Cisco Systems, Inc. is the worldwide leader
in networking for the Internet. Today, networks are an essential
part of business, education, government and home communications,
and Cisco Internet Protocol-based (IP) networking solutions are
the foundation of these networks. Cisco hardware, software, and
service offerings are used to create Internet solutions that allow
individuals, companies, and countries to increase productivity,

The Benefits of Earning Cisco
CCNA Certification
Technical professionals who support small
Cisco networks can earn CCNA
certification from Novell to become designated a Cisco Certified
Network
Associate. This certification validates that the associate has a
particular level of
knowledge and expertise in networking for the small office / home
office market.
To become CCNA certified, associates must
be able to install, configure, and
operate LAN, WAN, and dial access services for small networks (100
nodes or
fewer), including, but not limited to, use of these protocols: IP,
IGRP, IPX, Serial,
AppleTalk, Frame Relay, IP RIP, VLANs, RIP, Ethernet, and Access
Lists.
According to Cisco, a CCNA will have the
expertise to perform the following tasks:
Install and configure Cisco switches and
routers in multiprotocol internetworks
using LAN and WAN interfaces.
Provide level 1 troubleshooting service.
Improve network performance and security.
Typical CCNA candidates are technical professionals
seeking credentials,
individuals who are new to networking, or those who are re-training.
CCNAs will
be best suited for positions like help desk engineer, field technician,
level 1
systems engineer, and level 1 systems integrator.
How can becoming CCNA certified help you?
Not only will it allow you to
strengthen your skills in the installation, configuration, and maintenance
of simple
networks, it can also enhance your employment opportunities. With
the designation of CCNA, you will establish credibility in the eyes
of your employer or
potential employer, leading to more job opportunities and the potential
for
increased compensation.
