After reading this, I suppose that first step in new CCD* studies should be getting familiar with Cisco's SAFE Blueprints (as someone noted few weeks ago).
Marko. -----Original Message----- From: Cisco Systems Inc [mailto:CiscoCCDA@;mail.ciscomessage.com] Sent: ~ripjudagur, 12. nsvember 2002. 16:03 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: CCDA Certification Updates On November 12, 2002 Cisco announces its redesigned CCDA(r) certification track, which features the new CCDA exam # 640-861 and the new course, Designing for Cisco Internetwork Solutions (DESGN). The new DESGN five-day, instructor-led course will teach how to design Cisco network infrastructures. The existing DCN course will retire on January 6, 2003, and the existing DCN exam #640-441 will retire on March 5, 2003. A CCDA certification is achieved upon successful completion of the DESGN exam, and is valid for two years. The recommended training includes CCNA Basics and DESGN. The CCDA program is the first step toward achieving CCDP(r) certification (CCNA(r) certification is also required), and a redesigned CCDP track exam and course will be released around February 2003. The CCDP related course, Designing Cisco Network Service Architectures (ARCH), builds upon the DESGN foundation, teaching designers how to architect network services and solutions using that infrastructure. While the DESGN course addresses mainly infrastructure and network service issues, the ARCH will address mainly network services and solutions. What's New in DESGN Because networks and network services are growing exponentially complex, designing a network separately becomes impossible. Instead, the network is divided into modules such as the enterprise edge, campus, and service provider edge, with each module designed separately. Designers must ensure the entire solution responds optimally to business and technical needs, and that the network is highly available. A strategic network solution requires content networking, storage application networking, and voice applications. Successful network designs require critical modern infrastructure services (such as wireless access) and network services (such as security and management, quality of service, and multicast).
