hi QUIX0TIC,

unok?

QUIX0TIC

Just confused on what you are asking?

gimcarey

Just tell me how to begin with ...
Hav u taken any cert'n before?

QUIX0TIC

Yes... I have taken mutliple certifications before... but you ask how to begin with what? What cert are you trying to get? If CCNA... then you can go to the cisco website and check the one test or two test option and then go from there.

gimcarey

yeah..
I will check in the cisco site..
i think CCNA is the correct certification for a beginner...right?
will this certification test only concepts or needs some "CLI knowledge" also?

QUIX0TIC

Ok.. lets start off with the very basics... Do you currently have any certifications now? A+, Net+, MCSA, MCSE? Do you have any of these?

Have you ever worked in the IT field before? Do you have a position or job as a Desktop support or engineer?

CCNA is not a good cert for a beginning or 1st cert. You should focus on your beginning certs A+ or Net+ so you can understand the concepts of computers and networking.

If you do have certifications... then yes, CCNA is the beginning cert for Cisco products.

Hey... You are mistaken..!! I am not a newbee to the whole IT field as you may think..

First of all I am a software engineer...working in a networking company..

Your concept is totally wrong. Why can't we take CCNA at the first shot?
If i was wrong in making the statement as Beginner, then change it to "beginner in networking career"...
I don't think A+ MCSE have anything to do for a Networking Engr.

My doubts will always be along the levels of " how to make the linux machine work as a
router", " what is MPLS...."
and not along the levels of "what is a briidge" "what is a switch"

I think i have made myself clear..

Thanks
gimcarey..

If you took offense... I apologize. Not trying to sub-equate your knowledge/ experience into a lesser degree. Next time, you should format your question into a decisive question instead of posting such a vague question. No one knows who you are or your experience. Just as you do not know anyone elses experience on this board. If English or writing comprehension is not your first language... then I would agree with your previous post that you did not make yourself clear.

We are all here to help and not for you to get offended. I attempted to help but if you take offense... you must look at your past posts and respond to your own posts. Then if you can step back for a second and look at what you wrote specifically about the questions you wanted answered... then you will notice where we all came to the same conclusion that you were new to the IT field.

Look at your third post on this thread... "Just tell me how to begin with ...
Hav u taken any cert'n before?" If this was anyone else but yourself... how would you interpet this statement?
