FAQ
Do I need GNS3, Packet Tracer, or any other software?
No. Everything runs in your browser—Chrome, Safari, or Firefox on phone, tablet, or desktop.
You do not install GNS3, Packet Tracer, IOU, VMs, or lab images. Open a URL and start typing commands in the simulated CLI.
That makes it practical on work laptops where IT blocks installs and admin rights.
How are the labs like the real CCNA exam?
Labs use the same browser testing engine as full library access—not a static PDF walkthrough or screenshot tour.
You work through objective-focused tasks in a simulated IOS-style console: type commands, read device output, and complete each step the way performance-based items expect on test day.
Full access also includes a 120-minute timed test simulation that mixes multiple-choice, drag-and-drop, and CLI-style items in one session—so you rehearse pacing and item types together, not just isolated labs.
Are Helper and solution files included?
Yes. Each CLI lab includes a Helper file with task breakdowns, hints, and verification steps so you are not guessing what to configure next.
A Solution (spoiler) file shows the full worked configuration when you are stuck or want to compare your approach after you try on your own.
Use Helper while you work; open the solution when you are ready to check your work—same pattern as exam-style lab prep, not a video course you watch passively.
Can I practice a lab more than once?
Yes—as many times as you like during your access window. Use Reset lab to clear the devices and run the scenario again from a clean state.
Repeat until the commands and verification steps feel automatic, especially for VLANs, routing, ACLs, and trunking objectives.
Are new labs added? Do I need to refresh?
Yes. New and updated CLI labs, questions, and simulation content are added regularly as the CCNA 200-301 blueprint evolves.
If you have had a tab open for a while, hard-refresh your browser (Cmd+Shift+R on Mac, Ctrl+Shift+R on Windows) before a study session so you load the latest lab list and fixes—not a cached older version.
Can I try a lab before I pay?
Yes. The
free VLAN CLI lab sample
uses the same UI, Helper, and testing engine as paid access—no account or checkout required.
What’s the difference between $9.99 and $19.99?
Both unlock the same full CCNA library—CLI labs, drag-and-drop, question banks, Helper and solution files, and the 120-minute timed simulation.
The 10-day pass ($9.99) fits a final sprint before exam day.
The 30-day pass ($19.99) gives you three times the study window for about twice the price.
Does access auto-renew?
No. Both passes are one-time purchases. You only pay again if you want another access window.
Can I study on a phone or tablet?
Yes. CLI labs, drag-and-drop, and the timed simulation run in mobile browsers.
Touch-friendly controls work on phone and tablet; use the same device throughout your access window so your pass stays recognized.
