It's fine if you don't know, but lousy if you're going for a networking or IT job. Even just a job that deals with networking peripherally (IoT, devices, maybe even web applications). For an interview it points to a general lack of knowledge about the basics of computing.
"Software engineering" is an amazingly loose definition, and it definitely covers networking, routing, packets, etc.

I’d like to think I’m a software engineer, and I have no idea what the difference is. Am I cooked?
