These courses focus on specific foundational skills in network engineering to help you pass the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) exam on your first attempt, along with preparing you for your first job as a network engineer. This page also lists free courses and other resources for new engineers and anyone curious about network engineering.
This is a combination lectures and hands-on lab that will teach you how to subnet quickly and accurately, what MAC and IP addresses are and how they are used, IANA regulations, network types and topologies, and more. This course is the perfect starting point for all CCNA exam candidates because it teaches the foundational knowledge of networks and IP addresses.
This deeply detailed network engineering course teaches you how to build a fully functioning network from start to finish, adding to your knowledge as you go along. This course includes routing, switching, ether-channel, VLANs, remote SSH, system-logging, DHCP server building, and much more.
A massive over 5-hour course where you will learn the basics of data center functions, server room, and equipment room common network engineering tasks. This vocational course combines command line configurations including IPSEC, HSRP, and more, with visits to actual equipment rooms to show you real equipment and how networks are maintained.
A deep dive into CCNA exam goals for understanding how to configure VLANs on routers and switches, including configuring trunk ports, sub-interfaces, and learning various VLAN-specific show commands for effective security and troubleshooting.
100 of the most often used configurations in network engineering specific to Cisco devices and the CCNA and CCNP exams. An excellent reference book for any aspiring network engineer.
100 of the most often used configurations in network engineering specific to Cisco devices and the CCNA and CCNP exams. E-book version of the original hardcopy book.
Some CCNA subjects can be more challenging than others. I hope these free courses will help you.
In this CCNA exam goal course explores the Open Shortest Path First routing protocol in detail, as it is a hands-on lab where we build multiple classful networks and configure them to communicate using OSPF. This course also includes troubleshooting commands specific to OSPF, demonstrated and explained.
The Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) allows for networks with two or more gateway routers to act as back-ups in case the main gateway router fails. In this course, you will learn how to configure and deploy HSRP. This protocol is also featured in the DATA CENTER TECH course.
