A question I consistently get from my CCNA students when I teach a Cisco networking associate certification class is: What will I be expected to do in a new position working with computer networks.

Completion of the CCNA exam gives you a credential, but it doesn??t give you experience. While you do get lots of book learning and some hands-on troubleshooting as you prepare for an exam, you will have a much better idea of what to expect to face in a new network administrator position if you have had some real-world experience.

In fact, I tell my students that they should try to get as much hands-on experience with Cisco routers and switches as possible before considering a job in networking, and it really does help in preparing for the exam.

Students expecting to break into the networking gig once they pass their CCNA should also be prepared to encounter challenges in security, a fundamental area of networking. Additionally, network administrators are more likely now to address issues in two newer technology areas: wireless and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) Knowledge in these three areas is critical if you want to stand out among other job applicants and hit the ground running in a new job.

On the wireless front, understanding the 640-802.11 specification is key?Cthe differences between 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g and 640-802.11n protocols. While there??s a chapter dedicated to wireless in the CCNA prep books, getting a solid understanding of these technologies will help you in any networking job, especially since wireless and networking go hand in hand at many companies.

VoIP is another technology area that you should understand pretty well for a new networking job. Phone systems aren??t what they used to be. Now phones are part of the network and integrate with data as a critical part of any business. Understanding VoIP before you get there will make a new networking job that much easier. Understanding Cisco??s VoIP and unified communications offerings will definitely give you an advantage.

Security is more critical than ever! The more you know, the better. Preparing for the CCNA, you will learn the basics of password and general security processes; on the job, you??ll be expected to understand security at a significantly deeper level??particularly if the organization you join has regulatory compliance requirements or is a target for hacking, for example. The U.S. government, for instance, has to deal with over 3 million hacker attacks per day. While you may not work for an organization that has to deal with this kind of onslaught, you will likely still be expected to take the necessary measures to secure the company??s network and data assets. Cisco has some excellent resources to help you; check out this site for other study materials and supplemental info.

These are just a few of the topics that you??ll be expected to know on top of the CCNA basics. I??ll talk about these things in greater detail in my next few posts. Until then, do your best!

Cisco career certifications and specialist qualifications are your path to further your professional opportunities.

The CCIE Routing and Switching written exam, as of the time of publication, consists of a two-hour exam administered at a proctored exam facility affiliated with Pearson VUE (http://www.vue.com/cisco). The exam typically includes approximately 100 multiple-choice questions. No simulation questions are currently part of the written exam.

As with most exams, everyone wants to know what is on the 350-001 exam. Cisco provides general guidance as to topics on the exam in the CCIE Routing and Switching written exam blueprint, the most recent copy of which can be accessed from http://www.cisco.com/go/ccie.

Cisco changes both the CCIE written and lab blueprints over time, but Cisco seldom, if ever, changes the exam numbers. (Cisco changes the exam numbers of the associate- and professional-level certifications when it makes major changes to what is covered on those exams.) When Cisco changes the blueprint, the authors will add content to cover the new topics at http://www.ciscopress.com/title/9781587201967.

The blueprint tells you what major topics to study and by implication, what not to study. However, he blueprint does not provide many details about the scope and depth covered for each topic. As you prepare for the written exam, it is a good idea to study more details than you think you need to pass the exam, because the lab exam is considerably more rigorous than the written exam.

Fortunately, Certay offers free demo for 350-001 exam. You can check out the interface, question quality and usability of our practice exams before you decide to buy it. We are the only one site can offer demo for almost all products.

The Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI 642-901) is a qualifying exam for the Cisco Certified Network Professional CCNP, Cisco Certified Design Professional CCDP, and Cisco Certified Internetwork Professional CCIP certifications. The BSCI 642-901 exam will certify that the successful candidate has important knowledge and skills necessary to use advanced IP addressing and routing in implementing scalability for Cisco ISR routers connected to LANs and WANs. The exam covers topics on Advanced IP Addressing, Routing Principles, Multicast Routing, IPv6, Manipulating Routing Updates, Configuring basic BGP, Configuring EIGRP, OSPF, and IS-IS.

When you choose to pursue your Cisco Certified Network Professional certification, you've got some decisions to make right at the beginning. Cisco offers a three-exam path and a four-exam path, and you select the order in which you'll take and pass the exams.

While every CCNP candidate has to make their own decision, I'd like to share some thoughts based on my personal experience and the experiences of CCNPs worldwide.

