New CCNA 640-802 Certification

Recently, Cisco introduced a new entry-level certification and announced the updates to the popular CCNA certification. The CCENT (Cisco Certified Entry Network Technician) will provide a new point of entry to those who wants to start a career in networking. The CCENT's exam requirement will be ICND1 640-822 and the recommended course for that is ICND Part 1.

At the same time, CCNA has been revised to include a broader scope of networking topics and will be more focused on performance-based skills. CCENT will not be a prerequisite to the new CCNA level. The exam requirements will be CCNA 640-802 or ICND1 640-822 and ICND2 640-816. Examinees for the old CCNA 640-801 still has the chance to take the exam until November 6, 2007. The new curricula will be available worldwide on July 26, 2007 and exams will be initially released on August 1, 2007. For more informaton, visit www.cisco.com

My very own Cisco blog...

Hi all! I've just passed my CCNA 640-801 exam with a rating of 987/1000. And I'm very proud of it hence this blog. This is my second CCNA exam, the first was the 640-507 which I can say was much different from this. The topics here are more geared to Implementation, Routing and Troubleshooting whereas back then are more concentrated to foundations like the OSI layer. The simulations are also much tougher on this exam. One must know the commands by heart, the various show commands specially and also access-lists commands.

I want to share to everyone some of what I've learned while studying for the exam, some tips about networking specifically Cisco, again hence the title. And if I encounter some more along the way, I'll be glad enough to publish it here. Thanks, hope everyone who'll visit this site will benefit from it and that I hope I could help my fellow CCNA wannabees out there...
