What is a CCNA Certification
According to Cisco, “CCNA certification proves you have the basic skills to troubleshoot a network and configure a router or switch. Users can install, operate, and troubleshoot a small to medium-size enterprise branch network, including basic wireless networking. This certification also provides the foundation for professional-level certifications, such as CCNP, CCSP, and CCVP. Planned to assess advanced wireless, video, and security skills for job roles such as network manager, support engineer, supervisor, and installer. Candidates should possess at least six to nine months of networking experience. Verifying experience may require further documentation.”
It is possible to get the certification in three months after passing all three exams. Some people prefer to take one or two additional exams to fulfill emphasis on knowledge of selected technologies. Switchport technologies include VLAN, Spanning Tree Protocol, Fast EtherChannel, Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), PAT [Port Access/Trunking], AnyConnect VPN (IKEv2), Router Discovery Protocol (RSVP-TE), Routing Information Protocol (RIPv1/2/.). Validate your skills at configuring and troubleshooting Ethernet, FDDI, Token Ring, fiber optic/copper/DS3/DS4, wireless LANs, WAN technologies such as Ethernet over Ethernet (EoE), Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) [ISO 8802], Gig. Globally recognized and reputable Cisco certification which is also covered in our Cisco 100-105 Dumps. The CCNA certification will help you further your career as a network professional. It is the basic qualification for network technician and support engineers. It is ideal to have CCNA certification to get a job in any networking industry such as IT, telecommunication, etc. Feature of the certification includes network design, installation, and troubleshooting.
CCNA certification is a requirement for most networking jobs in the industry. CCNA certification will help you establish a foothold in the IT industry.
