CCENT Syllabus
Here is a clickable list of how our content maps to the latest CCENT syllabus.
Cisco are very vague in some areas so it is very difficult to give you a
definitive list. We have left some boxes blank because they are covered in other areas such as
troubleshooting which is usually covered when we show you how to configure
various parameters. Other area we are in the process of adding labs or videos
for.
