Network+ Newbie

DSEDM

Good day,

I have just found your website and am very impressed. I can see a lot of work and effort has gone into these pages .... good job to all involved.

I seem to be struggling with this Network+, the A+ seemed fairly easy for me, but the terminology involved with the Network+ is throwing me off big time. I can't seem to remember what does what in each of the OSI layers for example.

Which study guides are you recommending for the Network+ ?

Thanks for the help.

I would recommend Mike Myers AIO 3rd edition which is updated for the new objectives. Also, the technotes from this side are useful.

Technotes here are superb, also I found using a CBT helped me a lot with Net +, I just watched it over and over until things started making sense. I used the sybex book (old objectives) as well, that was pretty good but a little unclear in places.

Is the book up to date with the N10-003 objectives?

I have seen a lot of Network+ on Amazon.com that hasn't updated yet -- reflecting the N10-002 objectives.

Thanks for the feedback.

I agree the Tech Notes on this site are very good as well as the practice exams.

The whole site is very well put together and a first rate prep tool.

This image should help. It has a bit more than you need to know for Net+, but it's still a good reference.

I used the technote from this site to may me familiar with the material and also to review before the exam and Exam Cram 2. Remember to make sure you obtain the book for the currents objectives.

DSEDM

Thanks for the graphic ... much appreciated.

Thats is what I will need to do is memorize that list... it is the only way that I will remember.

The sad part is I know those 7 layers must mean much more than just memorizing ... it just does not want to sink in to this old noggin of mine.

I will keep at it ... and thanks a lot for all the help.

You don't need to memorize the OSI in exacting detail for Net+. Just know the 7 layers, and how they relate to the TCP/IP stack, and what devices are at which layer. The OSI is just a model used to compare other stacks.

DSEDM

Ahhh ... that is better.

Like which layer is IP on ... and which layer IPX is on ... that is what you hafta remember ?

Many thanks.
