C90.06

The Arcitura Education C90.06 exam, focused on Cisco Networking Fundamentals , covers a broad range of topics. There isn't a publicly available, definitive list of main points, as the emphasis may vary slightly depending on the specific version of the exam and Arcitura's curriculum. However, based on general knowledge of CCNA-level networking and the likely overlap with such certifications, the core concepts likely include:

• Network Fundamentals: This forms the bedrock. Expect questions on:

  • IP addressing: Subnetting (classless addressing, VLSM), IP address classes (though less relevant with classless), subnet masks, default gateways.
  • Network topologies: Bus, star, ring, mesh, etc. Understanding their advantages and disadvantages.
  • Network models: OSI model (layers and functions) and TCP/IP model (relationship to OSI).
  • Network devices: Routers, switches, hubs, firewalls—their roles and how they function in a network.
  • Basic cable types: Understanding the differences between various cabling types (e.g., fiber, copper, coax).

• LAN Switching:

  • Switching basics: MAC address learning, forwarding, and filtering.
  • VLANs (Virtual LANs): Understanding their purpose and configuration.
  • Trunking: Connecting VLANs between switches.

• IP Routing:

  • Routing protocols (basic concepts): While likely not deeply covered at this level, expect fundamental understanding of routing concepts and perhaps a glimpse into RIP or static routing. Understanding routing tables.

• Network Security (Basic):

  • Firewalls: Basic understanding of their function in network security. (Likely not deep-dive detail).
  • Access control lists (ACLs): Simple ACL concepts.

• Troubleshooting: Expect questions that involve identifying and resolving basic network issues.

Important Considerations:

• Hands-on experience: The exam likely tests practical understanding. Simple command-line interface (CLI) knowledge might be involved (though likely not extensive).
• Arcitura's curriculum: The most accurate and definitive guide to the exam's content will be Arcitura's own official study materials.

In short, the C90.06 exam focuses on building a solid foundation in networking concepts. It's an introductory-level exam, so the depth of knowledge required for each topic will be less than that expected for a CCNA certification, for example. Always refer to the official Arcitura materials for the most accurate and updated information.
