Hi, welcome to the Certification Kits presentation on how to build your very own CCENT/ CCNA home lab. A common question we get is, how many routers to I really need in my lab? As you can see on the slide on the screen, one router will give you the ability to run the commands
For today’s CCENT / CCNA certification exam topic we are going to cover Spanning Tree Protocol. STP is one of the more confusing topics you may encounter on the CCENT and CCNA exams.

One of the new topics on the revised Cisco Certified Network Associate 200-120 and Cisco Certified Entry Networking technician 100-101 exam is Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol. This is an enhancement to Spanning Tree Protocol as the world of networking technologies continue to evolve. So for most CCNA candidates STP was difficult and confusing enough. Now
One of the reasons the CCENT (Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician) and the CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) certifications are sought after by is they are not easy to obtain. You have to show a real proficiency in networking and how the TCP/IP protocol works. By passing these exams you demonstrate to employers that you
So as we dig deeper into the OpenSSL Heartbleed vulnerability, it has come to light that both Cisco and Juniper products have been compromised. The OpenSSL flaw will let the bad guys work around the security of the SSL protocol and possibly gain access to things like your user names, password, credit card data and
Once students pass their Cisco CCNA R&S exam, generally the next question is what is the next Cisco certification that you will tackle? Do I want to proceed to obtain my Cisco CCNA Security, CCNA Voice, CCNA Wireless or CCNP certification? For each person the answer may be a little bit different. Ultimately you should
