CCNA V2 Updates

By Tom Marshall


Just what should you understand about the recent changes as well as the new CCNA curriculum? Well there's a good deal! Let's start with some why Cisco made the modifications for the CCNA v2. exam. In the event you have a look at Cisco's approach to their certification track within the last few years, it isn't whatsoever surprising these changes happened within the CCNA R&S 200-120 exam. Beginning while using premier CCIE certification track Cisco has received that track separated into multiple areas for instance CCIE R&S, CCIE Voice, CCIE Security, CCIE Wireless and CCIE Storage among others for just about any few years. Then formerly 18 several days Cisco needed the identical approach utilizing their CCNP track. Permitting the CCNP R&S, CCNP Voice, CCNP Security, CCNP Wireless certifications while others also. Now we reach the CCNA track and they have had CCNA Voice and CCNA Security for approximately 18 several days as specific disciplines. How you can complete the restructure, they have formally introduced the CCNA certification inline by renaming it CCNA 2. R&S.

Since Cisco gets the various certifications well-organized, they still required to have tweaks for the CCNA 2. Routing & Switching exam. In the event you recall, for just about any few years the ICND1 exam which might allow you to get the CCENT certification. It had been for candidates that preferred to interrupt their CCNA exam experience into two nights to maybe transform it into a little simpler on their own account. Typically, the CCENT certification held almost no prestige on the market and lots of affiliate marketers were not considered genuine unless of course obviously they accomplished the CCNA certification. Well when Cisco up-to-date the CCNA 2. certification, furthermore they up-to-date the CCENT certification while using ICND1 100-101 exam. Basically what Cisco did was take 80% in the old CCNA exam and drop it to the ICND1 100-101 exam which causes it to be much, harder! Furthermore they provided the CCENT certification a prerequisite for your other CCNA advanced disciplines for instance CCNA Voice, CCNA Security, CCNA Wireless or CCNA Company. Nonetheless, they still supply you with the selection of taking a single exam to give the CCENT and CCNA Routing & Switching certification in one via exam 200-120. So let's take a look within the exam options below along with what each will allow you to get.

CCENT Exam Needs

ICND1 100-101 Exam

or

CCNA v2. 200-120 Exam

Passing this single composite exam will even provide you with your CCNA v 2. Routing & Switching certification.

As stated formerly, the ICND1 100-101 exam for your CCENT certification got a good deal harder. The majority of the CCNA concepts are really some the core from the exam. Because of this a CCNA v2 Lab is really required for the ICND1 exam to get the hands-on you need to pass test. So let's review what changes Cisco made to the ICND1 exam and why.

Removed the ICND1 100-101 Exam

RIP, SDM, Wireless, Understanding Challenges of Shared LANs, Obtaining the Network

Put into the ICND1 100-101 Exam

VLSM, NAT/PAT, ACLs, VLANs and Trunking, Inter-VLAN Routing, Single Area OSPF, IPv6 Basic principles, IPv6 Theory, IPv6 Configuration

So that you can see Cisco added a great deal towards the ICND1 CCENT exam. Particularly it appears like Cisco feels IPv6 is not going anywhere soon and you should know it inside and outside. That's why we've 7 distinct IPv6 labs covering from IPv6 Link Local Addressing to IPv6 over Frame-Relay with OSPFv3. Given each one of these changes, you can observe why Cisco has become making the CCENT certification essential for the advanced CCNA certifications for example CCNA Security, CCNA Voice, CCNA Wireless and CCNA SP. Because it offers the student with the proper foundation to construct their networking abilities.

Above we seen what subjects were added and removed particularly for the ICND1 part of the exam. The relaxation from the items will be the changes for the ICND2 200-101 exam which is the 2nd exam you'd decide to use obtain your CCNA v2 certification. It must go without needing to say, however will express it anyway if you're planning to simply accept single CCNA 200-120. it'll now consist of all the up-to-date concepts of both ICND1 and ICND2 exams.

Removed the ICND2 Exam

Inter-VLAN Routing, Obtaining the Network, VLSM, NAT/PAT

So you'll see Cisco stuff that IPv6 is most likely not going anywhere soon so you will find new IPv6 concepts covered. Also, if you're acquainted with the CCNP Routing and Switching track, you will be aware we have an exam known as TSHOOT that deals strictly with troubleshooting.

Understanding STP, Etherchannel, Layer 3 Redundancy Techniques, Cisco Licensing, SNMP, Syslog, Netflow, Controlling Cisco Devices, Troubleshooting VLANs, Troubleshooting EIGRP, Troubleshooting IPv4 Network Connectivity, Troubleshooting IPv6 Network Connectivity, EIGRP for IPv6, Multi-Area OSPF, OSPFv3

This is when our new CCNA v2 Routing & Switching 200-120 Lab Workbook performs exceptionally well! We've added a lot of troubleshooting, EtherChannel, Certification, IPv6, OSPFv3, Syslog, NetFlow and much more labs covering over 400 pages. With the changes towards the CCNA v2 exam, I believe Cisco went a lengthy method to removing the paper CCNAs and you will have to possess the right complimentary study materials to secure your brand-new CCNA R&S certification!
