ExamNotes' overview of Cisco certifications |
|
As the Internet grows and Cisco routers are becoming the top choice
of ISPs, Cisco certifications are gaining the popularity.
The entry level Cisco certification is CCNA - Cisco certified network
associate. ( exam #640-507)
The CCNA exam is a 75 minutes exam and consists of 65 questions. Passing
score is 849, which means you need to get at least 54 question right in
order to pass.
The next level is CCNP - Cisco certified network professional
At the top of the Cisco certification is a CCIE - Cisco certified
internetworking expert.
You can become a CCIE in one or all of four areas: Routing &
Switching, WAN Switching, ISP–Dial or SNA/IP Integration.
There are 2 different CCNP certification tracks. Both require to pass
CCNA exam, and the difference is in the elective exams. Both CCNP track
include the "Support exam" (exam #640-506)
Unlike the MCSE certification, CCIE also requires you to pass a
hands-on lab exam. The Routing and Switching CCIE lab test is a two day
practical exam. The first day of the lab exam is installation and the
second day is troubleshooting.
In the troubleshooting lab exam the candidate is required to
recognize, diagnose, and resolve faults that have been inserted into an
internetworks by the lab engineer.
Each configuration scenario and problem has pre-assigned point
values. The candidate must obtain a minimum mark of 80% to pass.
CCIEs are recognized throughout the internetworking industry as
highly qualified professionals whose expertise has been tested and
validated both by passing a written examination and a rigorous, two-day
hands-on lab examination.

I highly recommend having some hands-on experience with IOS
commands before attempting any of the Cisco exams.
If you don't have access to Cisco router, the next best thing is to
get Router Simulator software. Below are 2 best-selling Router
simulation packages: The first is "Virsual lab e-trainer"
The second is a study kit that includes the "Virtual lab
e-trainer" and a study guide by Todd Lammle.
