Cisco Certified Support Technician (CCST) Networking (100-150)

The 100-150 CCST Networking exam checks whether you understand how networks work and how to support them. It covers a wide range of entry-level topics, from protocols and IP addresses to cables, wireless, troubleshooting, and security. The Cisco Certified Support Technician (CCST) Networking (100-150) course combines clear explanations with hands-on exercises, so you are ready for both the exam and real support work.

In the networking concepts section, you will learn about network types, the internet and cloud services, performance measures such as bandwidth, throughput and latency, and the protocols that make communication possible, including TCP, UDP, DHCP, DNS and HTTP. Each concept is linked to practical examples that technicians meet every day.

In the addressing, media and infrastructure sections, you will identify IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, work through basic subnetting exercises, compare copper, fiber and wireless media, and configure end devices. You will learn how switches, routers, access points, and firewalls work, read device status lights and ports, and connect to equipment through the console and SSH.

In the troubleshooting and security sections, you will practice a structured diagnostic process using ping, traceroute, ipconfig, nslookup and basic device commands, and you will learn how to secure wireless networks and end devices. This approach to CCST Networking exam preparation builds genuine understanding, giving you a strong foundation for the exam and for future CCNA studies.
