Systems & Network Administrator interview questions: the 8 to ask
A systems and network administrator keeps infrastructure available, secure and fast.
- 1.A server is slow: where do you start?
- 2.How do you secure SSH access?
- 3.How do you organise backups and test restores?
- 4.Explain DNS resolution.
- 5.How do you handle security patches?
- 6.How do you diagnose lost connectivity?
- 7.How do you automate repetitive tasks?
- 8.Tell me about a major outage you handled.
Tip: for every answer, ask for a concrete example (situation, action, result). An answer without an example is worth half.
