Activities/Case Study

AI-Assisted Network Operations; evaluate an AI-generated recommendation against available network evidence before implementation

1

Participants take on the role of a Network Engineer responding to a live outage across a multi-site enterprise network spanning wired and wireless clients, VLANs and trunks, OSPF routing, and NAT, ACL and Layer 2 security controls. Working from show-command and log output, they isolate the fault, correct the configuration, and verify the fix.

2

The simulation pulls interface diagnosis, switching and routing verification, and service and security configuration into one live topology, closing with a short root-cause summary presented to a mock operations lead.

1

Learners get hands-on time in a simulated IOS environment, practising Ansible command execution, SNMP and syslog interpretation, and evaluating an AI-generated operations recommendation against the actual device evidence, with no risk to a live network.

2

The sandbox mirrors real device output closely enough for the practice to transfer directly to the job, so learners leave able to tell a correct automated recommendation from one that needs a second look.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Beginners can study for CCNA, although the learning curve can be significant because it covers addressing, subnetting, Cisco IOS configuration, switching, routing, and troubleshooting. A structured course with progressive hands-on labs can make the transition considerably easier. Cisco's published v2.0 exam topics do not specify a formal prerequisite.

Yes. Many CCNA candidates study alongside full-time employment. A structured study schedule can range from roughly an hour per day to several hours, depending on individual availability. Consistency, hands-on lab practice, and regular review are more important than matching someone else's study hours.

It is strongly recommended. Networking becomes much easier to understand when learners actually configure and troubleshoot networks rather than only watch videos or read notes. This training therefore reinforces configuration, verification, and troubleshooting practice rather than relying on recall alone.

The CCNA v2.0 curriculum covers five major areas:

Network Infrastructure and Connectivity
Switching and Network Access
IP Routing
Network Services and Security
AI, Network Operations and Management

CCNA can strengthen a candidate's profile, but a certification alone does not guarantee employment. Employers may also consider practical skills, projects, communication ability, and previous IT experience. Pairing CCNA preparation with hands-on labs and demonstrable networking experience can help candidates build a stronger practical profile.

This curriculum is aligned with the Cisco 200-301 CCNA v2.0 examination topics and provides 40 hours of training. Cisco has announced that the refreshed CCNA v2.0 exam will become available on February 3, 2027.

Participants develop practical skills in areas including:

IPv4 and IPv6, subnetting
Wired and Wireless connectivity
Switching, VLANs, routing
OSPF, network services, security
Troubleshooting and network operations

Within the CCNA v2.0 scope, agentic AI refers to AI capabilities that can support network operations and related tasks. The course focuses on evaluating AI-supported recommendations in networking contexts rather than teaching learners to build AI models.

It is not necessary. Cisco currently advises learners already preparing for CCNA v1.1 to continue their preparation rather than wait solely for v2.0, because the existing exam remains available through February 2, 2027, and much of the underlying networking knowledge carries forward. For this specific training page, however, the curriculum itself is designed around the v2.0 examination topics.

Learners Point delivers a 40-hour CCNA Certification Training program aligned with the Cisco 200-301 CCNA v2.0 curriculum, combining structured exam preparation with practical networking experience. The course includes hands-on configuration and troubleshooting, including:

An Enterprise Network Operations Simulation
A Network Automation & Monitoring Sandbox
Domain-wise Mock Assessments
Full CCNA Simulation

Learners also gain exposure to Ansible, SNMP, syslog, and AI-assisted network operations, helping them prepare for both the certification exam and practical networking responsibilities.
