I have been working on my CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) exam study. This has been very tough, getting the study time in and getting and keeping a study rhythm going. There are some topics that are tough for me to follow and I am having some trouble with sub-netting. I am going back and reviewing the study material to help myself understand it better. It has been going slower than other IT topics so far. Some of the information and material is somewhat intimidating, but I am learning it, just not as quickly as I had hoped for.
