Ok hopefully this is true with what’s to be implemented with the Computer Based exams. I don’t think many people out there are impressed, when someone posts their perfect exam score and the fact it only took them 5 minutes to complete a 50 question based exam.

Let’s also hope that questions on the exams are also more to the point regarding the technology and knowledge required for the certification, rather than vague, full of double negatives like some certification questions.

Cisco and Pearson VUE Launch Global Test Delivery Exam Security Enhancements

Cisco has announced the training path for the CCNA Wireless certification:

Cisco have recently announced new CCNA streams. The three new streams are:

CCNA Security

CCNA Voice

CCNA Wireless

These are to be the CCNA exam, plus and additional exam to attain CCNA in the valid stream. However this also impacts the two Voice and Security Professional Streams, as they now count towards the certification. From what I can gather it looks as if the extra stream is just recognition for starting the professional stream, as those will incorporate the CCNA stream exam.

Is Cisco looking at introducing a Wireless professional stream?

Also looks like some price increases for the CCxP exams.

Ammendium: Does this devalue the CCNA itself, as employers will now start asking for CCNA S/V/W instead of a veteran CCNA?

Hey readers!

This is a blog created to list the updates on the www.nullrouter.com website, that i’ve created.

My goal or idea behind the site is to create a reference guide for those in IP networking, and for those aspirational ones looking at getting into the field. So far I’ve decided to add a Tech Knowledgebase, An on-line tools section to help educate and help those with remembering the basic math formulas and rules associated with network configurations (my excuse to play and learn python), and section on networking certifications to include references for Cisco’s CCNA / CCENT, CCNP, and CCIE. All of these sections are very short for now, but intend for them to grow. So it’s kinda a hobby that I’m doing on the side from my real world work

While I intend on keeping my personal details anonymous, here’s a little about me:
I currently work in the wonderful world of networking for a large telecommunications organisation, and as a result get play with various cisco devices, ranging from lowly 2500 routers to the large CRS-1s.

I’ve completed the usual CCNA, CCNP and CCIP over the last 5 years, and currently preparing to complete the CCIE lab within the next 12 months. So i may add some extra updates on my experiences with preperation as we go along here.
I also like to play with Juniper equipment as well.

I have many other interests that are non IT or Networking related if you were wondering!
