New CCNA And CCENT Questions Have Been Posted!
I've got three sets of CCNA and CCENT questions for you over on the main site, and a fourth set was added earlier this week. Here are the first three in the series:
CCNA Certification: Frame Relay Questions
CCNA Certification: HDLC And PPP Questions
CCNA Certification: Static Routing And RIP Questions
The questions on static routing and RIP includes a tutorial on floating static routes that you CCNP candidates should read as well!
Here's the newest set - the answers have been posted.
CCNA Certification Training Questions: RAM, ROM, Flash, And More!
I'll have at least one new CCNA question set posted over the weekend - I'll post a link to it here in the newsletter and on the blog!

Cisco To Announce Three Additional CCNA Certifications -
But To Earn Them, You've Got To Be CCNA Certified, So Get Started Today!
On Tuesday, June 24, Cisco announced three brand-new CCNA-level Certifications:
CCNA Security
CCNA Voice
CCNA Wireless
Click those links to go to the new resource pages I've created for each new exam - I'll post practice questions, written tutorials, and video training on those pages in the weeks and months ahead.
These new certifications are going to be a tremendous career boost to those who earn them.
Why? Just look at these statistics!
Security: Right now, 46% of companies included in the survey have a position dedicated to security - that's going to almost double over the next five years to 80%.
Voice: Currently, 40% of surveyed customers have a voice specialist. That number will rise to 69% in the next five years.
Wireless: While 33% of surveyed companies currently have a position dedicated to wireless, that value will double over the next five years to 66%.
(Stats were arrived at by Forrester Consulting during a study sponsored by Cisco. You can get a copy here.)
Those statistics tell a simple tale:
Network admins who have knowledge and certification in security, wireless, and voice will have a huge advantage over network admins who do not.
That's why Cisco is introducing these new certifications, and exactly why I'll be releasing Study Packages for all three of these specializations, beginning in September!
There's one detail you need to take care of now, though.
To earn any of these CCNA specialist certifications, you must earn your CCNA first, by either the one-exam (640-802) path or the two exam path (ICND 1 and 2).
This announcement by Cisco makes it more important than ever to be CCNA certified. Be ready to earn these new certifications by earning your CCNA now!
Just imagine how impressive your resume and reputation will be when you're CCNA certified and certified in security, voice, and wireless!
Personally, I'd hire you in a minute, and I've always been tough about who I hire. And if you already worked for me, you'd get the next promotion.
Get ready for these new certifications by starting on your CCNA now. Take five minutes to read this page - it's more important than ever.
The Ultimate CCNA Study Package
Starting this September, I'll be releasing Study Packages for CCNA Security, CCNA Voice, and CCNA Wireless. While I'm working on those, you need to be working on your CCNA to take advantage of these vital new certifications.
