Apple Networking on Network+

New guy here, just about ready to take my cert and had a quick question.

The N10-005 objectives doesn't seem to list anything related to Apple and my course material (which I'm not crazy about, caveat emptor) only gives it a very brief overview. Am I safe in assuming its no longer a part of the test like previous versions or do I need some supplemental training?

Thanks!

CompTIA builds vendor-neutral certifications.
I can't remember answering anything related to Apple, but when there was examples it was mostly Microsoft and some Linux.
For example "ipconfig" and "tracert" for Windows and "ifconfig" and "traceroute" for Linux.

But it doesn't hurt to check out the AppleTalk protocols.

Welcome to the forums. Yes, as Trashman mentioned, don't expect to see anything related to Apple on the Network+ exam.

In contrast, the A+ 220-802 exam includes a domain titled Mobile Devices and does expect you to know about some specifics related to both Apple devices and Android-based devices.

Thanks.

After taking some practice tests, I've found my training book only touched briefly on a few subjects that should have been more detailed. Been making me a little paranoid on what else it may have skimmed over. Appreciate it!

The "mac" items on the test are more Unix/Bash than anything else.

Ifconfig, dhclient and a few GNU ping options.
