Am I correct? The analog Cisco cert ist "CCNA Routing and Switching"?

Several of these topics seem to be CCNA level topics, but a lot more so the Data Center track, and NX-OS functionality. Like IOS does not have native support for python for example. Monitoring tools is not a topic covered until later in the Cisco exams. Since Arista's EOS is more geared towards the SDN side, there looks to be additional topics you won't find anywhere in the Cisco documentation. Have fun.
