Cisco®
Cisco Systems®, created CCNA® to improve the skills of professionals in home and small office networking. Today, CCNA® has become one of the most sought after network certifications. CCNA® can help you to land a better job in networking or to increase the salary in your current job.
CCNA® Basics
CCNA® emphasizes the technology and skills needed to work with networks of 100 nodes or fewer. It covers both IP and non-IP networks including IPX and AppleTalk.
The key networking technologies and concepts one must be familiar with to pass CCNA® include the following:
- the basic history of networking
- the OSI reference model and basic network design principles
- local- and wide-area networks (LANs and WANs) including Ethernet and VLANs
- IP addressing and TCP/IP protocols ARP, RARP, BOOTP, and ICMP
- routers and routing protocols, bridges, and switches
- Cisco IOS®
- network management and security
Becoming a CCNA®
The CCNA® exam lasts approximately two hours, and no prerequisite exams need to be completed first.
Approximately 80 percent of the questions must be answered correctly to pass the CCNA® test, so it is in the student's best interest to be fully prepared.
A CCNA® certification remains valid for three years, at which time an official recertification exam can be taken.
CCNA® Exam
Currently, you only have to pass one exam in order to achieve CCNA® status. This exam is the CCNA® 2.0 Exam Number 640-801.
Some people have commented that the CCNA® is a "bookish" exam. One need not have any hands-on experience with Cisco® routers, for example, in order to pass.
