Networking Infrastructures

OSI model, TCP/IP, routing, switching, wireless, and network security fundamentals.

About this event

Networking Infrastructures covers computer networking at roughly a CompTIA Network+ level. Topics include the OSI and TCP/IP models, IP addressing and subnetting, routing and switching, wireless standards, network topologies and cabling, common protocols (DNS, DHCP, HTTP), and network security basics. Subnetting and protocol knowledge tend to separate top scorers, and the material overlaps heavily with Cyber Security.

Test day

What to expect

60 minutes, 100 questions

You have 60 minutes to answer 100 multiple-choice questions. Each question has four options (A, B, C, D) with exactly one correct answer. There is no penalty for wrong answers -- always fill in your best guess.

Computer-graded, instant results

Tests are machine-scored. Questions are drawn from the official FBLA topic outline for this event, distributed proportionally across all topic areas. Expect a mix of recall (definitions, formulas), application (scenario-based), and analysis questions.

Top scorers advance

The highest-scoring competitors at each regional advance to the state competition. State winners compete at the National Leadership Conference (NLC). Study the official FBLA topic outline -- it lists the exact subject areas and their approximate weight on the test.
