- Numbering follows the 12-module course order.
- Module 08 covers subnets and VLANs, one of the heavier exam areas.
05-resourcesis intentionally not surfaced here right now. Specific files can be added later when they are ready to share.- The repository is designed for repeated study: read, practice, test, build, then revisit weak topics.
Study the notes. Drill the exercises. Prove it in the labs.
