Overview

What this certification is and how the exam works.

CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) validates the essential knowledge and skills needed to design, configure, manage, and troubleshoot wired and wireless networks. The exam covers five domains: Networking Concepts (the OSI model, ports and protocols, network appliances, cloud concepts, and IPv4/IPv6 addressing), Network Implementation (routing and switching technologies, wireless standards, and physical installations), Network Operations (documentation, monitoring, high availability, and disaster recovery), Network Security (security concepts, hardening, and physical security), and Network Troubleshooting (a structured methodology plus cabling, connectivity, services, and performance issues). The exam has a maximum of 90 questions in 90 minutes, with a passing score of 720 on a scale of 100–900. CompTIA recommends CompTIA A+ and about 9–12 months of networking experience.
