Sure Friend! Author: Priscilla Oppenheimer (---.ashlandfiber.net) Date: 07-16-03 17:38
The new CCDA course is very different. I haven't taken the test but I bet it's very different also. Here is a synopsis of the syllabus for the new course: The first module is on design methodologies. It teaches top-down network design. The recommended reading is "Top-Down Network Design." :-) Seriously, that's what the course suggests. The second module is on structuring and modularizing the network. Although it teaches the classic 3-layer hierarchical model (core, distribution, and access), it also focuses on Cisco's new SAFE architecture. See here for a SAFE study guide: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/779/largeent/issues/security/safe.html The third module is on campus design. If you've taken any of Cisco's other tests, you should be OK, with this. It covers STP, VLANs, VTP, ISL, 802.1Q. The fourth module is on WANs. Same stuff you've heard before probably. The fifth module is IP addressing. Only new thing is a new focus on IPv6. The sixth module is on routing protocols. Top-Down Network Design would meet your needs there with a couple exceptions. The new course covers IS-IS and On Demand Routing (ODR). (Does anyone really use ODR, I wonder??) The seventh module is on security. SAFE should help there. The eight module is on Voice Transport in gory details. Get some voice books or read up on voice stuff and Cisco's AVVID here: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/netsol/netwarch/ns19/net_solution_home.html http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/sc/rel9/soln/voip20/impl/scigdesn.htm http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/788/pkt-voice-general/7.html The ninth module is on network management.
