CCNA (ICND2) Passed!

in CCNA & CCENT
Finally got around to passing my CCNA exam (ICND2) yesterday! Pretty pumped! I honestly wouldn't have been able to do it without the guidance and knowledge that everyone here provides daily...amazing site/forum. For study materials, I used...

Todd Lammle's CCNA (7th Edition)
101 Labs for the Cisco CCNA Exam
CCNA ICND2 Official Cert Guide by Wendell Odom
Cisco CCNA in 60 Days
Boson ExSim-Max and NetSim

For the next certification I might go back and get Security+ just to finish off the "CompTIA Triad"...unless anyone has any suggestions. Trying to lay a base of Networking/Security to decide what I like more. Any help would be appreciated! icon_cheers.gif

    Congratulations!

    You should be able to knock out Security+ pretty easily compared to the CCNA. While I can't make any comments on how the Security+ will affect job prospects, I can tell me you that studying for it gave me a pretty good starting point as far as security fundamentals go. I recommend it to anyone who wants to dip their toe in the security frontier.

    Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for.

    Great job on the pass. Depending on whether or not your "Certified for life" or not, the Security+ will renew those two certificates if you are enrolled in CE.

    Having Security+ opens a lot more doors for government positions.
