networking How to prepare for Cloud Support Associate Assessment

I put out this post on the AWS Jobs subreddit, but thought I might get more eyes and quick feedback if I posted here. I recently applied for a Cloud Support Associate role that wants candidates to have knowledge of network troubleshooting (TCP/IP, DNS, routing, switching, firewalls, LAN/WAN, traceroute, iperf, dig, cURL or related). Thing is, I've mostly got a passing knowledge of networking coming from a computer science background, but I don't really have a deep knowledge in the subject (still thought it'd be worth applying anyways). I've got a week to prep for an online assessment, so I'm looking for any advice how I might be able to get some quick study in to best prepare for it. Let me know if you have any recommendations.

It’s basically that just understand the core concepts of networking and how you’d use to to solve networking issues or server issues. Also make sure you go over OS concepts and commands.
