*** Part of the Full Course:Cisco CCNA to CCNP Transition ***
Whenever I taughtCCNP in theclass-room, I foundthat Students wereconfusedabout some topics or commands that they have studied in the CCNA course(with someone else!), and I had toclarify or re-explainthese topics or commands to them. This is because these topics orcommands are confusing by their nature, or because the way that they are typically explained to the students. Therefore, the idea of this course came in my mind, which intend toclarify those confusing topics or commands.
In this course you will learn about the following topics:
How to understand thenetworkcommand: How is it related to subnet ID and mask configured on the interface? Do we have to configure this command with that parameters, or we can use other ones?
The OSPF process ID is locally significant: What does that mean? Has the process ID to be the same on routers to form adjacency? Can we configure different process IDs on the same router and why?
Understanding the longest match rule: what is that rule? How is the best path selected and by what order? Are Administrative Distances and Metrics the only factors when selecting the best path?
Understanding the VTP Client Mode: What does propagation in that mode mean? Can a Client switch override the VLAN configuration of a Server Switch? Why have we to be careful when using VTP? and how to properly move a switch from branch to another?
Advanced Configuration of Static Routing: which explainsLoad Balancing using Static Routing,Floating Static Routes with IP SLA,Getting Help from HSRP and Verifying the Configuration,Static Routing using DHCP, andConfiguring Permanent Static Routes. This part is challenging and has a lot of information!.
You do not have to watch the videos in any particular order. You can godirectlyand watch the videos related totopics or commandsthat you feel that theyconfusing or not clear. At the end of the course, there will be apractice testthat you can use to find if these topics or commands are clear or still confuse you. You can attempt this practice test after watching the videos as afinal checkor even before todecide which topics or section you have to watch
As a bonus, I have added a lab that will help you to understand how to troubleshoot routing protocols, specifically OSPF and EIGRP.
I hope that that you will find this course useful, and that it will clarify confusing topics or commands for you, so that you canfully understand the CCNA curriculum, andbe ready for your CCNP studies!.
