Why build your own CCNA deck

Most CCNA candidates already have a folder of Cisco slides, lab write-ups and textbook PDFs, and a ready-made deck rarely matches what their course actually covers. A CCNA Anki deck built from that exact material keeps the cards aligned with your exam blueprint and your instructor's wording.

Works with Cisco slides, PDF chapters, DOCX notes and photos of whiteboard diagrams
Covers subnetting, OSI and TCP/IP layers, routing protocols, ACLs and port numbers from your own sources
Spaced repetition schedules reviews so weak cards return more often
Anki export is included on Plus at $39/year or $7.99/month

Example CCNA Anki deck flashcards

Which OSI layer handles logical addressing and routing?Layer 3, the network layer, which uses IP addresses to move packets between networks.

What is the default administrative distance of OSPF?110. When several routing sources offer the same prefix, the lowest administrative distance is preferred.

How many usable hosts are in a /27 subnet?30, because 2 to the power of 5 gives 32 addresses, minus the network and broadcast addresses.

What TCP port does SSH use by default?Port 22, which is why it is often a target for scanning and brute-force attempts.

How do standard and extended ACLs differ?Standard ACLs filter on source address only, while extended ACLs can filter on source, destination, protocol and port.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, PowerPoint slides, DOCX files, plain notes or photos of pages. Each card comes from the content you are actually studying.

Spaced repetition

Cards are scheduled so the subnetting rules and routing details you miss come back sooner, while the ones you know fade into review less often.

Anki export on Plus

Plus exports your deck for Anki, along with PDF, DOCX and CSV. The free plan keeps studying in the browser.

How it works

Upload your CCNA material

Add slides, chapter PDFs, notes or photos of a whiteboard. No credit card is needed to start.

Generate and review the cards

Get flashcards in one pass. Remove anything that is off-topic or edit a card before you start studying.

Study in the browser or export to Anki

Study with spaced repetition on the web, or move the deck into Anki on a Plus plan.

Good CCNA cards are short and specific: one port number, one state, one formula, or one rule per side. Splitting the deck by topic, such as subnetting, OSI layers, routing protocols and ACLs, makes it easier to spot weak areas and study them in focused sessions.

Once the deck exists, spaced repetition does the scheduling. You review a few minutes a day, rate how hard each card felt, and let the intervals grow for what you already know.

Frequently asked questions

How many cards should a CCNA Anki deck have?

There is no fixed number. A deck built from one chapter may have a few dozen cards, while a full course can produce several hundred. Splitting the deck by topic usually works better than one large pile.

Which CCNA topics work best as flashcards?

Facts with a clear answer work best, such as port numbers, administrative distance values, OSI layer functions and subnet calculations. Longer topics like full routing design are better studied with mind maps or quizzes.

Can I export my CCNA deck to Anki?

Yes, but Anki export is a Plus feature at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan gives you 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser. Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV require Plus or Pro.
