Cisco Certified Network Associate
The complete
CCNA roadmap.
A student-first path aligned to the current Cisco 200-301 CCNA v1.1 blueprint—sequenced for understanding, practical repetition, and exam readiness.
The ITCertFoundry study loop
Configure the lab
Verify the behavior
Review weak areas
Exam domain
Network Fundamentals
Build the mental model: network components, architectures, cabling, TCP and UDP, IPv4 and IPv6 addressing, wireless principles, virtualization, switching concepts, and AI/ML fundamentals.
Practical reinforcement
IPv4 addressing and subnettingIPv6 address verificationSwitch forwarding behaviorExam domain
Network Access
Learn how devices reach the network through VLANs, trunks, discovery protocols, EtherChannel, Rapid PVST+, wireless architectures, and secure management access.
Practical reinforcement
VLAN and trunk configurationEtherChannel verificationWireless access configurationExam domain
IP Connectivity
Master how routers make forwarding decisions and implement static routing, single-area OSPFv2, first-hop redundancy, and route verification.
Practical reinforcement
IPv4 and IPv6 static routesSingle-area OSPFv2Routing-table troubleshootingExam domain
IP Services
Configure and explain the services networks depend on, including NAT, NTP, DHCP, DNS, SNMP, syslog, QoS, SSH, and TFTP/FTP.
Practical reinforcement
Inside source NATNTP client and serverDHCP relay and SSH accessExam domain
Security Fundamentals
