Why build your own CCNA deck

CCNA prep covers a lot of ground: subnetting math, OSPF administrative distances, port numbers, and the OSI and TCP/IP layers. Ready-made decks may not match what your instructor taught, so DeckOwl builds Cisco CCNA flashcards from the material you already have.

  • Flashcards generated from your own course slides, PDFs and notes
  • Spaced repetition so weak topics like subnetting get more review
  • Quizzes with explanations to test understanding, not only recall
  • Free plan to start, with no credit card needed
Example Cisco CCNA flashcards
What are the four layers of the TCP/IP model?Application, Transport, Internet, and Network Access (also called link layer).
Which OSI layer handles logical addressing and routing?Layer 3, the Network layer, which uses IP addresses to route packets between networks.
What is the default administrative distance of OSPF?110. When several routing sources offer the same destination, the lower administrative distance is preferred.
How many usable host addresses are in a /26 subnet?62, because 2^6 gives 64 addresses and the network and broadcast addresses are not assigned to hosts.
What port does SSH use by default?TCP port 22, which encrypts remote login sessions, while Telnet uses TCP port 23 in plain text.

Any source you already have

Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text or photos of pages. Images are read with text recognition, so handwritten-free printed notes work well.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner, and the ones you know fade into longer intervals, so your review time goes to the networking facts you still need.

Quizzes and mind maps too

Switch to multiple choice, true/false or short answer questions with explanations, or map how OSPF, EIGRP and RIP relate.

How it works

Upload your CCNA material

Add a PDF of your course chapter, a PPTX of lecture slides, or a few photos of your notes.

Review the generated cards

Check the flashcards, edit anything that looks off, and keep only the facts your course covers.

Study on a spaced schedule

Review in the browser each day. Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export if you want to study elsewhere.

Each card follows a spaced repetition schedule, so the facts you keep missing come back more often than the ones you have locked in. You can study in the browser on the free plan, and exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are included with Plus.

Pair the flashcards with practice quizzes to check whether you can explain why an answer is right, not just recognize it. That gap is where many CCNA candidates lose points on exam day.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for the CCNA exam?

There is no fixed number, but many learners keep one topic per deck, such as subnetting or routing protocols. Shorter decks you review daily often work better than one large deck you rarely open.

What CCNA topics work best as flashcards?

Fact-based items such as port numbers, OSI and TCP/IP layers, routing protocol administrative distances, and subnetting formulas are easy to drill in short reviews. Concepts like STP election or OSPF adjacency states are better practiced with quizzes that ask why.

Is DeckOwl free for Cisco CCNA flashcards?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start. Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are paid features on Plus.

Can I export my CCNA flashcards to Anki?

Yes, Anki export is included with Plus, which costs $39/year or $7.99/month. Students get 40% off with a school email.
