Back on the CCNA trail

Well I decided to go after the CCNA. I have enough hardware and books sitting around so I decided there was no reason to put it off anymore.

Hardware:

2x 2501 Routers
2x 2600XM Routers
1x 2950 Switch
2x 3500 Switches

Books:

Both ICND1 and ICND2 by Odom
CCENT by Lammle
CCENT/CCNA by Chris Bryant

2 exam route

You certainly have to just decide to go for it sometimes. It's very doable, just don't flake out halfway

That is my goal. I have only been doing desktop work for a year and a half but I'm bored to death now. It's time to move on. Hopefully from inside the company, we'll see.

If you have the Network+, I think you will be able to pass the CCENT somewhat easily and that will be a good start.

Keep in mind that your 3500's use an old IOS and can't be upgraded, but I used one when I got my CCNA and I relied on my 2950 to practice the new commands so you should be good there.

Good luck man.
