@@DavidBombalTech hey Mr. Bombal, you recently also posted a free course on CCNA practical labs only.....I lost the link and I can't find the post.....can you kindly reshare here...I'd really appreciate🙏🙏😢....I had already started and I don't want to lose track. Thank you.

[@Lazalit]

I'm back at 2006, where I had so much fun with CCNA 2, 3 & 4 with CLM and using real Cisco Routers and Switch. It's true that Packet Tracer made more accesable for those who can't afford any device cisco or practicing at home, but as my profesor told me once "The confidence you gain doesn't come from practicing something you should know. it comes from involving yourself closer to real cases and scenarios."

[@TradeMate_official]

Sir can intermediate student get job after CCNA ❤

[@mrfixitofficial]

This is genius. Makes it easier to remember information because you can see the actual devices/tools. Thank You DB!

[@DavidBombalTech]

Glad you are enjoying the videos! :)

[@JoseyStranded]

That's a lot of work you've done. Very much appreciated. I already work as a telecommunications technician but will be following this course all the same. And it really is very important to see and preferable touch and use the physical devices. There's a lot the CCNA does not include that you will only learn by doing.

[@DavidBombalTech]

Agreed! Best way to learn!

[@exploreshenzhen]

​@@DavidBombalTechwill you upload the whole course or is it just one video?

[@DavidBombalTech]

@@exploreshenzhen The whole course.

[@floydds]

@@DavidBombalTech Thanks and appreciate your support for showing us Hands-On experience which is very much needed, but would want to know by when will you be uploading your videos on this CCNA course

[@golmatol6537]

As a person who does not have 1000's of dollars to spare, I will have to be content with looking at google images and youtube videos showing these routers/switches. I hope I can complete this series you have so graciously provided.

[@bennymaas7128]

I started my apprenticeship as an IT Specialist for Systems Integration 2 weeks ago and I've been using your old CCNA course to learn. But this is amazing timing, thank you David.

[@DavidBombalTech]

That is awesome!

[@Ramben1]

Hello bro can you give me your FB I want to ask you because I want to apply for apprenticeship in system integration. Thank you.

[@robert907]

already love the approach, i work as an IT tech/ jr systems admin and my boss is a network engineer, i struggle alot with the abstact nature of networking all the time, i always need to physically see things to understand it. But once I do and it all clicks its so exciting. Seeing the actual equipment and not just looking at packet tracer is already making huge difference.

[@ganeshgupta953]

Hi David, I appreciate your work and contribution towards the community. This would be a great to learn more on CCNA. Thanks... and much love & respect.

[@DavidBombalTech]

Thank you! I hope you learn a lot in my course :)

[@agentford_007]

really if a teacher can be so dedicated to help us ............i believe we all should proud him with a great learning.......❤❤❤❤

[@JeremyKral-networking]

That's what I personally struggled with a lot, conceptualizing the topics in physical use. If I'm reading up on something, I would need to revisit the topic several times until I get it. When I started doing remote hands work, I significantly gained a better understanding on everything. This course is going to be a hidden gem with the goals you sought out.

[@tabinimtiyaz85]

David, I just want to say how much I appreciate your teaching style. You always come across as so sincere and genuine, and it’s clear that you genuinely care about helping others learn. The way you explain complex topics with such decency and clarity makes it easy for beginners like me to follow along. Keep up the amazing work-your content is a real game-changer for so many of us!

[@DavidBombalTech]

Thank you! And you're very welcome

[@Rahultttt-x6h]

I really appreciate you, brother, for putting in so much effort for us. Even a paid tuition center cannot teach like you. I first saw your video on Udemy, and then I came here. Thank you, big brother!

[@roxan1344]

this is actually going to help me a lot! i started watching NetworkChuck's Free CCNA Course and im also planning on watching your Course after i finish that one just to make sure i cover as much material as possible! thank you and can't wait to start!

[@mostafaihssan6197]

Thank you for speaking slowly and using very clear words. I’m very curious to follow your upcoming videos. I took my CCNA exam, but unfortunately, I didn’t pass. As you mentioned, Packet Tracer alone was not enough.

[@rogerd6166]

David, i work in this industry and i fully agree with your hands on approach. Its difficult for people however to access these devices without forking out lots of money for lab kits. Its nice to see that you will be including them in your course. A couple of things that the CCNA does not teach however (as fare as i am aware) is, password recovery, IOS installs/upgrades using TFTP services on old equipment (still being used as they are so reliable). New devices have USB ports so you can copy files directly to flash etc. Console access, uses the old blue usb to serial adaptors but are now being replaced with different usb cables such as usbc - usb mini. A tech will have to arm themselves with different console access opptions if they go down the route of break fix/install road. I will look forward to your course. You are with out a dought the best CCIE on youtube. Bravo.

