TechLabs CCENT?

SephStorm

I've looked at the TechLabs CCNA thread above, abeit briefly, and I am very interested, Do we have one of those threads for CCENT? Specificly Hardware, as I have heard that CCNA is focused more on Routers, but CCENT works with switches.

In my studies, it looks like it is more switching than routing, but it still does include routing (RIP, Frame Relay). But, it does do switching in pretty good detail.

So, it does include both routing and switching, but moreso on the switching.

I would agree. It cover some Routing but I would hardly call it lengthy. That is not to say I am finding it super easy though. I am still trying to get all the commands memorized
