Good day!

Just like to share the experience re: TestOut Lab 6.4.10 > Question 3 is confusing.

It asks, which IP address is assigned to the CorpNet Bldg A router?



However, when you check the exhibit there's CorpNet router and a Bldg A router.


Many students answer based on the CorpNet router whereas, the question is actually asking for the Bldg A.

I've sent the feedback for TestOut / CompTIA to rewrite the question to just Bldg A router, instead of CorpNet Bldg A router.

Hello everyone, if you are teaching N10-009, do take note of a few errors on the slide deck. (Maybe the content creators can update the materials?)


Module 5 Slide 19 (Question 4 suggested answer should be OSPF)



Module 6 Slide 31 (The diagram is cut off at the bottom, steps 6 and 7 is not visible)



Module 9 Slide 39 (Should read "Rogue DHCP Server Attacks involve an unauthorized server distributing incorrect network addresses to clients")

It is 802.11a-ht.

I was honored to be chosen to be among the first to acquiree the CloudNetX inception version certification. I completed the exam today.

Advanced cloud networking skills across multiple providers, particularly cloud connectivity technologies and solutions such as VXLAN, GENEVE, CMDB, ZTNA, Wifi-6, WPA3, Wireguard VPN, DEVOPS, IaC Resource provisioning and configuration, Version Control secrets management, and QoS, were heavily featured in the exam.

Some Performance Based Questions were slightly difficult, while others were outright simple if you have actual cloud networking abilities, particularly in VPC peering, WAF, Application Gateway, and NSG configuration.

It was a rewarding challenge that I eagerly accepted to supplement my practical abilities across a wide range of cloud technologies, and I am confident of passing when the results of this beta exam are revealed in January 2025.

In CompTIA Network+ N10-008 Student Guide, Pg. 163. or Instructor Guide Pg. 168.
Question 5 states:
5. A company has eight networks, using the subnet addresses 192.168.0.0/24,
192.168.1.0/24 … 192.168.7.0/24. What network prefix and subnet mask can be used to summarize a
supernet route to these networks?

Answer:
It takes 3 bits to summarize eight networks (23 = 8). Subtracting 3 bits from the existing network
mask makes the supernet network prefix /21. The third octet of the mask will use 5 bits, which is
248 in decimal (25 = 248), so the full mask is 255.255.248.0.

This class is unable to grasp this concept, & I am running out of ways to explain & time to stay on track to finish class where I need to for the day. Any help explaining is greatly appreciated.

Hello all,
I've been in IT field for over 20 years, mostly as an administrator and engineer. I'm looking to take my knowledge and skills to another avenue as an instructor. I have certifications in Comptia as well as Microsoft, and recently have become an MCT. I've done some training internally and am now looking for an opportunity to instruct outside my current role part time, and test the waters. I suspected this would be difficult getting my foot in the door, just as any new venture would be.

Any leads or opportunities would be most appreciated.

Best regards.

Had to do it before the TTT voucher expired - great exam all around, and the simulations were epic

This is why I am going to be on the trailing edge of the entire AI party.

It really is a fundamental level of trust.

Thanks,

Just sharing this seemingly disconnected instruction and question in the 5.6.11 Lab: Configure Switch IP Settings - CLI

The instruction says to find the IP address assigned to F0/0 of the SFO router. (ok, i understand the task)
The task says, use "show cdp neighbors detail" (eh?)



If you follow the instructions, you'll get this:


If you are a Cisco instructor, you would know that the better command to use is "show ip interface brief"


Fortunately, my class knows Cisco configuration.
But I'm sharing this with everyone as we find the instruction abit lost in answering the question.

Good day! Has anyone done the lab re: 5.1.10 Lab: Cisco Troubleshooting Tools from TestOut Labs for Network+?

One of the tasks says "Test the connection from SFO router to Wrk1".
As you can see in the screenshot, the ping is successful.



So we answer the question:



But when we check the answers, it will say that we answered it wrong.


Per checking, the answer that it is looking for is 0 (zero). What???





I hope someone from CompTIA and/or TestOut can fix this erratum.

I am about to start preparing for the Security+ exam. Is there any suggestions of study tools to use? Or any advice on preparing and taking it?

Hi,

I dont see any instruction sheet

After I click START, dont see any answers , other than the tasks on the LEFT









Here is another one

I'm currently participating in the train-the-trainer sessions for the N10-009 certification series as a new IT freelance trainer. I'm excited to learn and prepare for delivering quality sessions next month. Will there be access to the CompTIA instructor guide for N10-009 during these sessions?

Your insights and expertise from the train-the-trainer series would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a ton for your help.

OK! Our next session of The Pulse is coming up on Thursday July 25th. It’s time to get past the FUD and take a data-driven look at what AI is doing for us, to us, and with us. Join CompTIA’s Chief Technology Evangelist, Dr. James Stanger, to learn about research CompTIA has completed about recent AI trends. He will discuss the impact of current AI usage, and the myriad meanings of the term, “AI.” Are in an era of Copilot co-dependence, or are we in an era of AI enhanced, hyper-human creativity and interaction? James will also discuss case studies of how AI may be affecting job roles and work flows.

AI now creates the music we hear and the things we see. We’ve seen what happens when we drop tech and automation into a problematic culture. What happens when drop AI into the mix? Will it create chaos or cultural guardrails? Join James to learn more about the impacts of our current and future use of AI.

Hi,
Now the CompTIa and Testout have merged, Are both websites becoming one? If not then how do I determine when to use Testout or CompTIA CertMaster?

THanks

Hi,
Is there an option in https://learn.comptia.org/ to find out if a student has passed an exam? Also, I have had a couple of participants who start the course and drop out. Are we suppose to unenrolled them from the roster or leave them until the course expires?

I have been in the IT field for over 20 years and in different industries. I hold a Network+ cert, as well as a few Microsoft certifications, including an Microsoft Certified Trainer. I've held training in-house for colleagues and sometimes short tips and tricks. I've always wanted to be an instructor in IT and now that I have my MCT I would like to begin part time. So aside from having my certifications, I would love the opportunity to instruct a class such as Network+ or A+, or any other Comptia course that I can easily get certified in.
