Networking Basics CCNA 1 Labs and Study Guide supplements version 3.1.1 of the Cisco® Networking Academy® Program CCNA® 1. This guide maximizes your understanding of networking basics, including the fundamentals of Ethernet technologies, TCP/IP, network media, IP addressing, and routing.
Each chapter contains a Study Guide section and a Lab Exercises section. Keep all your completed work on hand in this book to study from later, or take advantage of the perforated pages to tear out and hand in specific material for homework assignments.
Study Guide
To reinforce your comprehension of the essential concepts from this course, take advantage of more than 120 exercises of various types, including:
- Terminology identification and application
- Concept questions
- Internet research activities
- Journal entries
Lab Exercises
This book includes the 48 labs from the online course with an additional 12 labs in which you can apply your knowledge about the technologies and concepts introduced. You’ll get ample opportunity for hands-on practice in three different types of labs:
- Curriculum Labs are step-by-step exercises designed to introduce you to new concepts. Presenting you with detailed instructions and sometimes additional explanations for completing the lab, Curriculum Labs come directly from the CCNA 1 online course.
- Comprehensive Labs combine the concepts learned from the course and Curriculum Labs into new experiments. These exercises provide minimal guidance. You are encouraged to complete the Curriculum Labs before moving on to a Comprehensive Lab.
- Challenge Labs require a thorough understanding of the previously learned network concepts. You should complete all Curriculum Labs and Comprehensive Labs before attempting a Challenge Lab.
After completing all the exercises and hands-on labs in this book, you will be well prepared to continue your networking education in the CCNA courses that follow.
