CCNA NEW EXAM PATTERN

Previous CCNA exams were

CCNA composite : 640-801
INTRO : 640-821
ICND : 640-811

The above exams are valid only upto Nov 6 2007 and after that they will be removed and the below exams will come into affect.

ICND1 640-822
ICND2 640-816
CCNA Composite 640-802

In order to obtain your CCNA you can take and pass the ICND1 and ICND2 exams at $125 , or try for the CCNA Composite 640-802 exam at $150.

You can go with two exam approach or can simply go for one test approach as no body has actually proved that two test approach is easier and the chances or probability of your getting passed is reduced. So i think one test approach is the better one.

If already you are on your way of preparation, please take the old exam only as the content of the exam is much more easier. In the new exam/pattern new contents and new technology has been added so you may need more time for the preparation.

Here’s a short list of the new technologies covered:

Secure Device Manager
Virtual Private Networks
IPv6
2960 Switches
Lots of troubleshooting
Cisco Network Assistant
Advanced EIGRP and OSPF
Introduction to Wireless networks
More security
