CCNA Study Guides
CCNA (Cisco certified network associate) study guides are designed for candidates who are preparing for the CCNA certification exam. A number of study guides are available in the market ranging from fifty to two hundred dollars. Candidates who do not have requisite funds can download free study guides available on the Internet. These guides are designed by experts who have in-depth knowledge about CCNA topics and the type of questions commonly asked in the certification exam.
The guides contain different training tools and resources that are designed specifically for the end user. Users are also entitled to receive monthly updates containing new topics or questions, which may be asked in the real certification exam. Candidates can check their current preparation levels based on mock test papers provided with the study guide.
Users are required to take a preliminary test before starting a new topic to check their current understanding of the topic. If the score is satisfactory, they can skip the study material and directly take the final test related to that topic. If the score is below standards, they are required to study the topic before taking the final test. After scoring requisite marks in individual tests, they can take final preparatory tests that contain questions from all topics included in the study guide.
The guides cover varied topics such as TCP/IP model, IP address and & advanced TCP/IP, Static configuration & concepts, RIP & IGRP Configuration & Concepts, OSPF Configuration & Concepts, and EIGRP Configuration & Concepts. Other topics include development of open systems interconnect (OSI) model, connection-oriented and connectionless communications, encapsulation and de-encapsulation, ethernet operation, store and forward bridging, point-to-point and point-to-multipoint connections, layers of the TCP/IP model, and different classes of IPs.
