Linux for Network Engineers – Lesson 1: Getting Started
Why Linux for Network Engineers Matters Okay so we’re starting the Linux for network engineers…
Personal Blog.
I’m Richard Killeen, a Network Automation and Network Engineer working in the ISP space in North West England.
This site documents my journey through the CCIE Service Provider certification, network automation tooling like Ansible and pyATS, and real-world routing labs using Cisco IOS-XR and Junos.
I share workbooks, scripts, EVE-NG topologies, and blog posts aimed at engineers, students, and automation enthusiasts.
If you’re studying for CCNP, CCIE, or looking to streamline network operations, you’ll find practical content here that goes beyond theory.
You will find on my GitHub links to many labs and scripts that can be reused as well as many downloadable resources located within my blog posts.
CCNP / CCIE Posts
Discover informative articles on Cisco Service Provider technologies and stay updated with development that can ignite your learning.
Follow along with bespoke videos and workbooks designed to explain and demonstrate a vast array of networking consepts and all resources are freely provided.
Network Automation
Offering a platform to navigate the ever changing would of Automation, from explainer guides to working scripts for pyATS, Ansible and more.
If automation sparks your intrest then you should find some helpful guides, I will be providing full labs for Ansible, pyATS, Netconf and much more and together we can smash it
Python
We are all network engineers and are at home on the CLI regardless of vendor. In todays world we also need to know Python and together we will brave it.
Python training will be structured with networking and automation in mind, no more learning ‘Hello World’ instead all examples will be network based and will showcase real world examples
