Alright, the CCNA, the 640-802 exam, 90 minutes, 45 - 55 questions. To pass it you need to get... wait, that can't be right... they don't tell you! I'm seeing reports of 845/1000 and 825/1000, however as each question is weighed differently depending on difficulty, it's pretty hard to figure out exactly what's required. I guess I'll have to aim pretty high!
The topics according to cisco.com are:
- Describe how a network works
- Configure, verify and troubleshoot a switch with VLANs and interswitch communications
- Implement an IP addressing scheme and IP Services to meet network requirements in a medium-size Enterprise branch office network
- Configure, verify, and troubleshoot basic router operation and routing on Cisco devices
- Explain and select the appropriate administrative tasks required for a WLAN
- Identify security threats to a network and describe general methods to mitigate those threats
- Implement, verify, and troubleshoot NAT and ACLs in a medium-size Enterprise branch office network
- Implement and verify WAN links
which all seem quite fair really. I'm looking forward to sinking my teeth into this (read getting it over with). I'll be starting with the Trainsignal videos tomorrow and hopefully they'll match up well.
