The Cisco CCNA Exploration curriculum provides a comprehensive overview of networking, from fundamentals to advanced applications and services. This course emphasizes theoretical concepts and practical application, giving you hands-on skills for designing, installing, operating, and maintaining real-world networks.

The online curriculum for the CCNA certification is pretty comprehensive. Although one could in theory take this course (and read this book) before the course on LAN Switching and Wireless, in reality this course presumes some knowledge of VLAN operation. These materials are very thorough and are not as out of date as those for the LAN Switching and Wireless course- there have been major advances in WiFi technology while Frame Relay and PPP remain the same. The coverage of IPv6 is decent but could be enhanced. Over all, a worthy capstone text for those following the Cisco Exploration curriculum.
