Cisco CCNA Certification: Becoming A Truly Valuable CCNA
I've been active in the Cisco Certification track for four
years, working my way from the CCNA to the coveted Cisco
Certified Internetwork Expert title, and during that time I've
conducted job interviews and casual conversations with hundreds
of CCNAs and CCNA candidates.
The CCNA is an exciting beginning to your Cisco career, but just
having the certification simply isn't enough. A recruiter or
interviewer isn't going to be impressed just with the cert
you've got to have some real-world knowledge to back it up.
I've been down that road myself, and sat on both sides of the
CCNA job interview table. With that in mind, I'd like to offer
to you some tips on becoming a truly valuable and employable
CCNA.
Get some hands-on experience. I know the trap well. You can't
get experience until you get a CCNA, and you can't get a CCNA
without real experience. Well, actually, you can, but do you
want to? Working on simulators is fine to a certain extent, but
don't make the classic mistake of depending on them. I've seen
plenty of CCNAs who were put in front of a set of routers and
really didn't know what to do or how to put together a simple
configuration, and had NO idea how to begin troubleshooting.
There are CCNA classes that offer you the chance to work with
industry experts on real Cisco equipment. Beyond that, you can
put together your own CCNA rack for less than $1000 by buying
used routers. Some people think that's a lot of money, but this
is the foundation of your career. Treat it that way. The work
you do now is the most important work you'll ever do. Do it on
real Cisco equipment. The skills I learned as a CCNA helped me
all the way up to the CCIE.
Besides, after you get your CCNA (and after that, hopefully
you'll choose to pursue the CCNP), you can always get some of
your money back by selling the equipment. The
hands-on
experience you gain this way is invaluable.
Know binary math. Do NOT go the easy route of memorizing a
subnet mask chart for the CCNA exam. I know some people brag
about being able to pass the CCNA exam without really
understanding binary math. I've seen those people on the other
side of the interview table, and they're not laughing when I ask
them to do a subnetting question. They're not laughing when they
can't explain or create a VLSM scheme. That chart does nothing
to help you understand what's going on.
If you can add and know the difference between a one and a zero,
you can do binary math. Don't let the name intimidate you.
Become a REAL CCNA -- learn binary math !
Run "show" and "debug" commands. No commands help you truly
understand how things work in a Cisco network than show and
debug commands. As you progress through the Cisco certification
ranks, you'll be glad you started using these at the CCNA level.
Do you need to know these commands for the exam? Probably not.
Do you need them to be successul in the real world? Absolutely.
The Cisco certification track has been great to me, and it can
boost your career as well, whether you stop at the CCNA, CCNP,
or go all the way to the CCIE. It's the skills you develop today
that will truly make you a networking engineer. Don't take
shortcuts or get the attitude of "just passing the exam".
It's what you achieve after the exam that counts, and it's the
work you put in before passing the exam that makes those
achievements possible.
