Free CCNA & CCNP Training Videos
Real lessons and full lab walkthroughs recorded by CISNET instructor Mani Poopal (2x CCIE). Watch how we teach before you enroll, or use the labs to sharpen your own practice.
Every video below is free on the CISNET YouTube channel, taught by the same instructor who leads our live courses.
Start with CCNA
Course introductions, exam strategy, and the IP addressing and subnetting foundations every CCNA candidate needs first.
CCNA Course Overview (2026)
The 2026 CCNA 200-301 course overview from Mani (2x CCIE): what you learn, how the live weekend classes and hands-on Packet Tracer labs run, and how CISNET gets you certified on the first try.
CCNA (200-301) Live Online Classes at CISNET
What CISNET's live, instructor-led CCNA 200-301 training looks like, and how students from Canada and the US join the online classes.
Introduction to the CCNA Course
A full walkthrough of the CCNA 200-301 course at CISNET: topics covered, how labs work, and what to expect week by week.
CCNA Day 1: Router Basics
A real first class from the CCNA course: router components, IOS basics, and your first configuration commands.
How to Pass the Cisco CCNA (200-301) Exam
Exam strategy from a 2x CCIE instructor: how the CCNA 200-301 is structured, where candidates lose marks, and how to prepare.
Introduction to IP Addressing
IPv4 addressing from zero: address classes, network vs host bits, and the foundation you need before subnetting.
Introduction to IP Subnetting
Subnetting explained step by step by Mani (2x CCIE): subnet masks, borrowing bits, and solving subnetting questions fast.
CCNA Lab Walkthroughs
Full routing and services labs recorded from live classes: static routing, RIP, OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, DHCP, NAT, and IPv6.
CCNA Static Routing Lab
Configure static routes across a multi-router topology and verify reachability, the first routing lab in the CCNA track.
CCNA RIP Lab
Configure RIP routing, watch route advertisements propagate, and verify the routing table.
CCNA OSPF Lab
Single-area OSPF from scratch: neighbor adjacencies, router IDs, and verifying OSPF routes in the table.
CCNA EIGRP Lab
Configure EIGRP, form neighborships, and understand metrics and successor routes hands-on.
CCNA BGP Lab
A first look at BGP for CCNA students: establishing a peering session and advertising networks.
CCNA DHCP and NAT Lab
Configure a router as a DHCP server and set up NAT so private hosts reach the internet, two exam-critical services in one lab.
IPv6 Class Lab
IPv6 addressing and configuration in practice: address types, interface config, and verification.
CCNP and Advanced Labs
Professional-level switching and routing labs: STP, VLANs and EtherChannel, HSRP, BGP, redistribution, MPLS VPN, and VRF.
CCNP Enterprise (ENCOR and ENARSI) Overview
What the CCNP Enterprise path covers, how ENCOR and ENARSI fit together, and who should take them after CCNA.
Spanning Tree Protocol Class
A full STP class: root bridge election, port roles, and why loops break networks without it.
VLAN, VTP, Trunking and EtherChannel Lab
Layer 2 in one lab: VLANs, VTP domains, trunk negotiation, and bundling links with EtherChannel.
HSRP Switching Lab
First-hop redundancy with HSRP: active/standby election, preemption, and failover testing.
SVI vs Routed Port Lab
Inter-VLAN routing two ways on a multilayer switch, and when to choose an SVI over a routed port.
Advanced Switching Lab
A long-form switching lab combining VLANs, trunking, STP tuning, and redundancy features end to end.
OSPF Lab (CCNP/CCIE)
Multi-area OSPF at professional depth: area types, LSAs, and route summarization in a large topology.
EIGRP Lab (CCNP/CCIE)
Advanced EIGRP: metrics, load balancing, summarization, and tuning beyond the CCNA basics.
Named EIGRP Lab (CCNP/CCIE)
Named-mode EIGRP configuration, the address-family syntax tested at the professional level.
BGP Lab 1
eBGP peering fundamentals for CCNP: neighbor statements, advertising networks, and path verification.
BGP Lab 2
iBGP and eBGP together: full-mesh requirements, next-hop-self, and troubleshooting session states.
BGP Lab 3
BGP path manipulation: local preference, MED, and AS-path prepending to control traffic flow.
Internet BGP 101
How BGP actually runs the internet: autonomous systems, peering, and what a real route table looks like.
Route Redistribution Lab
Redistribute between OSPF and EIGRP safely: metrics, route tagging, and avoiding routing loops.
MPLS VPN Lab (CCNP/CCIE)
Build a service-provider MPLS L3VPN: VRFs, MP-BGP, and label switching across the core.
VRF Lite Lab
Segment one physical router into isolated routing tables with VRF Lite, no MPLS required.
DHCP, NTP and GRE Lab
Three infrastructure services in one lab: DHCP relay, time sync with NTP, and GRE tunneling.

Free training video FAQs
Are the CISNET training videos free?
Yes. Every video on this page is free to watch on the CISNET YouTube channel, with no signup or payment required.
Who teaches the CISNET video lessons?
The lessons and lab walkthroughs are taught by CISNET instructor Mani Poopal, a CCIE-certified network engineer with over 20 years of enterprise experience, the same instructor who leads the live CCNA and CCNP courses.
What topics do the free CCNA and CCNP videos cover?
The library covers core CCNA and CCNP material including subnetting, OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, switching, and full lab walkthroughs you can follow along with in Cisco Packet Tracer.
Do the videos replace the live CISNET course?
No. The videos are free samples of how CISNET teaches. The live CCNA and CCNP courses add guided labs, structured pacing, one-on-one exam prep, and direct instructor support.
