What Books do We Need to Read for CCNA by Self-study

Cisco CCNA can be said to be the basis of Cisco Certification. Maybe your goal is CCIE and you don’t intend to take CCNA Test, but the knowledge you need to master also starts from CCNA. Moreover, CCNA has now integrated nine directions. Mastering these knowledge points is very important for the next CCNP or CCIE Test. So how to learn CCNA? What books are helpful for learning CCNA?

What kind of learning method is better for CCNA? Let’s talk about CCNA learning first. When it comes to CCNA learning methods, that would be self-study and training. Self-study is nothing more than finding some materials, reading some books, or surfing the Internet to see if there are relevant videos. If you already have a certain foundation, in fact, as far as the foundation of CCNA is concerned, you can complete learning by self-study. If you have no foundation and are a rookie, it may be more difficult to learn by yourself. After all, network engineer is a professional with technical content. Therefore, for some novices, we usually recommend a systematic training, which is still necessary.
