I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Meraki (Sydney)
Interview
Had 2 interviews - phone and face to face.
Phone to phone was basic networking questions. Face to face was a whiteboard session. You meet two different people and they draw a scenario on the board which your expected to solve. They give you very little info, but you can ask them questions and based on these qns they will give you hints
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Phone interview - basic networking qns involving routing and switching concepts as well as wireless concepts: What is stp? What's the difference between rtsp and stp? What makes rstp converge faster? Two computers are connected via a L2 switch - explain the ping concept. Also, explain how the mac table on a switch gets populated
Wireless: What's the difference between 2.4 and 5.0 GHz?
What's difference between 802.11n and 802.11 ac?
face to face interview - had 2 interviews
They ask basic trouble shooting qns but some qns are quite tricky. They will draw a diagram on the baord with very little information. Your supposed to ask them questions and flesh out the answer.
You should know your subnetting, stp, vlans,pings,arp, dhcp, dns