The solid foundation of networking knowledge you built as a CCNP will help you a great deal on your BSCI (Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks, 642-901) exam. This is the most common exam to take first, and I'd recommend you do so as well. While there are some topics that will be new to you, such as BGP, many of the BSCI topics will be familiar to you from your CCNP studies.

The "middle" exams are the BCMSN (Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks, 642-812) and ISCW (Implementing Secure Converged Wide Area Networks, 642-825). There is no real advantage in taking one of these before the other, although most candidates take the switching exam, then the remote access exam.

I do recommend you take the ONT (Optimizing Converged Cisco Networks, 642-845) exam last. This exam will demand you put into action the skills you have learned while earning your CCNP and passing the first three exams. Again, it's not written in stone and there are always exceptions, but CCNP candidates do seem to have more success on this exam when they take it last.

Should you choose the three-exam path, you'll be taking a Composite exam (642-892). This exam combines the BSCI and BCMSN exams, and it's best to take this one first. It builds nicely with your CCNP skills.

Again, I would take the ISCW exam after the Composite, and the ONT exam last.

Whichever path you choose, you've chosen wisely in which certification to pursue. The CCNP is a true test of your networking skills, and when you make the decision to go after the CCIE, you'll be glad to have the solid foundation of networking skills your CCNP and CCNP studies gave you.

I saw many of times here that people request here for dumps and confuse that how to start CCNA study? What is the best video training? etc. The main mission of sadikhov dat com isnt producing more and more braindumpers which already is happening here.Braindumper born in CCNA(all associate levels i mean CCDA etc) forums and then they create prob in CCNP(All professional levels i mean CCNP&CCSP etc) forums. So i decided to post a brief note on that.

It will be dedicated to all CISCO guys who are really studying and doing hardwork and have 0% relay on dumps. CCNA is very simple you just need to hang with me for few mints.

How to prepare CCNA?

There are 2 possibilities:

1. U already joined or looking for an institute.
or
2. U are self studying.

1. Regular CCNA study through institute :-

If you can afford and u find any well reputed and well equipped (with all necessary cisco devices) institute in your area then you should consider ur self lucky and take the admission ASAP. It is highly recommended way of study i suppose because you can work on real routers and switches and learn live through good teachers.

Note:- I already wasted my few months and money in 2 low level institutes so please while deciding institute ask the current/X students of that institute.

My own qout = = > ?±Read before the teacher teach.?±
Always try to study the topic which the teacher don??t teach you yet i mean next lecture.By this way you can ask more questions to teacher at real time beause u already knew the basics of that topic + this isn??t new for you and when teacher will teach you, your all doubts will be clear and i found it v v helpful for long life/better understand.

2. CCNA through self study :-

i) If you have a network background then u can start with CISCO press books but i recommend for fresh net workers to use sybex press because it is easy as compared to CISCO for beginners.
Note:- CCNA Curriculum 4 modules is highly recommended for making strong CISCO basics.If you belongs from span then you are lucky bcz a Spanish version is also available on sadikhov.

You should also study through video trainings bcz

a) These are made for whole world not for any specific institute/students.
b) You can take same lecture as many times as you want and at any suitable time when u have some free time for study.
c) Almost in all video trainings u can view live labs on live routers so it would also strong ur Lab knowledge.
d) Almost all are free on sadikhov so u need not worry to buy these.

Here is the list of recommended & all major video trainings provider companies.

1. [Train??signal] ICND1 & 2 <==== Recommended
2. Cisco press (CCNA video mentor)<===== Recommended
3. Cbtnuggets (640-802)<==== Recommended
4. knowledgenet
5. Testout
5. [learnskey]
6. Careeracademy
7. Globalknowledge

You can try only one or two types but i don??t recommend to use all of the above 7 mentioned. I personally like [Train??signal] and it is upon you that what you find better for you. There are 3 options to start study with these stuff.

a) books===>then videotraings.
b) Videotraining===>then books.
c) books + video trainings at same time.

Mr personal experience says that option b is better bcz as you go through 1 or 2 times with video training then you read book and you will feel that this book is very easy LOL. Anyway its upon you that what u like.

Related Exam: 640-822, 642-642, 642-812, 642-446, 640-553, 640-802.

Real world tip :-

My way of study is that i also convert them in audio mp3 form(by using Allok AVI-MPEG-WMV-RM-to-MP3-Converter) and listen while on bed, on driving or any relax time.But only for revision so these topics are easily sit in my mind forever.You can try it i hop it will be very helpfull.

