Description
Cisco CCNA is one of the most recognized certifications in the IT industry. If you've taken my courses before, you know I’ve taught content from top vendors like MikroTik, Ubiquiti, Huawei, and LigoWave. What many don’t know is that I began my career working exclusively with Cisco equipment—and most of my professional experience is rooted in Cisco technologies. Over the past 17 years, I’ve earned certifications from CCNA to CCNP, along with multiple Cisco Specialist titles.
Throughout my career, I’ve helped thousands of students successfully achieve their CCNA certification. Now, I’ve created this comprehensive Cisco course to help you do the same—specifically tailored to prepare you for the latest CCNA 200-301 exam.
This course fully covers the CCNA 200-301 curriculum, aligning with the Cisco Press books (Volume 1 & 2) and includes both theoretical explanations and practical labs.
Topics covered include:
- Introduction to Networking
- Initial Configuration of Cisco Switches and Routers
- LANs and VLANs
- Spanning Tree Protocol & EtherChannel
- IPv4 and IPv6 Addressing & Routing
- Inter-VLAN Routing, Router-on-a-Stick, L3 EtherChannel
