To start the career in Cisco / Networking.. CCNA is the base. 1. CCNA(Cisco Certified Network Associate) can be written as a single exam or can be split into two. ICND 1(CCENT) and ICND 2. after completing ICND 2. the CCNA is achieved. 2. The cost for every exam in cisco world wont be less than 12,000. (Depends upon dollar rate). 3. Most of the questions will be logical and situation based. there will be atleast 2 simulation based questions. 4. Practice.. practice.. a lot. on routers. Do NOT mug-up the commands without practicing them. 5. To try hands-on the routers. there are three choices-
- Buy your own router.. checkout the used cisco routers prices on ebay.. - Join some training center. In Chennai Sams Bound is the best. - Download GNS3 and simulate the routers. see.. http://gns3.net/ - The best way.. Lots of books are available on CCNA.. I would recommend 'Tod Lammle' Sybex publication. I would recommend self-study using the sybex book.. and practicing them using GNS3. http://geexhq.com/simulating-network-labs-using-gns3-and-vmware-on-your-pc/ Check out the cisco Professional demands and salary offered here.. http://www.indeed.com/salary? -- http://geexhq.com/ _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