2ndly many CCIE stuff provider companies are making audio boot camp for example Ipexprt dat com ,videoed dat com etc so this little habit also will help to you in future when you will enter in CCIE game.

Study Tips

1. Print out a copy of the exam blueprint from the Cisco website. Use this as the basis of your notes, and don't consider yourself ready for the exam until you are completely comfortable with ALL the topics on the list. The blueprint changes occasionally, but the current version can be found at: http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/le3/ccie/rs/wr_exam_blueprint_v3.html
2. Buy a few books. This seems simple enough, but I've found there are two types of books lists for the CCIE - those for the lab and those for the written. They're not the same. For our purposes here, there are two things we want to accomplish with our reading: to quickly get the written out of the way to start the long road to the lab; and to try as much as possible to conserve money and time by finding and reading materials that are applicable to both.
   Cisco.com has provide a book list, they can be found at: http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/le3/ccie/rs/book_list.html
3. Download sample exams. There are several available, including www.certay.com and www.exam4sure.com, but regardless of which vendor's questions you choose, take advantage of a significant pool of questions, and select products by different authors. The subject matter for this exam is broad, and you want a good selection of material to study from.

The CCNP certification (Cisco Certified Network Professional) is Cisco's professional-level networking certification. In order gain the CCNP certification, candidates must first gain the CCNA certification and then go on to pass up to four CCNP exams. Cisco offers two distinct paths for candidates pursuing the CCNP, one that requires 4 exams to be passed while the other requires three). The exams required are:

Path 1 (4 exams):

• 642-901 BSCI: Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI)
• 642-812 BCMSN: Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks (BCMSN)
• 642-825 ISCW: Implementing Secure Converged Wide Area Networks (ISCW)
• 642-845 ONT: Optimizing Converged Cisco Networks (ONT)

Or,

Path 2 (3 exams):

• 642-892 Composite: Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI) and Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks (BCMSN) - 120 minutes duration
• 642-825 ISCW: Implementing Secure Converged Wide Area Networks (ISCW)
• 642-845 ONT: Optimizing Converged Cisco Networks (ONT)

The difference between the two paths is that in path 2, the 642-892 exam is two exams combined (642-901 and 642-812).

Many people understand the value of the Cisco certifications in the industry and want to know where to start to obtain their Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) which:

?°The Cisco CCNA network associate certification validates the ability to install, configure, operate, and troubleshoot medium-size routed and switched networks, including implementation and verification of connections to remote sites in a WAN. This new curriculum includes basic mitigation of security threats, introduction to wireless networking concepts and terminology, and performance-based skills. This new curriculum also includes (but is not limited to) the use of these protocols: IP, Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), Serial Line Interface Protocol Frame Relay, Routing Information Protocol Version 2 (RIPv2),VLANs, Ethernet, access control lists (ACLs)?±

You can take one exam (640-802 CCNA) that is 90 Minutes and 50-60 questions.
-OR-
You can take two exams, The ICND Part I test (640-822) that is 90 Minutes and 50-60 questions as well as ICND Part II Test (640-816) that is 75 minutes and 45-55 questions.

I recommend taking the single test to save money and time. There is also a great preparation page located here: http://forums.cisco.com/eforum/servlet/PrepCenter?page=main

After you decide you want to take the test, there are a few steps people can take to ensure you follow through. The biggest hurdle for the CCNA exam is execution of taking and passing the exam, so these steps help ensure your success:

1. Commit to the exam and get the support of your family and friends.
2. Set a date for taking the test!!!
3. Create a study plan around that date with set milestones that allow you to cover all the material by your test date.
4. Use one solid study guide source (like an updated Cisco Press Book) to use and reference other sources when needed. There are so many sources out there, that you can easily get rat holed with deeper and deeper material. Using one will you help you stay on track and test your knowledge.
5. Make sure your material is for the updated CCNA test. There were previous versions.
6. Use some kind of practice test to gauge your progress.
7. Find some way to practice basic commands on gear (checking connectivity, cdp, nat, etc..things you see mentioned to ensure you can do them if you are given a hands on simulation.)
8. Make sure you are FAST at subnetting by hand. There are several quick and easy tables you can use to work on this and it just takes practice to get it down.
9. Look for a study group or buddy to go through this process with. It makes it easier.

I think those are some good guide lines to get started.
