Re: CCNA Security without CCNA Routing/Switching?
I passed the CCENT exam about 2.5 years ago and also sat the CCNA course. I ran out of time to sit the CCNA exam before it changed. I never really had an interest in CCNA R&S but was only studying it due to my job at the time. Since then i have moved more into security which is great with the change by Cisco allowing me to… -
Re: CCNA Security without CCNA Routing/Switching?
I did this. However, and this is a pretty big however, I have actually done all the study for ICDN2, I just haven't got around to doing the exam :) Others have commented that a lot of the security content in CCNA Security is also covered in CCNP R+S. Network+ is a good complement to CCNA/CCENT. It gives you a bit more of… -
Re: CCNA Security without CCNA Routing/Switching?
As someone who has taken ICND1, ICND2 and the 640-554 (retired CCNA Security), I would say go for the CCNA:R&S before going on CCNA:Security. CCNA: Security compliments CCNA:R&S like peanut butter to grape jelly. You can skip the ICND2, but there are definitely things you will see in ICND2 that will be reinforced and… -

Re: CCNA Security without CCNA Routing/Switching?
Almost every post on this subject recommends getting the full CCNA R&S first. The reasoning, which seems pretty solid to me, is that you need to understand all of the underlying technologies that are tested on in the CCNA R&S before you can effectively protect them. While I don't think anyone would fault you for skipping… -
Re: CCNA Security without CCNA Routing/Switching?
The CCNA Security is a weak cert on it's own. I see you already have Security+ and CEH though. What are your plans? Are you trying to get as many security certs as possible than apply for Security Engineer or are you looking down the Network Engineer path? If it's the latter it's best to do R&S first. -
Re: CCNA Security without CCNA Routing/Switching?
I like Koz's response; he answered your Q with a Q :] After thinking about it... he's right. Why are you studying for the ccna? Imo, it is reasonable to go CCENT - CCNA:sec.... But You will have big GAPS in terms of Routing Protocol fundamentals, Spanning tree, and such. But if you only want to learn about firewalls, Acls,… -
Re: CCNA Security without CCNA Routing/Switching?
What do you do right now? What do you want to do? With so little experience... i wouldnt spend energy chasing so many certs. Land an entry job somewhere... after 4-6 months, "embellish" on your resume "what" you did while you were there :] Create a narrative of the "direction" you want to go. Thats how the scam is played!…
