Experience years scale with education level: 16 years (HS), 14 years (AS/AA), 12 years (BS/BA), 10 years (MS/MA), 7 years (PhD). The minimum of 12 years is used for the overall years minimum, reflecting the most common degree baseline (BS/BA).

The posting lists network operating systems with examples 'Cisco, Novell and Windows Server' — Cisco IOS is captured as the primary with the others as alternatives, since these are illustrative examples of the same requirement.
