Every hands-on CCNA 200-301 topic, in one path — 17 bundles of auto-graded Cisco Modeling Labs, sequenced from IP addressing through switching, routing, IP services, and security. Build each on real Cisco IOS and grade your own config. One purchase, owned forever.
Work the milestones in order — each builds on the last: foundations (addressing) → switching (VLANs, trunking, inter-VLAN, STP, EtherChannel) → routing (static, OSPF, first-hop redundancy) → IP services (DHCP, NAT, NTP, discovery & monitoring) → security (ACLs, port security, layer-2 hardening, device hardening). Build every lab on real Cisco IOS in CML and grade your config against the answer key before advancing.
Configure and troubleshoot every CLI-based CCNA 200-301 topic on real Cisco IOS. (Wireless and automation/programmability are exam domains best covered by supplementary study — the labs focus on the hands-on configuration the exam and the job demand.)
Each milestone is a full graded bundle. Work them top to bottom — every stage builds on the last.
Ten hands-on addressing labs — IPv4 subnetting and VLSM, IPv6 addressing (SLAAC/EUI-64), and connectivity verification — on CML free-tier (5 nodes or fewer).
Ten hands-on labs building VLAN segmentation from the ground up — access ports, VLAN databases, voice/data separation, and verification — all on CML free-tier (5 nodes or fewer).
17 hands-on lab bundles — 175 auto-graded CCNA labs in all — sequenced into one progression from fundamentals through to exam-ready troubleshooting. Each lab is a real Cisco Modeling Labs scenario you build on Cisco IOS, then grade your own config against the answer key.
A one-time purchase — $299.99. You own every bundle and lab in the path permanently; there's nothing recurring. (The daily-lab subscription is separate — it's for fresh labs every day rather than owning this fixed set.)
Yes — each lab is a Cisco Modeling Labs (CML) topology you import and build on real Cisco IOS, and the CML free tier (5 nodes) is enough. You download the topology and lab guide, then build it yourself.
Every lab ships as a problem to solve, not a walkthrough to copy. You build it in CML, submit your config, and get pass/fail on each objective against the answer key — so you know exactly what's right and what to fix instead of guessing.
It covers every hands-on, CLI-configurable CCNA topic — the routing, switching, IP-services, and security configuration the exam and the job actually test on real gear. The wireless and automation/programmability domains are best studied through reading rather than CLI labs, so pair the path with those for full exam coverage.
175 graded labs across 17 bundles — one purchase, yours forever. Or subscribe for a fresh graded lab every day.
Ten hands-on 802.1Q trunking labs — trunk configuration, allowed/native VLANs, DTP behavior, and trunk troubleshooting — on CML free-tier (5 nodes or fewer).
Ten hands-on labs routing between VLANs — router-on-a-stick, subinterfaces, SVIs on a layer-3 switch, and gateway verification — on CML free-tier (5 nodes or fewer).
Ten progressive spanning-tree labs — root election, port roles/costs, PortFast/BPDU Guard, Rapid-PVST, and loop troubleshooting — on CML free-tier (5 nodes or fewer).
Ten hands-on EtherChannel labs — LACP/PAgP/static bundles, layer-2 and layer-3 port-channels, load balancing, and bundle troubleshooting — on CML free-tier (5 nodes or fewer).
Ten hands-on static-routing labs — directly-connected/recursive next-hops, default and floating static routes, IPv6 statics, and path verification — on CML free-tier (5 nodes or fewer).
Progressive hands-on OSPFv2 labs — from a first single-area adjacency through DR/BDR election, multi-area design, route summarization, stub areas, authentication, and a troubleshooting capstone. Every lab runs on CML free-tier (5 nodes or fewer).
Thirteen hands-on first-hop redundancy labs — HSRP virtual gateways, priority/preempt, interface tracking, MD5 authentication, timers, HSRPv2, multi-group load-sharing, and VRRP — on CML free-tier (5 nodes or fewer).
Ten hands-on DHCP labs — server pools, exclusions, reservations, relay (ip helper-address), and lease troubleshooting — on CML free-tier (5 nodes or fewer).
Ten hands-on NAT labs — static NAT, dynamic pools, PAT/overload, port forwarding, and translation troubleshooting — on CML free-tier (5 nodes or fewer).
Ten hands-on NTP labs — master/client/peer, authentication, stratum behavior, and time-sync verification — on CML free-tier (5 nodes or fewer).
Ten hands-on labs — CDP and LLDP discovery, Syslog, SNMPv2c/v3 monitoring and traps, and DNS on Cisco IOS — the network-assurance toolkit, on CML free-tier (5 nodes or fewer).
Progressive ACL labs — standard/extended numbered and named ACLs, placement, logging, and filtering troubleshooting — on CML free-tier (5 nodes or fewer).
Ten hands-on switchport-security labs — static/sticky MAC, violation modes, err-disable recovery, and access-port hardening — on CML free-tier (5 nodes or fewer).
Ten hands-on labs — DHCP snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection, storm control, protected ports, and errdisable recovery — defending the switch access edge, on CML free-tier (5 nodes or fewer).
Ten hands-on device-security labs — SSH, local/AAA authentication, privilege levels, login hardening, and secure management — on CML free-tier (5 nodes or fewer).
