Passed CCNA

in CCNA & CCENT
Finally passed the CCNA 640-802!

I understand I have to register on the Cisco site, but when I put in my First, Last Name, and Reg ID, it's not recognizing it. I just finished this exam about 2 hours ago. How long before the Cisco site will recognizing my name???

Is there anything else I have to do now too?

    I am deciding weather I want to go after Comptia Linux+ or Comptia Security+.

    What do you guys think is more beneficial ?

    I've done unix administration at my previous jobs and I've been using linux as my primary desktop for about 5 years now. At the moment I am working in an windows enviornment.

    Congratulations! icon_thumright.gif

    You'll probably be in the system and have access to the Cisco Certification Tracking System sometime tomorrow -- but they do say it can take a few days (or up to 10 I think).

    If you have a SPAM filter on your email, make sure you check that every day -- you should also be getting an email with the instructions for the Certification Tracking System.

    Congratulations on the pass, very cool! As for your next exam, I'd say go for Linux+ before Security+. You can get a lot out of Linux+ right from the get-go, but Security+ is a second-tier certification that you benefit the most from when you have experience with a couple of different technologies. Getting CCNA is a good step towards having that knowledge, as is some foundational knowledge in *NIX and other operating systems, (i.e. Windows).

    Congrats again, and good luck!

    Ok thanks.

    Well I will look into the Linux+. I should find that a lot easier than I did the CCNA as I have a lot of experience with Linux.

    Just over 2 months. I would suggest you read more than one book and really hit the practice questions hard. Also, know your subnetting and have yourself organized for the time you have during the test.

    Note, I failed twice before passing because I should have reviewed a lot more practice questions.

    My vote goes to Security+, but why take a CompTIA exam? Why not aim for the CCNA-Security instead?

    Congrats, what were your impressions on the sims?

    I'm a little nervous because my 640-816 is scheduled for this Sunday. Subnetting I've got down pat, I'm straight surgical with CIDR. But, I'm still brushing up on NAT, ACLs, VLAN, and VTP because those are my weak areas.

    Practice question suggestions?
