How to Finish Cisco
(CCNA 1,2,3,4) Cisco is an advanced networking class. It is very difficult but with a few tips you should be able to do relatively well.
[edit] Steps
- Enroll in the class.
- Carefully read each chapter and make sure to take notes.
- Be sure to make charts of important characteristics.
- Make sure you have access to the required equipment, like routers, PC's and cabling.
- The Module Quizzes do very little in helping with the test, take them but don't dwell on your Quiz score.
- If you do poorly after taking a test, look at the course feed back so you know what you need to study.
- Ask you instructor to enable you to see your answers so that you know what you did wrong. While it is easy to just memorize the answers, it is better in the long run to understand the concepts.
- When you finish the modules you will have to take the Practice Final, this is a very good indication of what you will get on the Final.
- Repeat this process for all four Cisco's.
[edit] Tips
- Put the sub-netting chart to memory along with the OSI model.
- Buy a quick reference commands book so that it will be easier to configure routers.
[edit] Warnings
- This class is not a basic computer course, if you don't know much about computers you may want to start with a more basic computer class.
