In this episode, we talk about volume 2 from the Cisco CCNA 200-301 Official Cert Guide, intended to aid in studying for the Cisco certification exam. Volume 2 builds upon foundational networking concepts, exploring topics like IP access control lists, network security including firewalls and intrusion prevention, DHCP, NAT, and WAN architectures such as Metro Ethernet and MPLS. The guide also covers network services like logging, NTP, CDP, and LLDP, as well as technologies like cloud computing, software-defined networking with DNA Center and SDA, and network automation using REST APIs and JSON. Furthermore, it discusses LAN architectures, PoE, and best practices for managing network configurations.
