  • Routing Table and Path Selection: Understanding how routing decisions are made and how to manage routing tables.
  • Advanced Switching: Configuring advanced switching features like VLANs, VTP, and Inter-VLAN routing.
  • High Availability Networks: Designing networks for redundancy and fault tolerance (HSRP, GLBP).
  • Quality of Service (QoS): Implementing QoS for traffic management and prioritization in a network.
  • IPv6 Addressing: Advanced IPv6 configuration and its benefits for modern networks.
  • Basic Network Security: Understanding firewalls, access control lists (ACLs), and secure network design principles.
  • Configuring Secure Routing: Techniques to secure routing protocols and prevent unauthorized access.
  • VPN and Remote Access: Configuring VPNs and secure remote access for users.
  • Implementing Security Policies: Best practices for implementing security policies and device hardening.
  • Introduction to SDN: Understanding the concept of Software-Defined Networking and its applications in modern networks.
  • Network Automation Tools: Introduction to network automation tools like Ansible, Python scripting, and Cisco DNA Center.
  • Managing Networks with Automation: Automating network tasks and configurations using scripting and SDN technologies.
  • Cloud Integration: Leveraging cloud technologies in a Cisco-based network environment.
  • Network Troubleshooting Techniques: Methods and tools for diagnosing and fixing network problems (ping, traceroute, etc.).
  • Troubleshooting Routing and Switching Issues: Common issues with routing protocols and switch configurations and how to resolve them.
  • Analyzing Packet Flow: Using tools like Wireshark and Cisco Packet Tracer for analyzing network traffic.
  • Best Practices for Network Management: Documenting network configurations, implementing change management, and following industry best practices.
  • Exam Structure and Topics: Reviewing the exam objectives for both the CCNA and CCNP certifications.
  • Mock Exams and Practice Tests: Taking practice exams to assess readiness for certification exams.
  • Study Tips and Resources: Guidance on how to effectively study for the Cisco exams and use available resources.
  • Final Exam Simulation: Completing a final exam simulation to reinforce knowledge and exam strategies.
  • Creating a Network Engineer Portfolio: Developing a professional portfolio showcasing networking projects, configurations, and troubleshooting examples.
  • Career Development: Resume building, LinkedIn profile optimization, and interview preparation for network engineering and administration roles.
  • Job Placement Assistance: Guidance on applying for network-related job roles and connecting with employers in the networking field.

Certification
