🎉 Proud to share that I’ve completed the CCNAv7: Introduction to Networks course from Cisco Networking Academy! This course helped me understand: - Networking basics - How to set up and manage networks - Fundamental networking protocols and services Thanks to IFET College of Engineering for the support. Excited to apply these skills! #Networking #Certification #Cisco #Learning

🌟 Excited to share my progress from Days 10 to 12 of my 50-day CCNA learning journey with Jeremy's IT Lab! 🚀 🔹 **IPv4 Header Exploration**: Delved into the intricate details of the IPv4 Header, covering fields like Version, IHL, DSCP, ECN, Total Length, Identification, Flags, Fragment Offset, Time To Live, Protocol, Header Checksum, and Source/Destination IP Address fields. Understanding these is crucial for network packet handling and routing decisions. 🔹 **Wireshark Packet Capture**: Got hands-on experience with Wireshark, learning how to capture and analyze network packets. This tool is indispensable for troubleshooting and understanding network traffic. 🔹 **Routing Fundamentals**: Explored the essence of routing—how routers direct data packets between networks based on IP addresses. This includes setting up R1 with initial IP configurations and understanding the basics of routing tables (`show ip route`), connected/local routes, route selection criteria, and practice scenarios. 🔹 **Static Routes**: Dived into planning and configuring static routes, including setting up a default gateway and configuring routes to enable PC1 to PC4 communication. Explored static route configuration using exit interfaces and the importance of default routes in network connectivity. These days have been packed with learning foundational concepts essential for a career in networking. Can't wait to apply this knowledge practically! #CCNA #Networking #CiscoCertification #LearningJourney #ITCareer #NetworkEngineer #IPv4 #Routing #Wireshark Let's keep learning and growing together! 📚💡
