Hi,friends...i am new to this forum and even to the field of Networking...Intrested in doing CCNA and CCNP...Before doing this i hav few queries..which i hope will be answered...here



1)How much salary a fresher gets ....when he is having CCNA and CCNP certifications. what kind of job he actually has to do in a company.

2)Is getting a job with these certifications(CCNP) easy in India...if yes what will be a salary expected?

3) what are the chances of geting a job with these certifcations in foreign? Or going abroad through the company in India?

4) How the Company defferentiates when a person comes for an interview having a degree of BE with a CCNP and a person having a degree of Msc(computer science) with a CCNP.How much salary will be offered to both the persons.

The salary is going to depend on the company you'll work for, the region in which you're located, the experience other than the Degree and Certs. From my experience, most guys that come into a shop with a CCNA and no experience will not do much other than load IOS and occaisionally create ACLs.

I'm unsure about india...

Certifications will always improve/pad your resume, but employers usually like experience coupled with the certification. Example: If you have a resume with no network admin jobs listed, but you have a CCNA, an employer may shy away from hiring you because you don't have the experience. This is not always the case though!

4) How the Company defferentiates when a person comes for an interview having a degree of BE with a CCNP and a person having a degree of Msc(computer science) with a CCNP.How much salary will be offered to both the persons.

A company usually doesn't change their approach based on your qualifications. Most companies have an idea of how much they are willing to pay for someone with certain qualifications/certs/degrees prior to looking for the potential employee. If you have all of those items listed, they will usually offer you more, but its a negotiation thing at that point. It's more along the lines of what you believe you are worth and what they offering.

These are my opinions. Hope this helps...

Not sure what OS you are running but take a look at:

http://dynagen.org/
http://www.ipflow.utc.fr/index.php/Cisco_7200_Simulator

however you will need to be able to get the ios download.

Another thing you could check out is other simulators from routersim.com and from boson.com to see what versions they are running but to be honest, it would probably be cheaper to get a 2950 or 2960.

Actually does anyone know if the above commands referenced will work on a 2950? This could be a nice low cost option for you if you go for a 12 port switch.

Hope this helps.
