Hello everyone, my name is Richard Pateau and I am currently studying for the Cisco CCNA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I started learning about networking earlier this year while preparing for the Network+ certification. After having taken the certification and passed, I realized that I genuinely enjoy networking, not just passing the certification but actually understanding how a network actually works. This realization has encouraged me to go after the CCNA, and I am already learning so much more! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is slightly overwhelming when you look at Jeremy’s IT lab playlist and realize that there’s over 120 videos on his CCNA playlist, but I am taking my time to really absorb the content and actually grow in my knowledge of what’s actually going on under the hood not just memorizing facts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I created this blog to document a lot of what I am currently learning while I am on this journey of studying for my CCNA. Some posts will be short explanations of a single topic. Others may include diagrams, notes, or reflections on things I found confusing at first. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This blog is primarily for learning, but I hope it may also help others who are studying networking fundamentals and are either pursuing the Network+ or CCNA. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
