Subnetting before starting CCENT

in CCNA & CCENT
Next week I start studying for my CCENT. Is it assumed that you already have subnetting down pat before starting to study for CCENT? Or do you pick that up during the process of learning CCENT? I bought the Chris Braynt CCNA video set as well as his corresponding ebooks. In addition to that I got his Mastering Binary Math and Subnetting ebook. Is it best to go through the subnettng book first?

    I suggest following along during your studies. Learn of basics/fundamentals first, then when you hit the chapter regarding subnetting, read it and take notes and practice, practice, practice.

    subnetting is something you learn while studying for the icnd1. Should be a chapter on it if your reading a book for the test.

    Thanks, I will checkout that link. In his ICND1 book, he has subnetting as the very last chapter.

    It is explained through your CCENT studies. The link given above is a great resource. In addition I have found Jeremy from CBTNuggets way of describing and explaining subnetting to be useful.
