The online written portion tests the student’s complete knowledge of internetworking concepts. The hands-on component demonstrates the abilities of the contestant to make cables, troubleshoot network systems, configure routers, switches and servers, to deliver customer service in a technical assistant center environment. The contestants will find errors in WAN and LAN networks, do an ISP configuration using routers and switches, talk a technician through an error they are having on their network, and take an online certification type test. The national contest is based on the most current CCNA certification.
