During my time at Old Dominion University, I developed strong network configuration skills through hands-on labs and applied networking projects. I gained experience setting up and managing switches, routers, VLANs, and firewall rules in both simulated and real environments. My coursework helped me understand how to configure IP addressing, subnetting, routing protocols, and secure access controls to ensure reliable and efficient network performance. Through practical exercises and troubleshooting scenarios, I learned how to diagnose configuration issues, optimize network settings, and implement best practices for stability and security. These experiences gave me a solid foundation in building and maintaining properly configured network systems.
