More importantly than that, do you have ANY experience with NOS(Unix, NT,
NetWare, Banyon), that you can leverage in your studies? Meaning this, if
you have worked with say, NetWare for fours years, you should already be
familiar to a certain degree the OSI model, and basic internetworking etc.
If you that type of experience it will serve to help you in your pursuit of
Cisco Certs. On the other hand if you have no experience at all in IT,
starting on the infrastructure/WAN side of the house may not be the best
path to follow because your understanding of the big picture will be
limited. Like Dennis said, find a good starter book and move through, but
remember to take your time!
Good Luck,
Will
