Hey everyone



I want to sign up for the new CCNA exam that starts in November but currently the only books I have are CISCO presses books for 640-801 By Steve McQuerry. My question is that will these books cover most of the material on the new exam? Or Did i waste my money back in april when i bought these books and I will have to buy entire book sets all over again?


Also what are the main differences between the new exam and the current exam thats ending in November?

    I think the new exams will cover more on OSPF and definitely will have some info on wireless, wireless is not currently on the CCNA exams so it will not be covered in 03 material.

    No way for us to be 100% sure, what will be on the new test, and how well the books will cover it. But no doubt they material will overlap and there is some good info in there. But yes, sounds like you wasted $50.

    The new ICND1 class that replaces INTRO includes basic NAT, more routing protocols and basic security as well as basic wireless technology.

    The new ICND2 includes RSTP, IPv6, SSH and 802.11 (various extensions) in detail.
    All things are possible, only believe.
