Welcome to the TestOut Routing and Switching Pro course. In this course, we're going to cover all the information you need to use Cisco
networking devices and prepare for the TestOut Routing and Switching Pro exam and the CCNA exam.
This course is designed for anyone interested in managing and deploying Cisco products in their business environments. There are no formal
prerequisites for CCNA certification, but CCNA candidates often have at least a year of experience implementing and administering Cisco
solutions and a basic understanding of IP addressing and network fundamentals.
The purpose of this course is to prepare you for an associate-level job role in the IT industry.
This course covers the knowledge and skills related to network fundamentals, network access, IP connectivity, IP services, security
fundamentals, and the automation and programmability of Cisco devices.
LabSim provides several features designed to help you learn and retain routing and switching skills. Each section provides you with videos
and demonstrations that teach you how to perform necessary tasks. Text lessons help reinforce the concepts taught in the videos, and
interactive hands-on labs let you practice the skills you've learned. Within each section, you'll find practice questions to test your knowledge.
At the end of the course, you'll find both the TestOut Routing and Switching Pro certification practice exam and the CCNA practice exam.
These tests help you prepare for certification. Consider using the exams as a pre-test at the beginning of the course to determine how much
you already know. Then, as a post-test, retake the exams at the end of the course to see how much you've learned. You can also test your
knowledge by taking the domain exams. The domain exams divide test questions according to the domain objectives in the certification
exams. It's another way to practice and reinforce the course concepts.
Certifications 1:50-2:25
Now, let's talk about your certification, because that's really the goal of this course: to provide you with the information you need to become
proficient using Cisco devices.
This course meets the specifications for two different industry certification programs, the TestOut Routing and Switching Pro certification
and the CCNA 200-301 exam.
There are two reasons certification is important if you plan to have a career in the IT industry. First, it gives employers the critical
information they need to make hiring decisions. Second, it gives you an edge in the job application process because employers look for
certifications.
The TestOut Routing and Switching Pro certification exam measures your ability to perform real-world tasks using the command line
interface on Cisco routing and switching devices.
The tasks assessed in this exam are often performed by IT professionals in a variety of job roles, including computer security specialists,
systems engineers, and network systems administrators.
These tasks include switch setup and configuration, switch interface configuration, VLAN configuration, TCP/IP configuration, spanning
tree configuration, interVLAN routing, EtherChannel configuration, IP routing implementation with OSPF and EIGRP routing configuration,
access control lists, DHCP, DNS, NAT, security and malware fundamentals, and automation and programmability.

The Cisco Certified Network Associate exam, or the CCNA 200-301 exam, tests your knowledge and skills related to network fundamentals
and access, IP connectivity and services, security fundamentals, and automation and programmability.
Summary 3:29-3:47
So, as you can see, the CCNA exam works hand-in-hand with the TestOut Routing and Switching Pro certification. The CCNA exam uses a
variety of multiple-choice and simulation questions to assess knowledge, and TestOut Routing and Switching Pro uses simulations to test
what you can do.
With this introduction in mind, it's time to start learning about Cisco devices.
