Free CCNA Practice Test (200-301 v1.1)

This free Cisco CCNA practice test checks your readiness for the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA 200-301) exam with 50 exam-style questions across all six domains, each with an explanation for every answer choice. Built by Training Camp, a Cisco Learning Partner, and drawn from the same v1.1 exam topics we teach in our CCNA Boot Camp. New to CCNA? Learn more about the certification.

What's on the Cisco CCNA (200-301) exam?

The CCNA 200-301 exam (exam topics v1.1) is organized into six weighted domains, and this test pulls questions from each: Network Fundamentals (20%), Network Access (20%), IP Connectivity (25%), IP Services (10%), Security Fundamentals (15%), and Automation and Programmability (10%). The real exam has a 120-minute time limit. Cisco does not publish a fixed question count (candidates typically report around 100) or a fixed passing score, and the exam mixes multiple-choice items with simulation-style items.

Cisco announced CCNA 200-301 v2.0 on May 20, 2026. The v2.0 exam topics, which add new domains including AI, take effect February 3, 2027, and the v1.1 exam topics retire on February 2, 2027. This practice test follows v1.1, the version that is live today, and we keep the questions aligned with the current published exam topics.

How to use this practice test

Take it once without notes to get an honest baseline. Read the explanation for every answer, including the ones you got right, because the incorrect-choice explanations are where the distinctions between similar features (restrict versus protect, LACP active versus passive, inside local versus inside global) get spelled out. Then focus your study on the weakest domain and retake the test in a week. The timer keeps you honest about pace: you get 60 minutes for 50 questions, about 1.2 minutes per item, which mirrors the real exam's 120 minutes for roughly 100 questions. Practice reading each scenario once, eliminating two distractors quickly, and committing to an answer.

Sample CCNA Practice Questions

Four questions from the bank, one per domain, with the reasoning behind every answer. The full test has 50.

Question 1 Network Fundamentals

You are subnetting the 10.10.0.0/16 address space and must assign each user segment the smallest possible subnet that still provides at least 500 usable host addresses. Which subnet mask should you use for these segments?

  1. 255.255.254.0 (/23) Correct
  2. 255.255.255.0 (/24)
  3. 255.255.255.128 (/25)
  4. 255.255.252.0 (/22)
Why this is the best answer

Correct. 500 usable hosts requires 9 host bits because 2^9 - 2 = 510 (>= 500), while 8 host bits give only 2^8 - 2 = 254. Nine host bits leaves a /23 prefix, which is 255.255.254.0 and is the smallest mask that fits 500 hosts.

Question 2 Network Access

Three switches share a Layer 2 domain. SW1 has bridge priority 32768 and MAC aabb.cc00.0100; SW2 has priority 24576 and MAC aabb.cc00.0200; SW3 has priority 24576 and MAC aabb.cc00.0300. Which switch is elected the STP root bridge?

  1. SW1, because it has the lowest MAC address (aabb.cc00.0100)
  2. SW2, because it ties SW3 for the lowest priority (24576) and has the lower MAC address Correct
  3. SW3, because the highest MAC address wins the tiebreak
  4. SW1, because the default priority 32768 is preferred for the root role
Why this is the best answer

Correct. Root election compares bridge priority first; SW2 and SW3 tie at 24576 (lower than SW1's 32768). The tiebreaker is the lowest MAC address, and aabb.cc00.0200 is lower than aabb.cc00.0300, so SW2 wins.

Question 3 IP Connectivity

A router's IP routing table contains the following routes: 0.0.0.0/0 via R-A, 10.0.0.0/8 via R-B, 10.1.0.0/16 via R-C, and 10.1.1.0/24 via R-D. The router must forward a packet destined for 10.1.1.55. Which next hop does it use?

  1. 10.1.1.0/24 via R-D Correct
  2. 10.1.0.0/16 via R-C
  3. 10.0.0.0/8 via R-B
  4. 0.0.0.0/0 via R-A
Why this is the best answer

Correct. Routers use longest-prefix match. 10.1.1.55 matches 10.1.1.0/24, 10.1.0.0/16, 10.0.0.0/8, and the default; the /24 is the most specific (longest) match, so R-D is used.

Question 4 IP Services

Inside host 192.168.1.10 accesses external server 8.8.8.8. R1 performs PAT (overload), translating the source to its public address 203.0.113.5. In the resulting NAT translation table, which address is the 'inside global' address?

  1. 8.8.8.8
  2. The dynamic TCP port number assigned by PAT
  3. 192.168.1.10
  4. 203.0.113.5 Correct
Why this is the best answer

Correct. The inside global address is how an inside host is seen from the outside after translation, i.e., the public address 203.0.113.5. (Inside local is 192.168.1.10; outside global/local is 8.8.8.8.)

Every one of the 50 questions works this way: an explanation for the right answer and for the one you picked, so a wrong answer teaches you something. Questions last reviewed against the current Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA 200-301) objectives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about the test, the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA 200-301) exam, and how to prepare.

Is this CCNA practice test free?

Yes. Training Camp's CCNA practice test is completely free. You get exam-style questions across all six Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA 200-301) domains, with a written explanation for every answer choice.

How does this practice test work?

It is 50 multiple-choice questions drawn from all six CCNA 200-301 v1.1 domains, with an instant explanation after each answer and a 60-minute timer, which is timed to the pace of the real exam (120 minutes for roughly 100 questions). You can retake it as often as you want. It is a readiness check, not a substitute for full preparation.

How many questions are on the real CCNA exam?

Cisco does not publish a fixed question count for the CCNA 200-301 exam; candidates typically report around 100 questions. The time limit is 120 minutes, and the exam includes multiple-choice and simulation-style items.

What score do I need to pass the CCNA?

Cisco does not publish a fixed passing score for the CCNA 200-301 exam, and passing scores are subject to change without notice. Aim to be consistently strong across all six domains rather than targeting a number.

What domains does the CCNA 200-301 exam cover?

The CCNA 200-301 v1.1 exam topics cover six domains: Network Fundamentals (20%), Network Access (20%), IP Connectivity (25%), IP Services (10%), Security Fundamentals (15%), and Automation and Programmability (10%).

Does this test cover the new CCNA 200-301 v2.0 exam?

Not yet. Cisco announced CCNA 200-301 v2.0 on May 20, 2026, with new domains including AI. It becomes the live exam on February 3, 2027, and the v1.1 exam topics retire on February 2, 2027. This practice test follows v1.1, which is the version you will sit until that date.

How hard is the CCNA exam?

CCNA is an associate-level exam that expects hands-on skills such as subnetting, VLAN and routing configuration, and troubleshooting. Cisco recommends about one year of experience with Cisco networking, and steady practice makes it very achievable.

How should you prepare for the CCNA exam?

Work through the official 200-301 v1.1 exam topics, get hands-on practice with subnetting and device configuration, and use practice questions to find weak domains. For a structured path, our accelerated CCNA Boot Camp covers every exam topic with an exam voucher included.
