Overview of this book

Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) Routing and Switching is one of the most important qualifications for keeping your networking skills up to date. CCNA Routing and Switching 200-125 Certification Guide covers topics included in the latest CCNA exam, along with review and practice questions. This guide introduces you to the structure of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and examines in detail the creation of IP networks and sub-networks and how to assign addresses in the network. You will then move on to understanding how to configure, verify, and troubleshoot layer 2 and layer 3 protocols. In addition to this, you will discover the functionality, configuration, and troubleshooting of DHCPv4. Combined with router and router simulation practice, this certification guide will help you cover everything you need to know in order to pass the CCNA Routing and Switching 200-125 exam. By the end of this book, you will explore security best practices, as well as get familiar with the protocols that a network administrator can use to monitor the network.

Summary

In this chapter, we learned about the importance of choosing not only the type of routing you want to do, but also which routing protocol would be a best fit for your network. We found out that it all depends on your hardware and the size of your network and its design. We also learned how to configure EIGRPv6 and OSPFv3, which really was not as difficult as we thought it would be. But, you must always verify everything you do before you move on, step by step, and have a well-thought-out plan before you start making changes.

One very important command that we learned that we must configure, if you are going to be working in IPv6, is ipv6 unicast-routing. If you do not turn this on, you will not be able to route in IPv6 at all.

Next, get ready to attack Layer 2 switching.
