It's been quiet here for a few weeks and there's a reason. Two, actually. The first is that I've been heads-down on work for Cisco — I've just finished building the labs for CLHCT, and I'm about to start the refresh of their IPv6 course. That's the kind of thing that eats evenings. The second is that Cisco announced CCNA 200-301 v2.0, live February 2027. Same exam code, completely rewritten underneath — 6 domains collapsed into 5, 111 objectives down to 59, and the verbs shifted hard from "describe" to "troubleshoot" and "configure". There's also an entire new domain on AI in network operations. I've spent the last stretch mapping every single v2 objective against the material on the site, and that's now live: 👉 academy.anythingoverip.com/ccna-v2-hub/ You can pick your exam version at the top of either hub page. If you're sitting CCNA this year, stay on v1 — nothing changes for you. If you're planning for February onward, v2 shows you exactly which objectives already have material and which are still being written. A few things I found while doing it, which might save you some panic: • Most of what you're studying still counts. About 75% of the existing material maps straight onto a v2 objective. • What's gone: NTP, QoS, network topology types, TCP vs UDP comparison, IPv6 anycast/multicast, JSON and REST APIs. • What's new: agentic AI in network operations, prompt selection for gen-AI tooling, OSPFv3, VRRP, storm control, RA guard, SFTP/SCP, and DNS record-level troubleshooting. • The AI domain is 10% of the exam. That's not a gimmick — you'll be asked to evaluate output from AI assistants and decide whether to act on it. More v2 material is landing every few days. Everything already published stays exactly where it is.

Don’t miss out - only 12 spots left!!!!! Last week, I launched my CCNA, Network+, and CCST practice exams. 👉 academy.anythingoverip.com/exams/ Here’s why this matters: I’ve written 5 official Cisco exams. I know: • how the questions are structured • what they actually test • how they try to catch you out These exams are built to train you to think like the real exam — not memorize answers. Right now I’m giving early members: 🎁 1 YEAR FREE access (normally $79, moving to ~$299/year) This is the lowest price this will ever be. ⚠️ Only 25 spots going for free, *** 12 left! ***. To get access: 1. Create a FREE account on the website above, then 2. Reply “FOUNDERS” and I'll upgrade you. If you’re studying for CCNA / Network+… You should be using this. Don’t miss it.

Just published a new post explaining PortFast and why it's essential for reducing network startup times! Ever wonder why your laptop takes 30 seconds to get network access when you plug in? PortFast is the answer. What's your experience with PortFast in production networks? https://academy.anythingoverip.com/portfast-importance-in-rapid-pvst/?ref=skool

Hey everyone, don't forget, the launch pricing for founding members ends on the academy website this weekend. On the 1st July, the price will increase. If you want to lock in the founding member price, you need to do it by Sunday! Founding member pricing is $79 per year or $9 per month. Locked in forever, the price won't change if you lock it in before Sunday. On Monday, the pro pricing remains at $199 per year or $24 per month. The price includes ALL exams, which are also backed by a money-back guarantee. If you don't pass your real exam, you get your money back (T&C's are on the website). It will also include all Packet Tracer labs and my new exam engine, which should be launching soon. The academy.anythingoverip.com website has exploded this year. The server nearly crashed twice when I offered free access earlier this year, and again when I dropped all the exams in one go last month. I've since adjusted the hosting system and distributed the workload across more servers to take the hits when they come, and we have been stable for a long time now. As of today, we are getting over 5,000 unique visitors to the site per day, and more than 2,000 exams have been taken (start to finish), not just the practice and learning modes. Thanks for the support so far, and all the best for your studies now and in the future. As always, if there is anything I can do to help you, let me know. I'm hoping to spend more time making videos and doing more labs in July.
