• Manage various Security platforms; Juniper, Cisco ASA, Next-Gen, Check Point firewalls.

• Implemented Active-Passive cluster setup between two Juniper SRX’s and Active-Active pair on Juniper MX

  960 Routers for high availability.

• Included security groups, network ACLs, Internet Gateways, and Elastic IP's to ensure a safe area for the

  organization in AWS public cloud.

• Created new redundant Ethernet interfaces with enabling LACP and created new VLAN’s under each

  interface.

• Implemented new eBGP relationship between Juniper QFX Spine switches and Firewalls for route

  advertisement.

• Configured and troubleshooting HSRP, BGP, OSPF, DMVPN, MPLS WAN, QoS and Route Maps.

• Created Route leaks and Route Filters to advertise routes between multiple virtual routing instances.

• Installing and Configuring Nexus 9k, Cisco 6500, 4500, 3800 and 3600 switching platforms according to

  deployment plans.

• Designed IP Addressing schemes, VLANs and Switch port assignments, Ether-channel implementation.

• Implemented, configured redundancy protocols HSRP VRRP, GLBP for Default Gateway Redundancy.

• Implementing, configuring, and troubleshooting various routing protocols like OSPF, iBGP, eBGP.

• Interacted with application owners to understand their application flow for migrating servers to new DR

  Data Center.

• Performance monitoring of applications and web servers to maintain quality of service and network stability.

• Maintained core switches, creating VLAN's and configuring VTP.

• Designed and Implemented PA 7080’s and Migrated workloads from Legacy and Existing DR Data Center SRX Firewalls to Next Gen Palo Alto Firewalls.

• Created multiple Virtual systems on Palo Alto and connected virtual system-1 to Juniper QFX Spines for supporting Juniper QFabric to QFX Migrations and Connecting virtual system-2 to Cisco Border Leaf’s for supporting workload migration to Vx Block.

• Involved in simplifying Network architecture by consolidating almost 30 Virtual Routers from legacy devices to 6 virtual routers in new environment.

• Upgrade and maintenance of all production Juniper, Cisco and Palo Alto network devices.

• Involved in Application failover testing between data centers and Data Center DR testing.

• Troubleshooted data Center network issues and WAN backhaul network issues.

• Created Virtual Routers in Palo Alto Firewalls using Hub Spoke architecture. Route redistribution concept is

  used to advertise routes with route filters on Hub.

• Configured Firewalls with multiple virtual routers and assigned security zones to respective virtual routers.

• High availability setup between two Palo Alto devices with Link monitoring enabled and testing in different

  conditions.

• Connected Enterprise and Data Center Firewalls to Panorama M-600’s for management purposes.

• Configured different security profiles like Antivirus, Anti-spyware, Vulnerability protection, URL Filtering and

  DOS protection profiles to defend against flood attacks, Reconnaissance attacks, viruses, trojans, malware

  and unauthorized access etc and attaching them to security policies.

• Created Admin Roles, Server Profiles, Authentication Profiles and log settings, Interface Management and

  Zone protection profiles.

• Migrated IPSEC Tunnels from Juniper to Palo Alto.

• Created NAT and Security policies using APP-ID concept on Palo alto and tagging each security policy based

  on application to make management simpler.

• Suggesting Best Practices for network and security perspective workload migration to make migrations

  smooth.
