| | CCNA is a foundation level certification for individuals who are interested in building a future in networking domain on Cisco products. CCNA Certification is the prerequisite for any Cisco Certification so if you want to reach a Professional or Expert level in the Cisco Career Certification tracks, CCNA is the first step. CCNA certified professionals can install, configure, and operate LAN, WAN, and dial access services for small networks of less than 100 nodes, including, but not limited to, use of protocols, such as IP, IGRP, Serial, Frame Relay, IP RIP, VLANs, RIP, Ethernet, and Access Lists. With the latest version of the CCNA exam, Cisco offers two possible exam track options of either one or two exams. The Single Exam Approach - Exam Number: 640-801 CCNA The exam consists of 55-65 questions over 90 minutes and covers all CCNA exam topics The Two Exam Approach - Exam Numbers: 640-821 and 640-811 The two exam approach consists of 640-821 exam (Introduction to Cisco Networking Technologies, or CCNA INTRO) and 640-811 (Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices, or CCNA ICND) . 640-821 CCNA consists of 45-55 questions over 75 minutes and 640-811 CCNA consists of 40-50 questions over 60 minutes Either approach will allow you to successfully become a CCNA after passing the required exams.
