CCNA Certification

	The CCNA certification (Cisco Certified Network Associate) indicates a foundation in and apprentice knowledge of networking for the small office/home office (SOHO) market. CCNA certified professionals can install, configure, and operate LAN, WAN, and dial access services for small networks (100 nodes or fewer), including but not limited to use of these protocols: IP, IGRP, IPX, Serial, AppleTalk, Frame Relay, IP RIP, VLANs, RIP, Ethernet, Access Lists.
Cisco Certified Network Associate Exam (CCNA 640-607)	The Cisco Certified Network Associate exam (CCNA) is the only exam required to achieve a CCNA Routing and Switching Certification.
The following topics are general guidelines for the content likely to be included on the CCNA exam. However, other related topics may also appear on any specific delivery of the exam. Exam Topics: * Bridging/Switching * OSI Reference Model & Layered Communications * Network Protocols * Routing * WAN Protocols * Network Management * LAN Design * Cisco Basics, IOS & Network Basics	Recertification for Keeping Your Status Active Recertification is an important indicator--to IT professionals and their employers--that the certification holder has kept up with current trends in networking technology. Valid certifications may be renewed indefinitely, but without timely renewal, certifications expire or become inactive. To keep certifications current, individuals should advance to the next level of certification or recertify.
Recertification Renewal Timeframes CCNA, CCDA, CCNP, CCDP and CCIP certifications are valid for three years. Advancing to the next level or recertifying at the Professional level automatically renews all related Associate level certifications. All CCIE certifications and Cisco Qualified Specialist certifications are valid for two years.	Recertification Requirements Renewal requires certification holders to register for -- and pass -- the appropriate Cisco recertification exams. CCNA and CCDA recertification exams are simply the current version of the appropriate certification exam. CCNP and CCDP have separate recertification exams tailored to each. Questions are drawn from the multiple exams currently in use for each certification. CCIP certifications are valid for three years. Requirements will be announced at least one year prior to the first renewal date.
