I applied through the university portal.

It was a screening round covering basic networking topics. I connected with the interviewer via Google Meet.

The session lasted almost an hour. There were supposed to be two interviewers, but only one showed up.

It went smoothly and the interviewer was kind.

Regarding DHCP messages:

Why are specific messages broadcast while others are not? Later, we went in-depth into the process of obtaining an IP address.

I was asked about ARP in a Layer 3 switch scenario. They also asked how encapsulation works and about the Ethernet header fields.

We discussed OSPF neighboring stages in-depth and the significance of areas.

My projects on my resume were also discussed.
