Best Cisco CCNA Tutorials
I need your advice on the best Cisco CCNA tutorials.
Sometimes you need to go to the source. The site LearningNetwork dot Cisco dot com has tutorials on the CCNA.
They charge you to take the online classes to prepare for the exams. I want to be able to afford their classes.
Study dash CCNA dot com is a free tutorial site for the CCNA, covering the basics from TCP/IP models to the Ethernet to cabling to network protocols. It has sections on the Cisco IOS, too, but I do not know if they keep it up to date.
I suppose that’s the price you pay for free content.
Most of the IOS commands have not changed in years, and the RIP version 2 is good until they come out with RIPv3.
What do you think of Learners dot TV dot com?
Their computer science lectures for the CCNA have sections on Windows XP and Vista, so you know it is way behind the curve since we’re up to Windows 10. While they have lessons on packet tracing and subnetting, the content’s mostly too old to bother.
You said a lot of the content has not changed for years.
Do not risk becoming obsolete by learning all of last decade’s stuff and then trying to catch up. Learn it right the first time.
So where can I do that right the first time, for free?
The ICT Tutorial Channel on Youtube has free CCNA tutorials. INEtraining has decent tutorials on CCNA as well as the CCNP and CCIE.
Is it up to date?
They had tutorials on the changes for the CCIE SPv4 exam format changes for 2015, and we were just talking about a site that had free CCNA lessons for Windows XP. It’s as up to date as you’ll get.
Short of paying for the content.
It’s better than getting the CCNA for stupid people books at the library and hoping it is not obsolete.
I’d rather get practice for absorbing information by staring at a screen
The Omnisecu dot com site has lessons for the Cisco Certified Network Associate, including lessons on installing solarwinds TFTP, router naming conventions, router interface configuration commands and ACLs.
What is an ACL?
Just another TLA, three letter acronym. In this case, it stands for access control lists.
That’s how you set up lists to limit access to ports and other things.
At least you know something. I do not know how up to date Omnisecu dot com is, but you could try Hub4Tech dot com slash ccna-tutorial too.
At least now I know a resource or two.
I think Hub4Tech is decent, and since it trains a lot of the tech support guys in India who you end up talking to on the phone, it cannot be bad.
