’s talk. Best regards, Nima
