A Practice Quiz For The CCENT Certification Exam

Do you have any experience with CCENT? The CCENT is the acronym for Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician. It is an entry-level certification designed to give someone the basic knowledge to begin a career in networking and instill in someone the appropriate networking skills to understand how networking affects applications or operating systems. A programmer, for example, might be interested in this certification. This quiz will give you some insight regarding going in for this certification yourself.

Questions and Answers

1.
