800-150 FLDTEC: Supporting Cisco Devices for Field Technicians Study Guide

The Cisco 800-150 FLDTEC certification equips field technicians with essential skills for supporting, maintaining, and troubleshooting Cisco networking devices in real-world environments. This comprehensive guide covers all foundational topics required to excel in the exam and practical fieldwork, starting with an overview of Cisco’s device families and hardware platforms, enabling technicians to accurately identify and handle various models and configurations.

A strong emphasis is placed on equipment handling best practices, including safety guidelines, electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions, proper unboxing procedures, rack mounting, and cable management to ensure hardware longevity and operational reliability. The guide also explains basic networking concepts like IP addressing, subnetting, OSI layers, and key protocols such as Ethernet, TCP/IP, DHCP, and DNS to help technicians understand device communication and network integration.

Technicians learn how to access Cisco devices via console and auxiliary ports, utilize terminal emulators for configuration, perform initial device setup, and recover passwords, along with a detailed understanding of the IOS boot process. Hardware diagnostics, interpreting LED indicators, troubleshooting power and fan issues, and replacing field replaceable units (FRUs) are thoroughly covered to enhance problem-solving skills on-site.

Software and firmware management topics include IOS version identification, upgrades using TFTP/FTP, configuration backup and restoration, and recovery methods using ROMMON. The guide also explores critical tools and Cisco support resources such as TAC, RMA processes, and documentation navigation.
