Cisco CCENT Study Guide Introduction
Introducing the free study guide for Cisco’s CCENT certification. Here you will find plenty of exam oriented study material for an objectives based learning experience. These objectives are copied directly from Cisco’s website and can be viewed in greater detail here. I will try my best to break down every single objective but you will still need additional training.
The best resources for the CCENT/CCNA are Todd Lammle’s CCNA study guide sixth edition, CCNA Exam Cram, CCENT ExamCram. The CBT Nuggets video series is also recommended, and once you are familiar with networking you should go to Ebay or Ciscoland.net and purchase REAL equipment.
