First Exams (TCP/IP)

Hi All,

I've been looking to do an official TCP/IP exam so that I can look a bit better for my boss, I'm in no way ready for a CCNA but would like something a bit more recognisable than Network +

I've got my self an old copy of Exam Cram for MCSE TCP/IP for the 70-059 exam.
But I'm guessing that its very out dated.

If anyone knows or could suggest an intermediate networking exam it would really help me.

Thanks.
MB

CCENT. It's also 50% of what you need to get the CCNA and is general enough to be relevant even if you never touch a Cisco device in your life.

^ This pretty much
CCENT covers TCP/IP and OSI very well (and way more than Net+)

Considering that the RFCs for the TCP/IP we use now date from 1980, I would say the basic TCP/IP info hasn't changed, but new protocols certainly have been added. Besides the RFCs, there are a number of detailed TCP/IP FAQS (ITPRC - TCP/IP FAQ and The TCP/IP Guide -- Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)), and the TCP/IP Guide from No Starch Press is quite good. If you prefer A/V learning, try the free, 5-hour Networking Fundamentals - WBT course at Juniper's site.

Wow, thanks for the quick replies.
Ironically I support Cisco routers (800 series) so starting the CCENT would be a very good start.
