in CCNA & CCENT
Well, I did some rummaging around cisco.com and found this certification matrix. Hopefully it helps someone out.

    Interesting. I didn't realize that some of the CCIE certs require experience.

    Ah, after looking at Ciso's web site I see that this is only a recommendation. The PDF made it look like a requirement though.

    Not a problem everyone! Hope it helps you all out on finding you way through the certs. I was personally thinking about printing it out and sticking to my wall somewhere.

    There's another forum in TechExams that covers the design track. You'll find CCDA and CCDP covered there.

    I have.

    Unless you want a track that's basically cheerleading for Cisco solutions, don't bother. If you want to be a Sales Engineer instead of a Network Engineer, then the Design track is a good choice. Otherwise, stick to operationally relevant tracks.

    Any advice on good book that helps with network design?
