After CCNA - quick recert?

Jas21

Hi guys

I'm sure this has been asked a thousand times, but I wonder what your thoughts are on quickest/easiest exam to re-certify CCNA with is?

I'm looking at CCNA Security 210-260 but then started to think maybe just start on CCNP and maybe go with 300-115 Switch first?

Has anyone got any experience of doing either and preferences why?

I have until Sept 2016 and will only be self study - OCG and maybe CBT Nuggets - and probably GNS3 or similar

Thanks in advance

I just recertified with the 210-260 exam. Ironically, I found it easier than passing the CCENT/CCNA exams.

Hi - thanks - did you use any equipment for labs, or virtual? Any other resources you would recommend?

I probably spent the most time playing with ASAs. We have them at work and I was lucky enough to have a 5505 to play with prior to the test. I also did the following:

• Read the OCG via Safari Professional. Here is the link to it on Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/CCNA-Security-210-260-Official-Guide/dp/1587205661
• Went through Skillsets training on it.
• I also attended the Cisco IINS 3.0 training from Global Knowledge

I think you will find this article helpful as well:
