This CCNA Tutorial is well-suited for the beginner as well as

professionals, and It will cover all the basic to advanced concepts

of CCNA like Components of Computer Networking, Transport
Layer, Network Layer, CCNA training, Cisco Networking, Network
Design, Routing and Switching, etc. which are required to
prepare for the certification. So let's go through the tutorial to
learn all these important topics.
What is CCNA?
CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) is a popular
certification course for networking by Cisco Systems. The CCNA
certification is designed to test the candidate's knowledge and
skills required to install, configure, operate, and troubleshoot
medium-size enterprise branch networks. CCNA certification
course includes various domains such as the basics of
networking, network security, network infrastructure, and
network automation.
 Cisco certificate validates the ability to configure,
understand, operate, and troubleshoot the switched and
routed networks.
 It guides the users to create a point-point connection.
 CCNA guides and illustrates how to build a network
address.
 You will get a highly-paid job if you learn from CCNA.
