 * Strong knowledge ofEthernet switching and routing fundamentalsin production environments:
 * VLANs/802.1Q, trunking, STP/RSTP; comfort discussing failure modes and convergence.
 * Practical L2/L3 troubleshooting skills (packet/port-level thinking).
 * Experience designing or supportingresilient industrial network topologies(ring/redundancy concepts required; MRP is a strong plus).
