Ubiquiti

• Configure and deploy Ubiquiti EdgeRouters and EdgeSwitches via EdgeOS CLI, focusing on dynamic routing (OSPF, BGP), firewalling, and advanced QoS.
• Deploy and manage UniFi Access Points via SSH and CLI, handling WPA2/WPA3 Enterprise configurations, VLAN tagging, and guest network isolation.
• Utilize EdgeOS CLI to configure advanced NAT, load balancing, and VPN tunneling (OpenVPN, L2TP/IPsec) for multi-site configurations.
  
  

SonicWall

• Administer SonicWall NSA/SMB firewalls via SonicOS, including custom NAT policies, deep packet inspection, content filtering, and SSLVPN configurations.
• Configure advanced site-to-site and client VPNs using CLI commands, ensuring seamless integration with cloud and remote networks.
• Utilize SonicOS CLI for dynamic routing (RIPv2, OSPF, BGP), VLAN configurations, and troubleshooting deep-packet inspection and traffic anomalies.
  
  

Network Security And Monitoring

• Configure security features such as IPsec, SSL VPNs, next-generation firewall policies, and intrusion prevention systems (IPS) on Palo Alto, SonicWall, and Juniper devices.
• Conduct security audits and compliance checks using automated scripts or CLI tools like junos-script or Panorama.
• Manage Syslog, SNMP, and NetFlow integrations into monitoring tools such as SolarWinds, PRTG, or Nagios, ensuring centralized logging and alerting from all devices.
  
  

Scripting & Automation
