CCNA 200-301 is Cisco's flagship associate-level certification — the most widely recognised networking cert globally. It covers network fundamentals, network access, IP connectivity, IP services, security fundamentals, and automation/programmability. Hands-on configuration ability is expected.
Prerequisites
No formal prerequisites, but solid TCP/IP fundamentals (Network+ level) and hands-on practice with Cisco IOS (or simulators like Packet Tracer / GNS3 / EVE-NG) are essential.
Career outcomes
Five focus areas with the weight each domain carries on the real exam. We have practice questions and PBQs for every domain.
Network Fundamentals
Components, topologies, cabling, IPv4/IPv6, wireless, virtualization.
Network Access
VLANs, trunking, EtherChannel, RSTP, wireless WLC fundamentals.
IP Connectivity
Routing, OSPFv2, FHRPs, static routing, troubleshooting.
IP Services
NAT, NTP, DHCP, DNS, SNMP, syslog, QoS, SSH.
Security Fundamentals
Concepts, ACLs, port security, wireless security, AAA.
Automation & Programmability
SDN, controllers, REST APIs, JSON, Ansible, Puppet, Chef basics.
Curated MCQs
Hundreds of CCNA MCQs aligned to every objective. Filter by domain, difficulty, or take a full timed exam.
6 PBQ simulation types
Firewall configs, log analysis, terminal investigations, network configs, drag-drops, troubleshoot wizards — exam-realistic.
Video lessons by domain
Walkthroughs for each CCNA domain. Watch, then quiz yourself.
AI tutor on every question
Stuck? Ask the AI tutor. It's grounded in this cert's objectives, not generic web answers.
Flashcards with spaced repetition
AI-generated decks for each domain. Review the cards you keep getting wrong.
Per-domain analytics
See exactly which CCNA domains need more work. Stop guessing what to study.
Based on what we've seen work for CCNA candidates. Adjust to your pace — most people land between 4 and 10 weeks.
Week 1–2
Network fundamentals + addressing. Subnetting drills until automatic.
Week 3–4
Network access — VLANs, trunking, EtherChannel. Configure in Packet Tracer.
Week 5–6
IP connectivity (routing). OSPFv2 is the dominant topic.
Week 7
IP services, security fundamentals, automation. Then full practice exams.
How is 200-301 different from the old CCNA tracks?
In 2020 Cisco consolidated CCNA R&S, CCNA Security, CCNA Wireless etc. into a single 200-301 exam. There's no more "CCNA Security" — that content is now split across CCNA + the CCNP / specialist tracks.
Do I need real Cisco gear?
No. Cisco Packet Tracer (free) is enough for ~90% of the lab work. GNS3 or Cisco Modeling Labs work too.
How long should I study?
Most candidates need 8–12 weeks at 1.5–2 hours per day. Strong networking background can compress to 6 weeks.
