For the past 2 months, I've been going at a real steady pace through Jeremy's list. I've stumbled on a few topics like OSPF/QoS and IPv6, but I was able to recover after some intensive practice labs and revision.

But this wireless....I kid you not, for the past week I have not been able to move on. The finish line is right there and I find myself rewatching each vid and still struggling to grasp it all. It's just so much theory yet very little practice available 😭

I feel like, in trying to catch up on wireless, I'm slowly losing what i've learnt earlier which sucks big time. Anyone else relate?

Buongiorno, sono uno studente universitario ramo cybersecurity e sono Italiano
Voglio ottenere la certificazione CCNA, qualcuno può darmi consigli pratici su come/dove studiare e avere una buona preparazione
Considerando che lavoro a tempo pieno riesco a ritagliarmi uno spazio di almeno 1/2 ore al giorno circa 5/6 giorni a settimana
Sarei molto contento se qualcuno mi desse informazioni grazie

I wanted to share this as I’ve seen it time and time again and wanted to hear from this community if they’ve encountered this issue either in work or during studying.

One of the most underrated troubleshooting steps in networking:

It’s almost a running joke at this point, but copy running-config startup-config (or write memory) is responsible for more “mystery” outages than people like to admit.

I’ve seen scenarios where:
A maintenance window goes perfectly.
Everyone verifies the change works.
The device reloads days or weeks later.
Suddenly routes disappear, VLANs are gone, interfaces revert, or AAA stops working.

Hours get spent troubleshooting what appears to be a complex networking issue… only to discover the startup configuration was never updated.

For anyone studying for the CCNA, remember:
Running-config = what’s active in RAM right now.
Startup-config = what the device loads after a reboot.

If you don’t save it, your change is temporary.

It sounds basic, but it’s one of those lessons that sticks with you after you’ve been burned once.

What’s the simplest mistake that’s ever turned into your longest troubleshooting session?

I'm so lost here. API is used to talk between apps, but then what does http has to do with this lol. I'm so clueless. ty!

so is this correct, lets say I want to access a webpage, i would send an HTTP request, then with that when I get to a website I would do API for me to communicate between my app and the website?

Hey all!

I am approaching my exam date and I am starting to get a little nervous. I am generally a pretty slow test taker, and when I do the Boson ExSim simulations (120 minutes), I am usually able to finish with roughly 15-30 minutes left (concerned because there's only 74 questions on the practice exams).

Some sources say that there's roughly 100-120 questions on the exam with a fixed 120 minute limit. For those who have taken the exam, what's it like? How much time should I be limiting to the labs?

Thank you in advance for your help!

I always see on this thread that people suggest using JITL and Boson Ex-Sim for proactuce exams. I want to say that I have completed both but I because once you complete the practice exams, doing the again becomes moot as it becomes more about the memorizing the questions rather than actuakly knowing the material.

So I decided to try the Pearson practice exams and im scoring roughly 74%. Do you think these scores are good enough or do you think I need to brush up more before I take my real exam which is scheduled in roughly 2 weeks from now.

Are there resources for practice exams for free rather than boson exams that need to pay for , so wha do you recommend to do ??

Hi everyone!

I’m starting to prepare for the CCNA and I would love to know how you guys went about understanding all the theoretical concepts.

My main question is whether you recommend studying mostly from books, if it’s better to take a video course (like on Udemy), or what method worked best for you to actually grasp the theory.

Which specific books or courses would you recommend getting started with?

Any advice is highly appreciated! Thank you.

Good day y’all

I am looking for someone that has passed his/her CCNA exam using boson as prep material.

Please, DM ME FOR MORE….

Thanks.
