How to Master CCNA

How to Master CCNA covers everything you need to know in order to pass Cisco’s CCNA Routing & Switching exam. You will learn about the basics of networking like the OSI Model, the difference between IPv4, IPv6, TCP, UDP and more. You will also learn how to configure protocols like spanning-tree, VLANs and trunking on your switches and how routers use routing protocols to build their routing table. This book covers everything for the ICND1 (100-101), ICND2 (200-101) and CCNA combined exam (200-120).
