What does the N10-009 exam cover

Networking Concepts (23%) +
This domain covers the OSI model, TCP/IP stack, common ports and protocols, IP addressing and subnetting for both IPv4 and IPv6, DNS, DHCP, NAT, and cloud connectivity fundamentals. It also introduces network virtualization concepts and software-defined networking. As one of the two highest-weighted domains on the exam, a strong grasp of networking theory here directly supports your performance across all remaining sections.
Network Implementation (20%) +
This domain focuses on deploying and configuring network devices and technologies, including routers, switches, wireless access points, and VLANs. Topics include switching features such as STP, link aggregation, and port security, as well as wireless standards, channel configuration, and antenna placement. Routing protocols including OSPF, BGP, and static routing are also covered in the context of real-world network design.
Network Operations (19%) +
This domain covers the tools and processes used to monitor, manage, and maintain a healthy network environment. You will work with documentation standards, network diagrams, change management procedures, and high availability and disaster recovery concepts. Topics also include performance metrics, SNMP, syslog, and the use of monitoring tools to detect and respond to network issues before they impact users.
Network Security (14%) +
This domain addresses how to protect network infrastructure from attack and unauthorized access. You will study common attack types including DoS, MITM, and spoofing, along with security protocols such as TLS, IPsec, and 802.1X. The domain also covers network hardening techniques, firewall placement, IDS/IPS deployment, and secure remote access using VPNs.
Network Troubleshooting (24%) +
The highest-weighted domain on the exam, this section tests your ability to diagnose and resolve issues across cable infrastructure, switching, routing, wireless, and network security. You will apply a structured troubleshooting methodology to real-world scenarios and work with tools including ping, traceroute, netstat, nslookup, and Wireshark. The 22 hours of Practice Labs in this training are directly aligned with the practical skills tested in this domain.

Where can Network+ take your career

Career paths and next certifications after Network+ +
CompTIA Network+ is approved under DoD Directive 8140 for IAT Level I roles, making it a required or preferred credential for government, defense, and federal IT positions across the United States and for contractors operating within the DoD supply chain. After Network+, many professionals progress toward CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 to add cybersecurity credentials to their networking foundation and qualify for DoD IAT Level II roles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Network+ harder than CompTIA A+ and what is the difference +
CompTIA A+ focuses on hardware, operating systems, and entry-level IT support tasks. Network+ is focused entirely on networking concepts, protocols, and infrastructure management and is generally considered the next step up. Network+ requires a deeper understanding of IP addressing, routing, switching, and network security, and it includes performance-based questions that test practical skills in addition to knowledge recall. Most candidates with A+ experience or equivalent IT support background find it a natural progression.
Is CompTIA Network+ approved by the DoD +
Yes. CompTIA Network+ is approved under DoD Directive 8140 (formerly 8570.01-M) for IAT Level I roles. This makes it a required or recommended credential for a wide range of government and defense IT positions in the United States, including contractors working within the DoD supply chain. For professionals targeting federal IT careers or military-adjacent roles, Network+ is a well-recognized and practical starting credential.
How long does it take to prepare for the N10-009 exam +
Most candidates spend four to eight weeks preparing, depending on their existing networking experience. This training provides 30+ hours of structured e-learning and 22 hours of Practice Labs that together cover the full exam domain scope. Candidates with prior IT support or networking experience may progress more quickly, while those starting from a general IT background should plan additional time for subnetting, routing concepts, and the performance-based lab questions on the exam.
Is the exam voucher included and how do I register for the exam +
The exam voucher is not included in this training. The exam is administered globally by Pearson VUE, either at an authorized testing center or via online proctoring. Once your preparation is complete, you register and purchase your exam voucher directly through the official certification or Pearson VUE website.
Can my team or organization get certified together +
Yes. DiviTrain offers volume licensing for teams and organizations looking to upskill at scale. Whether you are certifying a small IT team or rolling out training across departments, our corporate solutions provide flexible access and invoicing options. Visit our For Teams page to learn more.
