What is your degree program? Or, what is your career path?
In general, when people say “Cisco” certs, they almost always mean CCNA, which is the associate level Cisco certification, and gives foundational network knowledge that is highly valuable and transferable to other IT and cyber fields.

Agreed on it being the CCNA. That is the definitive intro to cisco networking certs, especially in undergrad
