Cisco Certified Support Technician (CCST) – Networking

Video training course to prepare you for the CCST Networking Certification exam. Achieving Cisco Certified Networking Technician involves passing one exam. It proves you have met the level required by Cisco to support small networks and have an understanding of TCP/IP basics.

The Cisco Certified Support Technician (CCST) Networking certification demonstrates your comprehension and abilities for entry-level networking roles. It is the ideal precursor to more advanced Cisco certifications, such as the CCNA CyberOps and DevNet Associate. The accreditation demonstrates a fundamental grasp of concepts and skills needed to configure and support small networks, including the devices, media, and protocols that enable security and communications.

The Cisco Certified Support Technician (CCST) Networking certification is also a first step toward CCNA certification.

Typical CCST Networking roles include:

• Network support
• Security helpdesk
• CyberOps support
• Junior cloud network support
• Network design engineer
• Wireless engineer
• Junior Cisco support technician

The certification requires one exam that tests your knowledge of networking principles and design, including:

• Understanding cables and interfaces
• Cisco platforms and development
• Application development and security
• Infrastructure IP addressing for IPv4 and IPv6

During the exam, you will be expected to answer questions from topics listed in the CCST Networking exam syllabus as well as configure routing protocols, wireless security, and troubleshoot networks using Cisco command and Wireshark packet capture software.

Network configuration settings for Windows, Linux, Mac OS, Android, and Apple iOS are all listed as exam topics for both theory and practical exercises. Also, a thorough understanding of common TCP services and protocols is expected, so you must prepare thoroughly. This course includes theory and follow-along labs to ensure maximum chances of exam success.

Each module ends with a 50-question practice exam, and then the course ends with two exam-style quizzes to prepare you for the real thing.
