Hello! I’m AbdulRhman AbdulGhaffar, and this repository marks the beginning of my journey with National Telecommunication Institute (NTI) in learning networking and cybersecurity. Here, I document solutions for Cisco labs with detailed explanations, aiming to share knowledge and provide practical solutions for students and professionals alike.my journey of learning and mastering Cisco's CCNA V7 certification. This repository contains a collection of labs, configurations, and notes that I will apply and solve throughout my path to achieve this certification. I will break down the content into 3 semesters, each focusing on different aspects of networking fundamentals. Every semester will contain lab exercises, configurations, and real-world applications to deepen my understanding.
This repository is dedicated to documenting and solving the labs and exercises from the CCNA V7 course. The course is divided into three semesters, and I will be solving and uploading the labs for each semester as I go along. Below is an overview of each semester and what it covers:
In the first semester, we dive into the fundamentals of networking. This semester covers the essential concepts needed to understand how networks operate. Topics include:
- Introduction to networking
- TCP/IP model and OSI model
- IP addressing and subnetting
- Basic network devices: Routers, Switches, and their configuration
- Network protocols (e.g., DHCP, DNS, HTTP, etc.)
Labs in Semester 1:
The labs will focus on configuring basic switches and routers, verifying IP addressing, and learning about network layer protocols.
Semester 2 takes networking to the next level by introducing more advanced topics such as routing protocols and deeper network design. Key topics include:
- VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks)
- Routing protocols: RIP, OSPF, EIGRP
- Subnetting in depth
- Switch configuration: Trunking, VTP, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
Labs in Semester 2:
Expect to work on configuring VLANs, routing between different networks, and advanced troubleshooting techniques for networks.
In the final semester, the focus shifts toward securing networks and automating network tasks using scripting. Topics include:
- Security concepts: Firewalls, ACLs (Access Control Lists)
- VPNs and encryption
- Automating network configuration with tools like Python
- Basic network troubleshooting and monitoring
Labs in Semester 3:
Labs will cover securing routers and switches, configuring VPNs, and applying Python scripts to automate configurations.
As I progress through each semester, I will apply my knowledge to real-world scenarios by completing hands-on labs and documenting the steps. All the solutions will be shared on this repository, with detailed explanations and commands used to solve each task.

- Step-by-step explanations of each task
- Links to Cisco Packet Tracer files for practical exercises
CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) is an industry-leading certification that validates skills in networking, security, and automation. The CCNA V7 course prepares individuals to work with networking technologies and provides a comprehensive foundation in IT and networking.
The course is divided into 3 semesters, and by the end, I will be able to:
- Configure, troubleshoot, and manage network infrastructure
- Understand network security and automation processes
- Apply best practices for routing, switching, and network security
Feel free to follow along as I work through each semester and update the repository with new labs, solutions, and learning materials. This repository will be regularly updated, so stay tuned for more!
