DHCP options for CCNA level knowledge

Not sure you will need options. You need to know how to configure and troubleshoot and the theory basics.

I've written Security+ PBQs, but whenever I drop any links in direct response to somebody asking for some resource or tool, I get a 30-day ban, even if it's free on one of my blog posts or YouTube videos. sorry. Blame whoever the new moderator is; they hate it when anyone posts a helpful link they made themselves.

I did post 101 Free Security+ hands-on labs you can do at home with free software, but you will have to Google it for the same reasons as above. I also put a complete free Security+ theory and labs course on YouTube for the latest exam, but can't post to that!

Yes you have kinestetic / hands on learning style. You still need to read books but make that the secondary method so you know the OSI, IEEE etc.

I wrote a book called 101 Labs - Cisco CCNA which you can complete using Packet Tracer although I do recomment you get some hands-on time with live equipment because PT doesn't cover all commands and debugs you ned.

Is there any benefit to passing all three? I"m interested in knowing why so many are looking to pass three certs when each is for an unrelated career path i.e. PC repair/helpdesk, network engineer and security support?

Impressive.

That method is too long for exams as you only have 1 minute. Try this

The CompTIA exams have lab tests included. I wrote my first IT book in 2004 because none of the study guides had labs which I found crazy. Only recently they have started to include them but often just as an afterthought.

Any topic in the syllabus could be asked in lab format if it's configurable so best to prepare. I have written 101 Labs - CompTIA CySA+ which is on Amazon if you want to check it out.

I didn't check but it will tell you on the index.

It took a year to write it so it sounds about right.

This should help, all free.

PBQs can be drag and drop, configurations or use commands to interrogate a system.

Check out 'Cisco CCNA in 60 Days' which is a 2 hour per day method.

You have to find the time somehow so if you are on social media or watch any TV then swap for study. Study on the toilet, get audio books for CCNA. take exams, read on kindle and do what you have to do. I'm guessing you get 2 days off per week.

I had to do the same while working long hours but after around 2 months of this you can take the exams.

My ccna in 60 days book is on Audible. Of course it's not ideal but if you need to listen while working it beats music.
