Cisco Certified Network Associate

(CCNA) 1. Summary:
Accreditation: Cisco, a top supplier of
network hardware and software, offers the
CCNA certification. It attests to a person's
proficiency with Cisco equipment in the
configuration, administration, and
troubleshooting of small to medium-sized
networks. It's frequently the start of a
networking career.

Subjects Discussed:

Understanding the various types of


networks (LAN, WAN), as well as
fundamental network components like
switches and routers, is part of network
fundamentals. The OSI model, which
explains how data moves across a network,
is another thing you learn.
IP addressing is the study of how devices
in a network are given distinct IP addresses
(either IPv4 or IPv6) and how to create
subnets inside networks.
Learn how to set up and maintain
networking equipment, including wifi,
firewalls, switches, and routers.

Fundamentals of Computer Networking: Essential Ideas

Network: A group of computers, printers, and servers that are


linked together to share resources like files, printers, and
internet access is called a network.
Data communication is the movement of information between
two or more devices. It is controlled by a number of protocols
that guarantee the information is sent effectively and
dependably.
A protocol is a collection of guidelines that control the
transfer of data. Examples include HTTP (used for web
browsing) and TCP/IP (used for internet communication).
IP addressing: To identify a device in a network, each one is
given a distinct IP address. For devices on various networks to
communicate and route, IP addresses are necessary.
By converting human-readable domain names, such as
www.example.com, into machine-readable IP addresses, DNS
(Domain Name System) enables browsers.

Internet Protocol Addressing:

The most widely used IP addressing version is IPv4, which


uses a 32-bit address format (e.g., 192.168.0.1). Due to
address exhaustion, IPv4 is being replaced by IPv6.
A much bigger address space is provided by IPv6, a more
recent version of IP addressing with a 128-bit address
structure (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334).
Subnetting is the technique of splitting a network into smaller
subnetworks in order to improve performance and better
control traffic.
Devices for networks:

A router is a device that determines the optimal path for data


packets as they are routed between various networks (LAN to
WAN, for example).
A switch is a network device that links several devices
together and forwards data according to MAC addresses.
Hub: An antiquated gadget that joins devices in a network and
disseminates information to every device; less effective than
Crucial Instruments and Technologies:
Packet Tracer: A Cisco simulation program that helps students
practice networking topics without requiring actual hardware
by modeling and simulating networks.
Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer used for network
analysis and troubleshooting that records and examines data
packets sent over a network.
Cisco IOS: The operating system that enables configuration
and management of Cisco network devices, such as switches
and routers.
The set of communication protocols known as the TCP/IP
stack serves as the foundation for the internet. IP (Internet
Protocol) manages addressing and routing, whereas TCP
(Transmission Control Protocol) guarantees dependable
communication.
