CCNA v2.0 Knowledge Matrix

Plan your study for Cisco® CCNA® 200-301 v2.0. Compare topic references with the planned Networks 101, 201, and 202 course areas, record what needs practice, and export your plan.

29 parent objectives · v2.0 · Mapping checked 2026-10-05

Studying for the upcoming exam? Cisco lists February 3, 2027 as the first testing date for v2.0. Check the official exam page before choosing your exam version. This free planning tool is available now; the RSU v2.0 courses are not yet released.

How to use the matrix and read its limits

Start with the topics you need to learn. Mark your confidence after explaining a concept or attempting a task. Your ratings are self-assessments, not graded results or a prediction of passing the exam.

Topic labels are shortened study references. Use Cisco's full objectives for the official wording and subtopics. The course links show planned areas in the RSU curriculum, not released lessons or verified coverage. Use the full objectives to check scope before choosing study resources.

Networks 101, 201, and 202 are in development. All rows remain marked planned until the relevant lessons and exercises are released and their coverage is reviewed. Self-ratings never change that status.

Your ratings stay in this open page. They are not sent to RouteSwitchU or saved in browser storage. Export a matrix file before leaving, then load it to continue later. Loading a file replaces the ratings currently on this page.
