The CCNA certification may be the first step in your cert journey, but don’t kid yourself: that first step is a tall one. The CCNA is the first and steepest hill to climb on your way to network mastery, and if you’re going to make it to the top, you’ll need a guide.
Our CCNA study guide breaks down the cert knowledge into more than 40 sections, each section building on the previous one, so that you can learn to apply previous information to each new challenge. The eBook also includes networking practice exercises, case studies, and step-by-step tutorials on topics ranging from TCP/IP transport to subnetting to troubleshooting Frame Relay.
