    I feel obligated to educate this person's audience. He is 100% incorrect around 11:51 mark. You do NOT need a ccna to get the ccnp nor do you need the ccnp to get the ccie. This is old school. If you are going for the 200-3xx+ series, there are zero prerequisites for the advanced certs.

    • @SupraWes

      Yes, you are correct. I think I meant this as more of a general path to those certs. It is not easy making videos off the cuff like this.

      There is no requirment anymore but you'd want to be already in the area / suitably experienced, then you could look over the CCNA objectives at least, then hit the CCNP.

      Hopefully the two dudes in North America qualified to walk in and take the CCIE see your message! Otherwise they might wind up working help desk at Best Buy!

      A CCIE prerequisite is the encore 350-401 (CCNP). Where are you getting this info from?
      And why would anyone jump straight to CCNP without getting the basics.

      ​@@gusbarnesiii8210 that's not a prereq. That is the written portion of the exam that makes you eligible for the lab.
      There are tons of people that skip both CCNA and CCNP and go straight to CCIE. engineers with relevant experience do this fairly frequently.
      The CCNA and CCNP aren't even close to the level of knowledge required to pass the CCIE and unless you've encountered CCIE lab issues in real life, it's highly unlikely you'll be able to lab it in preparation.

    Make sure you know the difference between Administrative Distance and longest prefix. And you will be tested on EIGRP and RIP, basically as an afterthought. Like you should know those protocols and the details of those protocols as a given, and so assuming you know them, then x,y, and z. The main thing about the test is they will present you questions you have never seen, and answers about topics you don't know. But what you do know should help you choose the correct answers. Its a weird test. I have current A+, Net+, and Sec+ and now CCNA since last Monday. This test was definitely harder.

    Thank you for sharing your CCNA certification journey. Congratulations on passing it! I enjoyed watching this video as you honestly related your study approach for and experience with studying for the CCNA certification. I like Practical Networking - Ed Harmoush. His CCNA videos on OSPF, IPV4 subnetting, NAT/PAT, ACLs and How data flows through the Internet are a must watch. His Packet Tracer, and GNS3 labs are very instructive.
    Keith Barker, David Bombal, Network Chuck and Kevin Wallace also have a few great CCNA videos on various topics.

    Congrats, Wes! I've only have some experience configuring our switches at work, writing the ACLs, configuring ports/spanning tree/bpduguard, etc - since I work at Linux at home the command line comes pretty naturally. I still can't get my head around some networking things - luckily that has been farmed out and no longer my responsibility.

    • @SupraWes
      @SupraWes  2 роки тому +1

      Those tasks are a pretty good foundation, ACL's are really tricky to get right, it is so easy to not block enough or block too much, it is good that it is no longer your responsibility. Sadly I wont use any of this in my work yet it is a requirement anyway.

    I don't make videos and have no idea how hard it is to get your message out without a script.
    Congrats and thanks again.

      Thank you, I am guessing you are referring to the chapter breaks I put in. Yes it is difficult to create videos like this, especially for a shy introverted type like I am. Friends are always shocked by my videos because I rarely speak.

    I'm studying for the CCNA right now but I also have no prior IT background (other than messing around with some front-end web dev stuff)...
    What I'd like to see, is a video detailing some steps to land a junior network engineering role with no degree etc...
    Kinda the path to actually land a job.

    Interesting video. Been working on enterprise networks at a low level MSP for about 3 years, but almost exclusively layer 2. I've got my CCNA exam scheduled on the 25th. Want to get my hands onto some routers, and then get AWS certified on track to become a cloud engineer. Feel like i've got a solid understanding of the concepts, we will just have to see how well i can execute at the testing facility !

      I do not know, I would plan for the possibility of a lab because the cert guide lists labs as a possible question on the exam.
