- Compare TCP to UDP; compare physical interface and cabling types and identify interface/cable issues
- Explain virtualization fundamentals (server virtualization, containers, VRFs) and describe switching concepts (MAC learning/aging, frame switching/flooding, MAC address table)
- Describe wireless principles (nonoverlapping Wi-Fi channels, SSID, RF, encryption)
Domain 2 Network Access (20%)
- Configure and verify VLANs (normal range) spanning multiple switches, including access ports and InterVLAN connectivity
- Configure and verify interswitch connectivity (trunk ports, 802.1Q, native VLAN) and Layer 2 discovery protocols (CDP, LLDP)

Domain 3 IP Connectivity (25%)
- Interpret the components of a routing table (routing protocol code, prefix, network mask, next hop, administrative distance, metric, gateway of last resort)
- Determine how a router makes a forwarding decision by default (longest prefix match, administrative distance, routing protocol metric)
- Configure and verify IPv4 and IPv6 static routing (default, network, host, floating static routes)
- Configure and verify single area OSPFv2 (neighbor adjacencies, point-to-point, broadcast DR/BDR selection, router ID)
- Describe the purpose, functions, and concepts of first hop redundancy protocols
Domain 4 IP Services (10%)
- Configure and verify inside source NAT using static and pools
- Configure and verify NTP in client and server mode, and DHCP client/relay
- Explain the role of DHCP and DNS, and the function of SNMP, within the network
- Describe the use of syslog features including facilities and severity levels
- Explain forwarding per-hop behavior (PHB) for QoS (classification, marking, queuing, congestion, policing, shaping)
- Configure network devices for remote access using SSH; describe TFTP/FTP capabilities
Domain 5 Security Fundamentals (15%)
- Define key security concepts (threats, vulnerabilities, exploits, mitigation techniques) and security program elements (user awareness, training, physical access control)
- Configure and verify device access control using local passwords and security password policy elements (MFA, certificates, biometrics)
- Describe IPsec remote access and site-to-site VPNs
- Configure and verify access control lists and Layer 2 security features (DHCP snooping, dynamic ARP inspection, port security)
- Compare authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) concepts

Domain 6 Automation and Programmability (10%)
- Explain how automation impacts network management; compare traditional networks with controller-based networking
- Describe controller-based, software-defined architecture (overlay, underlay, fabric; separation of control/data plane; northbound/southbound APIs)
