CCNA : Exam Information







CCNA Training series

Exam Information 

640 – 802 CCNA New Exam Syllabus

640-802 CCNA® EXAM

You can achieve CCNA certification in two ways:
  • Pass the CCNA-640-802 exam.
  • Pass both the ICNDv1 (640-822) and ICNDv2 (640-816) exams.
·         The CCNA 640-802 exam includes the same topics covered by the ICNDv1 640-822 and ICNDv2 640-816 exams. Cisco developed the second approach particularly for individuals who are just beginning their journey into networking, especially for people taking the CCNA curriculum at a Cisco Network Academy. The two-test approach is better suited for this environment since it takes a year to two to go through Cisco’s CCNA curriculum at the Network Academies. With this approach, you take the ICNDv1 640-822 exam halfway through the curriculum and the ICNDv2 640-816 exam at the end of the curriculum.
·         Another advantage of taking and passing the ICNDv1 exam is that you have achieved Cisco’s newest entry-level certification: CCENT (Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician). In August 2007, Cisco introduced this certification based on customer and employer demand for a lower level certification demonstrating basic networking and hand-on skills with IOS devices such as routers and switches. If you already have networking experience, especially if that experience includes configuring Cisco devices, you are better off taking the single CCNA 640-802 exam. The main advantage of this approach is that you have to pay for only one exam.
·         This CCNA Free Study Guides series are primarily written for those individuals wishing to pass the CCNA 640-802 exam. However, this free series contains all the information that you would need to pass both the ICNDv1 640-822 and ICNDv2 640-816 exams. Therefore, it is up to you to determine which testing approach you take to achieve your CCNA certification.

    I notice your title, "Blogger: Learn Information Security Tips n Tricks Free " does appear to be spot on with what
    your website is about however, I prefer to keep my title less content descriptive and
    based more around site branding. Would you think this is a good idea or

  29. If you plan your own motorcycle holiday with a group
    of friends, this system should permit you to be able to stay in touch, over a
    distance of a mile, in most all types of weather. It can happen to be a dual cradle for both
    two way radios, or maybe a single holder for while each that
    will be used in the event generally the radios are apart.
    Considering you prepare a motorcycle holiday with a website of acquaintances,
    these are the areas method need to permit you to stay in touch, more than a range of a mile, within all sorts of climate.
