What is Cisco Certified Network Associate?
Die Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) -Zertifizierung ist die zweite Stufe des fünfstufigen Karriere-Zertifizierungsprozesses von Cisco. Eine CCNA-Zertifizierung bescheinigt einem Techniker die Installation, Einrichtung, Konfiguration, Fehlerbehebung und den business eines mittelgroßen gerouteten und geschalteten Computernetzwerks. Dazu gehört auch das Implementieren und Überprüfen von Verbindungen zu einem Wide Area Network (WAN).
You can earn three-year CCNA certification if you pass Cisco Exam # 640-802 or take two additional exams that exceed the score: ICND1 No.640-822 and ICND2 No.640-816.
Curriculum topics include the use of Frame Relay, Routing Information Protocol (Version 2), Internet Protocol, Advanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol, Virtual Local Area Networks, Access Control Lists, and Ethernet.
All CCNA certified individuals specialize in one of seven technology paths:
- routing and switching
- Design
- network security
- service providers
- storage networks
- Voice
- Wireless.
Colleges and universities that offer Cisco training are considered members of the Cisco Networking Academy. All specialist certifications are valid for two years. Recertification requires a higher exam or retake of the previous exam as determined by Cisco.
