Deep Dive tips and tricks to get certified: Step-by-step tutorials, videos, practice exams.

Overview

NOTE: Content here are my personal opinions, and not intended to represent any employer (past or present). “PROTIP:” here highlight information I haven’t seen elsewhere on the internet because it is hard-won, little-know but significant facts based on my personal research and experience.

This article was hand-crafted to combine insights from the documents, tutorials, and videos listed below. The objective here is to combine all the wisdom into deep knowledge logically sequenced.

Cisco’s CCNA 200-301 exams have stood the test of time. VIDEO: The transition from v1.1 to v2.0 announced May, 2026 for Feb 3, 2027 release.

COMPtia Network+ does not have the proprietary information in the Cisco CCNA & CCNP exams. But knowing Cisco (all product model numbers) can opens doors for you to work in enterprises, which pays better than mom and pop employers.

The Tutorials jungle

There are many tutorials available from entrepreneurs. Most of them just copy from each other.

PROTIP: Certifications is basically a memorization game, so focus on quick and comprehensive recall of terms, in your set of Anki files on your mobile phone. Make a habit of using time instead of wasting it on TV and doomscrolling.

CAUTION: Avoid “multi-tasking” like watching a movie while studying. Study after study have concluded that people don’t remember ideas while multi-tasking.

Cisco Modeling Labs

@DavidBombal - Use AI to study CCNA with Kareem Iskander of Cisco Apr 2026 talking about CML (Cisco Modeling Labs) Cisco’s official network emulation platform (created by Joe) where you build live topologies with real Cisco images via a web UI. https://blogs.cisco.com/learning/the-peloton-approach-to-ccna-exam-success

I am a CCNA exam candidate, and I am bulding a hands-on discovery lab to practice for the exam using the CCNA blueprint. Here are the steps I want to take:

Create a hands-on lab task based on the CCNA blueprint here: https://learningcontent.cisco.com/documents/marketing/exam-topics/200-301-CCNA-v1.1.pdf
Only have at most One related Task, provide enough infromation to complete the task without giving away the answers
Create a new CML lab for this lab and provide the instructions for what i need to perform as lab notes. Note: lab notes can make use of markdown for richer text.
Create the lab topology in CML using CML Free version. Only Use IOL, IOL-L2, ASAv Desktop, Server, unmanaged switches, and external connectors. Do NOT use IOSv or IOSv-L2. Note: unmanaged switches and external connectors do not count as nodes when considering the maximum of five. Do not create the full topology right away.
First, create an empty lab with the notes, then add the nodes, and then connect them.
Be sure to update the lab notes with the new, correct interface names.
Once the nodes are connected, configure the nodes with any base configuration required to do the lab tatsks using correct interfaces.
Upon completion make sure you start the lab.
- Start with Step 1 to Step 4 then wait for my instructions to proceed
- Next do Step 5 to Step 8

The response is:

   I'll help you create a CCNA discovery lab! Let me start by fetching the CCNA blueprint to identify an appropriate topic.

Firewall

ASAv (ASA Virtual) firewall image for security/FTD lab testing.

BLOG: To block malware from sending data home.

Firewalls built-in to macOS are turned OFF by default. Turning the application-level firewall at Settings > Network > Firewall only blocks incoming (not outgoing) traffic and only “per installed app”.

Apple’s ScreenTime may stop you from using these because it needs access to the internet.

PROTIP: To automatically configure the firewall dynamically within a CLI script, use the native CLI command

pf packet filter is rule-based and usually blocks outbound by IP, port, or interface — not by app name. See https://www.wavether.com/2016/11/pf-firewall-macos-jetbrains
The native pfctl needs custom rules to block outbound traffic while leaving inbound untouched, but that requires careful rule writing.

Little Snitch GUI at obdev.at/products has a full $59 edition for a single machine and $115 for a family license. It comes with community-maintained blocklists and provides graphic insight into network traffic. The free edition (Little Snitch Mini) does not provide alerts / blocking of new outgoing network requests. NOTE: This is not the same as github.com/karol-broda/snitch “friendlier ss / netstat”.
