Study for CCNA, am I good to go for Net +?
I have a firm understanding of the material for the CCNA, but that is the only thing that I have been studying for. I have no prior network experience and am looking to build up some certs for employment.
My question is, will I be prepared for Net + if the only material that I have been pounding on is the CCNA stuff?
Or should I get an overview book on net +, such as sybex or something similar?
Thanks

harsh but i think true. The parts that don't overlap might get you. Don't go in cold hit the library and go over the objectives at the least.
Be prepared for some lengthy questions also, I had proxies and omnidirectional antennae!! CCNA was always subnetting/TCP/IP and Network+ was OSI/TCP/IP, not one subnetting question in the Network+ but that was just my experience.
Novell (IPX/SPX)
Wireless (Standards, AP's, Antenae, etc.)
NetBEUI, AppleTalk
Fiber
Probably more.
Way back, when I got my CCNA, IPX/SPX, AppleTalk, NetBEUI/NetBIOS, TokenRing, etc. were part of the exam. Wireless hadn't broken onto the scene, yet.
The CCNA exam actually got pretty deep into IPX/SPX and AppleTalk. I don't really remember seeing the other stuff on the exam, but I found some notes and study material from when I took the exam. We configured and ran IPX and AppleTalk over ethernet.
Unfortunately, I gave away most of my stuff on the CCNA years ago. I wish now that I had kept it.
