What is the difference between Network Engineering vs Network Administration?

AspectNetwork EngineeringNetwork Administration
CertificationsCCNA, CCNP, Cisco Certified Network ProfessionalCCNA, CompTIA Network+
Work EnvironmentDesigning, planning, and implementing network solutionsManaging, maintaining, and troubleshooting existing networks
ResponsibilitiesBuilding new networks, optimizing performance, and scaling infrastructureMonitoring network health, configuring devices, and resolving issues

Network engineering focuses on designing and developing network systems, while network administration involves managing and maintaining those networks. Both roles require similar certifications and often work closely within the same industry, but their core functions differ in scope and focus.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Network Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Network Engineer, you need a solid understanding of networking protocols, network design, troubleshooting, and a degree in computer science or a related field. Familiarity with routers, switches, firewalls, and certifications like Cisco CCNA/CCNP or CompTIA Network+ are typically required. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help network engineers excel in diagnosing issues and collaborating across teams. These skills are critical to ensure reliable, secure, and efficient network operations within an organization.

What is network engineering?

Network engineering is a field of information technology focused on designing, implementing, managing, and maintaining computer networks. Network engineers ensure that data can move efficiently and securely between devices and locations, whether within a single office or across the globe.

  • Support BGP, OSPF, static routing, route filtering, redistribution, and network failover designs.
  • Assist with firewall migrations, policy cleanups, network segmentation, and data center connectivity projects.
  • Monitor network health, performance, and availability using CloudVision, firewall logs, and other monitoring platforms.
  • Develop and maintain network documentation, diagrams, standards, implementation plans, and operational procedures.
  • Participate in change management processes, including risk analysis, backout planning, implementation steps, and post-change validation.
  • Work with vendors and support teams to resolve hardware, software, circuit, and platform-related issues.
  • Support incident response by isolating whether issues are network, firewall, endpoint, application, or authentication related.
  • Provide escalation support for service desk and infrastructure teams.
  • All other duties as assigned.

What you’ll bring (Qualifications)
