8 practice network hardware questions for CCST exam
Prepare for the CCST Networking exam with this network hardware quiz from Chapter 10 of 'Cisco Certified Support Technician CCST Networking 100-150 Official Cert Guide.'
Even as networks grow into wildly complex systems, the building blocks remain the same. It's imperative that network professionals have a solid foundation of networking fundamentals before they progress in their careers. While some test takers might jump straight into more advanced certifications, novice learners can pursue the entry-level Cisco Certified Support Technician exam.
The CCST certification has two tracks: CCST Cybersecurity and CCST Networking. The exams for both certifications test individuals on their understanding of introductory IT topics, and the credentials serve as a path to the more intermediate Cisco Certified CyberOps Associate and Cisco Certified Network Associate levels.
The CCST Networking exam tests individuals on the following topics:
- Networking standards and concepts.
- IP address and subnet formats.
- Endpoint concepts.
- Network infrastructure.
- Network diagnosis.
"[The CCST] is good for any network engineer who feels like they missed the basics or don't have a complete view," said Russ White, author of Cisco Certified Support Technician CCST Networking 100-150 Official Cert Guide. White's book provides a comprehensive, yet introductory overview of networking -- from basic foundations to network security and management best practices -- in various chapters and sections throughout his book.
