Networking is one of my favorite parts about a computer system. It is incredibly fascinating how we can connect computers together across the globe. I studied quite hard for the Security+ (which had a lot of networking in it), Network+, and the CCNA. The Security+ and CCNA were part of our final grade for my classes in college. Mostly everyone (including me) passed the Security+. When it comes to the CCNA, I was the only one in class to pass it. I also passed it with a 934/1000, while a few people just barely failed.

When I first started the networking class in high school, I only just barely knew what an IP address was. Now, I know subnetting (my home network uses a non-standard private IP address subnet), various cable types (including fiber, which I am becoming slightly familiar with thanks to my home internet provider), VLANS, QoS, Cisco IOS, Unifi, and other technologies.
