Emailed you both cisco press books and network warrior, make sure you read network warrior it has helped me tremendously in becoming a more competent engineer.

I need some labs to do after I read each chapter

 

[Bcotton5]

How did you guys study for your ccnp?

For CCNA I would read each chapter and then do a lab based on the material covered in that chapter at the end of it

I'm doing substituting right now until I land another job. That cable tech job was robbing me of my time and resources.

basically. i practiced all of the commands in the book/ per chapter. then made my own labs

if youre doing ccna/ ccnp r&S i recommend:

how to master ccna by rene molenaar. it helped me a lot and even though i didnt do R&S his switching book helped me a lot too

I can't believe I've been missing this thread. It's been awhile since I've been on AHH but I'm trying to get into Network Security. I was hoping you brothers can help hold me accountable so I can get this done. Been trying to break into IT but I realize I need experience.

 

[traestar]

Damn everybody's going into Network Security

 

[TANGLUNG]

I think that's where it's at for a long career. Online threats increasing daily.

 

[traestar]

I have a friend that started Network Security at Comcast, now he's Senior Network Security at another company. I think he's making 6 figures.

 

[Bcotton5]

Damn everybody's going into Network Security

If I get into the CiscoCyber Security CCNA Cyber Ops scholarship program Im gonna do CCNA Security right after

Is 31 too old to start IT? A lot of things have happened but I'm ready to jump in. I just have to figure that out where to start. Also, how in the world can I gain experience when most entry level I see requires that.

 

[Thereal_ba]

I might have posted this in the last IT thread. I'm starting out studying for the CCNA. Is this a good path to take to begin my cert journey.

Did you ever get your ccna?

 

[TANGLUNG]

Did you ever get your ccna?

I did. I'm now studying for the Security+ just in case as I think it's a DOD requirement.

Yeah, Craigslist.

I'm worried about doing that cause I heard people be selling the hardware and it won't have the ios on it.

Or it will be the old ios that's no good for the new exams
