The labs assume these basics. If they are new to you, finish the linked module first and come back.

Networking basics: IP addressing, VLANs and routing
Every click in the dashboard changes a VLAN, a route, a firewall rule or a tunnel. Know subnets, trunks, DHCP and NAT first (CCNA-level basics are enough). Linked modules keep their own access and progress and are not part of this track purchase.

Cloud-managed networking track exam

Finish the track, pass this exam, and earn a certificate anyone can verify.

Your lab progress, attempts and certificate are saved to your account.

Read this before you start

Pass mark 80%. Score it or better and your certificate and badge are issued the moment you submit.
One more chance. If you do not pass, you can retake it straight away. That is 2 attempts in total.
15-day cooldown. If the second attempt also falls short, the exam closes for 15 days. Then you get 2 fresh attempts.
1 minute per question plus lab time. The timer never pauses.
It runs in fullscreen. Switching tabs or leaving fullscreen is a warning; on warning 3 the exam stops and is scored as it stands, and a stopped exam cannot earn the certificate.
Every attempt counts from the moment it starts, so close other tabs first.

Each live lab is worth 5 points of the total score.
