Click Study Flashcards above to open the flashcard hub — hundreds of CCNA cards you can flip, match, type, or quiz yourself on. Every card is drawn from the six official 200-301 domains, so you study exactly what the exam tests.[1] Pair them with our free practice test and study guide.

CCNA Flashcard Study Modes

Flip mode walks you through each card front and back at your own pace. Match is a timed game that pairs terms with their definitions. Type shows the definition and asks you to produce the term, so a front like DORA has to come back from memory. Quiz rebuilds the same cards as multiple choice for fast self-checks.

Why Flashcards Work for the CCNA

IP Connectivity carries the heaviest official weight at 25%, and its 48 cards drill the routing vocabulary that weight rests on. You get protocol cards such as OSPF, EIGRP and OSPFv2, older distance-vector terms like RIP, and the first-hop redundancy family where FHRP sits alongside HSRP, VRRP and GLBP.

Network Fundamentals is weighted at 20% and is the largest block in the deck with 66 cards. These fronts cover the hardware, addressing and encapsulation terms the rest of the exam assumes you already know, from Hub and NIC to ARP and PDU, plus sizing and addressing terms such as MTU, VLSM and SSID.

Network Access also sits at 20% and brings 50 cards built around switching, trunking and wireless. Expect VLAN and SVI for segmentation and interface terms, DTP and BPDU for trunk negotiation and spanning tree, and discovery and wireless cards including CDP, LLDP, WLC and WLAN.

Security Fundamentals is weighted at 15% across 44 cards. The fronts lean on access control and encryption terminology: AAA with its supporting protocols RADIUS and TACACS+, port-based control through 802.1X, tunneling with IPsec, and the wireless security progression from WPA to WPA2 and WPA3.

The two 10% domains close the deck. IP Services has 43 cards on the day-to-day protocols and address translation terms, including NAT, DHCP and DORA, plus management and transfer fronts such as NTP, SSH and FTP. Automation and Programmability has 37 cards on data formats like JSON, XML and YAML, configuration tools including Ansible, Chef and Puppet, and interface terms such as API and NETCONF.

The CCNA is dense with things you simply have to know cold — port numbers, administrative distances, OSPF neighbor states, command syntax, and security acronyms.[1] Spaced flashcards are the most efficient way to keep it all fresh. Used alongside our practice test and study guide, they turn review time into measurable progress.

CCNA Flashcards by Domain

The cards are organized by the six official 200-301 domains. Drill the highest-weighted ones first — IP Connectivity, Network Fundamentals, and Network Access make up 65% of the exam:[1]

How to Get the Most Out of These CCNA Flashcards

  • Start with IP Connectivity. Its 48 cards map to the 25% slice, and routing terms like OSPF and HSRP come up again inside troubleshooting and redundancy questions elsewhere.
  • Type-drill the acronyms. Fronts such as VLSM and TACACS+ are easy to recognize and hard to recall, so force yourself to produce the term from the definition alone.
  • Use Match for protocol families. It is fast for the first-hop redundancy set and the wireless security cards, where WPA2 and WPA3 blur together under any time pressure.
  • Switch to the practice test. Once Quiz runs clean across Network Fundamentals and Network Access, move to full-length questions that combine domains in one scenario.
  • Set a repeatable cadence. With 288 cards, take one domain per sitting, re-Flip the misses the next day, and use the study guide wherever a definition still feels thin.
