Are you sure they are interview questions? Looks like homework to me.

If you can't answer those questions, then clearly you're not cut out for that job.

Do you want fries with that?

I would avoid that link. It opens tons of windows and starts doing redirects.

All of the question in the 'CCNA/Cisco admin interview questions' section may be useful for reviewing for a CCNA, but they are 99.9% useless in the real world. Ask about ACLs or netmasks or routing instead if you want a worthwhile interview.

CCNA/Cisco admin interview questions

1. You need to retrieve a file from the file server for your word processing application, which layer of the OSI model is responsible for this function?
1. Presentation layer
2. Application layer
3. Session layer
4. Transport layer
5. Datalink layer
2. You are working in a word processing program, which is run from the file server. Your data comes back to you in an unintelligible manner. Which layer of the OSI model would you investigate?
1. Application layer
2. Presentation layer
3. Session layer
4. Network layer
5. Datalink layer

My answer to 2 of the questions:

1. All layers
2. Only 1 & 2 if I'm able to open another file for another application such as Excel. If I'm unable to open other files, then I will start with 3-5.

Do anyone disagree?

In response to Dinger, here are some more interview questions:

9. How do you display a routing table on a Cisco? On a host?
10. How do you use a routing table and for what?
11. What is a route flap?
12. What is a metric?
13. When do you use BGP, IGRP, OSPF, Static Routes?

ACLs

* What are they
* Diff types
* Write an example if you want to allow and to deny…
* Well-known port numbers (DNS - 53 and etc…)

I value honesty, curiosity, and ability to learn far more than existing knowledge.

I interview folks by going line by line on their resume asking questions. If you can't back up each line item with some information, it had no business being on there, and I assume you lied. I will never recommend a liar. I don't need folks that I can't trust.

After they pass that, I like casual discussions about existing projects and real world things we've run in to. I like seeing how folks troubleshoot and what conclusions they came to after the event.

Documentation, documentation, documentation.

You can be the best network engineer the world has ever seen but if you don't document anything then how is anyone else going to be able to troubleshoot/fix the network without having to spend lots of time first figuring it out?

I predict the previous poster will turn out to be a spammer

They seem to love this thread

There is nothing like using a search box to find things. Except finding things without using a search box.
