Exam
Description:
The Networkers
Guru explains everything about the CCNAExam in detail both on their website and also during their training
sessions. There have been rapid changes in the switching exam over the past few
years. The candidates need to thoroughly research and understand the structure
of the exam before they prepare for it and take their exam. The CCNA as in 2014 is consolidated into
three courses and test with a lot of focus on the technical and practical
aspects of networking. As far as the switching exam is concerned, the SWITCH
exam not only covers the generally switching aspects, but also extensively
covers the layer 3 switching abilities, voice over IP (VOIP), security video
services and its high level connectivity. Thus, the students are required to
cover all other related aspects with switching capabilities in order to fully
prepare for the exam.
Switching
equipment recommendations:
Switching exam can be a bit tougher than
the routing CCNA exam as explained
by the professionals from Networkers
Guru. One critical part of the switching exam as opposed to the routing
exam is that it doesn’t give you any inexpensive way for getting hands on
experience with the switching devices. All the emulators available in the
market have got everything to emulate except switches. This means the only
thing that you can do in such cases is to buy a real switch, but that can be a
very expensive thing to do for just preparing yourself for the CCNA exam. At a much higher level
beyond the CCNA exam, investing in
buying a switch can be justified as that becomes a mandatory thing to survive
in the competitive networking industry. The best thing that students can do in
such cases is to join a training center which has real networking switches
which you can use to learn in order to prepare for the exam. The Networkers Guru training center in New Delhi,
India has got the Cisco 2550 and Cisco 3560 switches which you will be taught
to configure and troubleshoot. Another benefit of joining Networkers Guru training institute is that you will learn
everything that you need to give the CCNA
certification exam.
The students can search for used switches
on eBay and other such sites and remember that even a second hand switch can
cost you $500 or above.
Switching
Exam difference:
The NetworkersGuru explains that there has been a lot of revision in the CCNA but the major differences were in
the features and functionality of the switches which has evolved over time. The
core concepts of the switching exam remain almost the same. The key thing for
students to consider here is that all the modern switches along with the
routers are running the IOS. If you want to configure a layer 3 switch then it
is almost same as configuring any standard router. A lot of candidates prefer
to take the ROUTE exam first, so this thing would considerably help them in the
SWITCH CCNA exam.
