You're right. The test you really need hands-on is CIT and FR/S. And much
more hands-on ( I mean tons of time playing with routers/switches ) is
CCIE....

I have to disagree with you here Ole. I took my CCNA without hardly ever
touching a router. After passing my CCNA I realized that you really didn't
need any hands on router experience. The test can be passed easily without
any hands on experience. I will say though that the more hands on you have
the easier it will be. The CCNA test is designed more to validate that you
know all the concepts well. I passed my test by just reading Cisco Press
books. I didn't do great, but a pass is a pass. The biggest thing to know
on the CCNA exam is the OSI, you need to understand that fully. Looking at
the scores below shows me that more studying, reading and understanding
needs to be concentrated. WAN, Security and routing don't really have much
to do with hands on. I don't know, I just disagree that you need a lot of
hands on to pass a CCNA. It wasn't designed for that purpose.