[@DavidBombalTech]

Thank you! I appreciate that! I'll be covering all the options including TFTP and using the old style console cables in the course.

[@divinelove-vo7zv]

thank you David ... watching you talking about CCNA gives nostalgia..

[@DavidBombalTech]

Time flies!

[@javohirkhujamberdiev]

I have watched your video without skipping. I don't remember when I watched a full video last time. Thanks for your hard work. Can't wait for the next video

Thank You David for putting in your resources into actual hardware. I recently became a network engineer and have no prior exposure to Cisco devices new or old. I am learning for my CCNA currently and your video is really helpful. Wish to see more video as such. It would be great if you could show us how to configure a cisco / switch physically 🙂

[@itskenzye]

The only practical video that is actually helpful, please continue the playlist specially the practical parts

[@madankhanal6039]

I've been waiting for this video for the past two years! While I studied Networking, I could only practice through labs on Packet Tracer due to COVID. To be honest, I never had the chance to actually see or work with the networking equipment in our college labs. I've been following David on TikTok, eagerly waiting for videos like this. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@DavidBombalTech]

Thank you! I'm making the course as practical as possible and will also be adding some extras to make stuff more real world 😀

[@angelajohnson4666]

David thank you. I had already paid for the CCNA on your website probably two years ago. I completed most of it but never had the chance to actually prepare and take the exam. Although you mentioned you have improved it. The bottom line is when I have been having to pick up the pieces from the collapsing system, the time left more me too deal with my own path has almost been non existent.

[@DrZona19]

Thank you David for this video and this new course. This is a very timely video for me; I just spent my entire morning reading about a lot of the equipment you showed off in this video, and but I still couldn't tell you what any of them looked like before watching this. I've started studying for the Net+ and CCNA recently, and I'm looking forward to future installments in this series!

[@adilsonclemente4896]

Hi David, thank you so much for making this course available for free, I can't wait to take it. I'm a Computer Network enthusiast and I've been following your great work here on KZbin from Angola (Africa). I really appreciate all you have been doing to help people build and grow their career in the tech field. Wish you all the best!

[@luxtimes]

This is really great David, Thank you for all this.. even though I'm a CCNA certified kid, i still wanna learn with you more and more from this course

[@mvpelt78]

This video is a perfect example why I use your lessons. I very pleased to see and hear what you want to learn me. Being a MSc mathematician born 46 years ago, I have seen to upcoming of digital networks in the University of technology Eindhoven, but mathematics is more focused on how to think in abstracts. A lot more has to be learned about network architecture, protocols etc. .. the combination of both makes a difference when I try to design something practically implemented using certain very interesting things from the vast field of mathematics. But eventually creating and using these abstract concepts from mathematics, will still be needed to transform from an idea formed by high level abstract thinking written on a piece of paper towards something that can run on the digital network. So for me it's very useful to see the hardware and the total process of building blocks inside the digital network. This way I can see a network design from scratch, information about all the hardware involved with this and the way internet development into what nowadays is used. Thanks for this approach, Mr. Bombal.

[@Tarakiiht]

It's great to have it all the Network gears to learn it, you are awesome David

[@mellord83]

This will be fun to follow along! Nothing beats the look and feel of real gear! I have a few routers and switches which I used to get my CCNA ten years ago. Currently using CML to upgrade my CCNA 👍

[@pablohirchoren4365]

Awesome course Mr. Bombal! Another great contribution to the community

[@carloscontreras3099]

I certified as a CCIE in 1997, back then I remember that had to borrow actual physical devices to simulate CCIE lab configs, a lot of 2501 routers, hubs, catalyst-kalpana switches, tokenring routers (I think these were 2502s), I had a big pile of routers in a meeting room connected back to back with V.35 cables (DTE -DCEs) and a lot of ethernet cables to built an actual frame relay network with a lot of protocols redistributing RIP, EIGRP, BGP, static routes, etc. it was really fun and really you have more hands on that today with emulators. After finishing my weekend lab btw I had to disconnect all and return all the borrow equipments to start all over the next weekend :-) , great idea from David using real gear to return to the basics !

[@DavidBombalTech]

Sounds very similar to my CCIE studies! So much better with physical equipment (even though it was a massive hassle)
