ok got a question for Adminstrators.

how many of you know binary (for IP) and how often do you calculate in ** head or paper what a IP and submask belong too?

do you just use a IP calculator?

cheers

(i'm not sure if i asking the question properly, so forgive me)

i work with NHS address' at work and they're class A networks

i gave up ages ago trying to do them in my head and just have a subnet calculator on my desktop :o
 
ok i know the difference, i normally use class C (router) and the active directory server i created uses class A ( i set auto).

Know question for you admins, will a employer mind that you need a subnet calculator?

how often do u get binary instead of standard IP and subnet?

thanks

If you're learning about basic AD setup I can guarantee that for any job you're likely to be going for, an employer would not expect you to be able to do complex subnetting in your head.

depends what job you're going for. If you're going for network engineer then they will probably ask you to do it at interview. For normal support roles etc.. you wont be asked to do it. If you're looking at network administrator roles etc.. you wont be expected to do binary IP in your head

If you are going for network engineer, they may ask you to do it in your head to proove you can do it, but wont mind if to save time you use a calculator once in the job. At the end of the day, most employers just want you to get the job done, They dont care about how elegant its done, so long as its done properly.

Thats pretty easy stuff. "knowledge of IP principles" is likely to be the differences behind Class A,B & C networks, how subnetting works, why you have it, why you would put stuff on a different subnet etc.. not rocket science

And AD is even simpler still. Just going to be knowledge of why you have it, what OUs are, group policys etc..
 
just to add they looking for employee who dont really have proper experience as they will train them. they liked my cover letter and CV.

thanks
 
TBH if you try to cram loads of knowledge now, you'll probably end up sounding like you did. Most of the time for these kinds of positions they are looking for someone with good soft skills (talking to people, good time management, etc) and often most of all someone they like and think that they will enjoy working with.
