📚 What Do You Learn in the CCNA Course?

The CCNA course covers a wide range of topics that form the backbone of networking knowledge. Here’s what you’ll learn:

🔌 Networking Basics

• How computers communicate over a network

• What IP addresses and subnets are

• The difference between LAN (Local Area Network) and WAN (Wide Area Network)

🧭 Routing and Switching

• How data travels from one place to another using routers

• How switches create efficient local networks

• Setting up VLANs (Virtual LANs) for better traffic management

🌐 IP Addressing & Subnetting

• Assigning IP addresses manually and automatically

• Breaking down a network into smaller sub-networks

🔐 Network Security

• Securing devices with strong passwords

• Using Access Control Lists (ACLs) to filter traffic

• Basic firewall and threat protection concepts

📶 Wireless Networking

• Basics of Wi-Fi and wireless access points

• How wireless LAN controllers work

⚙️ IP Services

• Setting up services like DHCP (automatic IP assignment), NAT (sharing internet), and DNS (domain names)

🤖 Network Automation & SDN (Software Defined Networking)

• Basics of Python for network scripting

• REST APIs and how automation simplifies large networks

🧪 Practical Experience

In the CCNA course, you’re not just studying theory. You’ll actually build networks, simulate them using tools like:

• Cisco Packet Tracer

• GNS3

• EVE-NG

You’ll practice:

• Configuring routers/switches from scratch

• Troubleshooting broken network connections

• Writing simple automation scripts

🧠 Why Learn CCNA?

Because networks are everywhere—offices, homes, the cloud, and data centers—learning how they work is a valuable skill. CCNA gives you:

• Strong fundamentals in IT networking

• Practical knowledge that companies look for

• A starting point for advanced networking, security, or cloud paths
