The exam
Network+ certifies that a technician can stand up and keep running a small-to-midsize network: deploying wired and wireless connectivity, configuring common network services, documenting the estate, monitoring traffic, hardening the network, and troubleshooting it when it breaks. The exam is vendor-neutral, so it tests standards, protocols, tools, and documented procedures rather than any one manufacturer's product line. Coverage spans networking concepts, implementation, operations, security, and troubleshooting, with troubleshooting the single largest domain at 24%. The sitting is a maximum of 90 multiple-choice and performance-based questions in 90 minutes, scored on a 100–900 scale with 720 required to pass.
Who it is for
Aimed at technicians with roughly nine to twelve months of hands-on experience in an IT networking role — junior network administrators, network field technicians, help desk staff who own connectivity escalations, and systems administrators responsible for part of the network. Candidates are expected to already work with switches, routers, access points, and IP addressing day to day rather than to be meeting networking for the first time. It is most often taken after A+ and before Security+ or a vendor-specific associate-level networking certification.

Sample 1 · Concept
A help desk technician receives a call about intermittent network drops.
