1

A network administrator is reviewing a host's IP configuration and sees the address 192.168.10.45 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.224. Which of the following is the network address for this host's subnet?

AA) 192.168.10.32
BB) 192.168.10.0
CC) 192.168.10.40
DD) 192.168.10.64
2

Two access switches connect through a trunk link. PCs in VLAN 20 on Switch A cannot reach PCs in VLAN 20 on Switch B, although VLAN 10 traffic flows fine. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause?

AA) Spanning Tree Protocol has placed both ports into a blocking state.
BB) The native VLAN is mismatched on the trunk.
CC) VLAN 20 is not allowed on the trunk link.
DD) The switches are running different versions of IOS.
3

Which OSPF router state indicates that two neighbors have completed the exchange of LSAs and their link-state databases are fully synchronized?

AA) Init
BB) Exchange
CC) Two-Way
DD) Full
4

A small office uses a single public IP address provided by their ISP, and dozens of internal hosts need simultaneous Internet access. Which NAT variation should be configured on the edge router?

AA) Static NAT
BB) Dynamic NAT without overload
CC) Port Address Translation (NAT overload)
DD) NAT64
5

Which of the following BEST describes the purpose of 802.1X in an enterprise wired or wireless network?

AA) It encrypts all data frames between switches using MACsec by default.
BB) It provides port-based network access control by authenticating devices before granting LAN access.
CC) It compresses VLAN tags to reduce the size of trunk frames.
DD) It replaces Spanning Tree Protocol on access ports to prevent loops.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the CCNA 200-301 exam?

The CCNA 200-301 is Cisco's associate-level certification exam, and it validates the foundational networking skills you need for entry-level network roles. It covers six domains: Network Fundamentals, Network Access, IP Connectivity, IP Services, Security Fundamentals, and Automation and Programmability. Cisco consolidated several older CCNA tracks (Routing & Switching, Wireless, Security) into this single exam back in 2020, and it remains the standard associate networking credential in 2026.

Are there any prerequisites for taking the CCNA?

No formal prerequisites. Anyone can register for and sit the 200-301 exam. That said, Cisco recommends one or more years of hands-on experience implementing and administering Cisco solutions, plus a solid grasp of IP addressing and basic network fundamentals. Most candidates who pass on the first attempt have either real-world networking experience or have completed structured training like the Cisco CCNA course or a comparable bootcamp.

What score do I need to pass the CCNA?

Cisco doesn't publish an official passing score, but the widely accepted threshold is 825 out of 1000, which works out to roughly 82.5%. The actual cut score can vary slightly because Cisco uses statistical scaling. Some sections (like simulations and drag-and-drops) carry more weight per question than standard multiple choice items, so don't skip the lab-style questions during your prep.

How much does the CCNA exam cost?

The CCNA 200-301 currently costs $300 USD per attempt, plus any applicable taxes. Pearson VUE administers the exam at testing centers and through online proctoring. If you're a student or work at a Cisco partner organization, ask about discount vouchers -- they're more common than people realize and can knock the price down significantly.

How long is the CCNA certification valid?

Your CCNA stays active for three years from the date you pass. To recertify, you can either retake the 200-301, pass any higher-level Cisco exam (like a CCNP concentration), or earn enough Continuing Education credits through Cisco's CE program. Many working network engineers prefer the CE route because it lets them count training they're already doing for work.

What's the retake policy if I don't pass?

If you don't pass on your first attempt, Cisco requires you to wait at least 5 calendar days before scheduling a retake. There's no annual cap on retakes, but you'll pay the full $300 fee each time. Use that 5-day window wisely -- pull your score report, identify the weakest domains, and drill those topics in a lab environment rather than just rereading notes.

How long should I study for the CCNA?

For most candidates, plan on 2-4 months of focused study, averaging 8-12 hours per week. If you're already working in a network role, you might compress that to 6-8 weeks. Complete beginners often need 4-6 months. The biggest mistake people make? Watching video courses passively without ever logging into a lab. Reading about OSPF and configuring OSPF on three routers are entirely different experiences.

How important is hands-on lab practice for the CCNA?

It's critical. The 200-301 includes simulation and drag-and-drop items that require you to configure or troubleshoot a working topology, not just recognize a correct answer. Build a lab using Cisco Packet Tracer (free with Cisco Networking Academy), GNS3, or EVE-NG. Practice configuring VLANs, trunks, OSPF, ACLs, NAT, and DHCP until the commands feel automatic. Candidates who skip labs tend to clear the multiple choice but stumble on the performance-based portions.

How are the exam topics weighted?

Cisco publishes the official blueprint, and the weighting breaks down roughly like this: Network Fundamentals 20%, Network Access 20%, IP Connectivity 25%, IP Services 10%, Security Fundamentals 15%, and Automation and Programmability 10%. IP Connectivity (which includes OSPF and routing) is the heaviest single domain, so don't shortchange it. Automation is the smallest slice, but it's newer territory for many candidates and worth dedicated review.
