Hi René ,

My Name is Vibil vishwanathan from India .
I am trying to complete my CCNA very soon and all your articles that i went through had been very simple, easier to understand and also interesting.
After going through some of my CCNA books it had been very difficult for me to understand few topics but your articles where incredibly useful.
The one difficulty that i am facing is that i am not getting any time to go for my Labs and practice but instead i am thinking if there is a right software out there that can help me test and learn from comfort of my home . Thanx

Hi Vibil,

Nice to meet you. For practice you can try GNS3 and my labs on GNS3vault.com

I mean subnetting, Rene

Hi Michael,

Did you see my subnetting lessons yet?

https://networklessons.com/subnetting-lessons/

The short answer is:

a) You need to learn how to calculate subnets in decimal, if you do it in binary then it takes too much time.
b) Practice, practice, practice until you can do this on top of your head.

From now on, if you do labs…don’t use /24 subnets in your topologies but mix some /27, /28, /12, /26, etc. subnets. This forces you to do some subnetting along the way.
