Welcome to WiseGuru's community-driven site of CCNA Definitions! The goal of this is a living document is to provide you with concise, relevant definitions for any topic you might encounter on the CCNA. This is not a replacement for an instructor-led course or the Cisco OCG, but should help reinforce what you've learned.
This is (and always will be) a work in progress, and as such, it will have incomplete or incorrect information. I started this database of definitions in 2023 part-way through my own CCNA studies, and so some entries were never updated beyond creation or were never created at all.
If you're not sure where to start, I'm trying to get everything sorted by their CCNA Objectives and Exam Topics. I'm going through every page to connect all the exam topics, but let me know if I've missed one (and please include its topic!)
Add these notes directly to your Obsidian Vault
If you would like a copy of these notes directly in your Obsidian.md vault, now you can! Just go to this GitHub repository, click on the "Code" dropdown menu, and download it as a zip file. Extract the folders and copy/paste them into your vault, and you should be good to go!
If you have any problems, let me know either through this Google Forms Survey, or by submitting an issue on GitHub.
You can also fork this repository and use GitHub Desktop to synchronize changes. I hope to be posting instructions soon on how to do this.
Help me make this better
You can help! If you find any information that is incorrect or incomplete (within the scope of the CCNA), PLEASE submit a ticket on GitHub with a correction and source. I will update the page and add a link to your profile (either GitHub or another service you specify) on the page as a contributor.
Problematic pages has an ongoing list of pages that need review; if you have any suggestions on making them better, let me know!
There are two ways you can submit information; either through this Google Forms Survey, or by submitting an issue on GitHub.
- Please note that any information submitted via the Google Form is anonymous, ONE-WAY communication; I will not be able to follow up with you to answer questions, seek clarification, or update you on the status of the request.
When submitting new information, I would appreciate it if followed this Style Guide/Template, but it's not necessary. Thank you!
Project Goals
If you're familiar with GitHub and Obsidian markdown editor, I am trying to streamline a process for other students to access these definitions within their own vault. If you have ideas on how this might be accomplished, please reach out to me!
Unoriginal Content
During my studies, I used Jeremy's IT Lab Free CCNA Complete Course 2023 and Neil Anderson's Complete CCNA Udemy Course as my primary sources, and used Boson ExSim to practice for the exam. While I have gone through and tried to remove any duplicated information from their courses, I am sure I have missed some. Please report any unoriginal information to me, and I will replace it with original content.
