Why we read it this way (6)

The posting lists 'Contract/Full-Time' as the employment type; this has been classified as Contract given the explicit 12+ month contract duration framing. If the role converts to full-time, the engagement type may change.

A Bachelor's degree is listed only under 'Preferred Qualifications', so no minimum degree requirement has been set.

Network automation via Python or Ansible is explicitly called 'a plus' in the Required Skills section, so it has been marked as preferred.

Cisco certifications (CCNA, CCNP, CCIE) appear only under Preferred Qualifications and are treated as preferred accordingly.

Cloud networking (AWS/Azure) appears in the Required Skills section with an 'and/or' qualifier; both are captured as a single skill with Azure as an alternative.

Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
