CCNA recert advice needed

bperiodbperiod Member Posts: 23 ■□□□□□□□□□
I am short on time to recertify my CCNA. (3/9/10) ICND2, 642-xxx or say Security? I'm looking for the easiest to study and pass in limited time frame. Any help is much appreciated, thank you!

    CCNA-Security would be my choice. Easier than the 802 exam at least imo.

    But I do have a fair amount of knowledge in that area so ymmv.
    if I say something that can be taken one of two ways and one of them offends, I usually mean the other one :-)

    Can the CCDA be done for extending time? If so that would probably be the easiest.

    [edit] Yes it can according to: http://cisco.com/web/learning/le3/le2/le0/le9/learning_certification_type_home.html

    Appreciate both responses. I need to get on it, regardless which route I take. It's going to be a hard go of it. I haven't even worked in networking, dealing with routers and switches etc for over 2 yrs now. Company laid off...I got stuck back in Desktop ):

    I'd say (depending on what you do and what you want to do) CCNA:S. CCDA is suggested after BSCI and assumes you have that knowledge. CCNA:S building of CCNA very nicely and IMO the material (not the configurations) have been "easier".

    Alternatively you could do CCNA:V or CCNA:W if you are trying to stay on the NA level or start the CCXP if you want to advance.

    The CCNA:Security would probably be your quickest (and easiest) option.

    Get the Cisco Press CCNA Quick Reference Sheets and use those to knock the cobwebs off your CCNA Knowledge.
