Now in this article we'll be discussing on two major things like about a cisco and different certification tracks: cisco provides like CCNA, Ccnp ccie and what are the different specializations just an overview of all those things. So in the previous section, If you remember, We have discussed some of the networking devices like switches routers, Like switches, A device which provides a centralized location to connect all your computers in the land, And we talked about routers, Provide a bad connections and then firewalls a Security device, Which provides a secure, Secure access to the internet or some of the wise devices like IP forms and then data center devices, Like some servers. Wireless devices like access points now c square, Is a leading manufacturer of all these devices. Here now here, As you are doing, Some CCNA codes will be getting into some basic overview of cisco. Cisco is a manufacturer of all these devices.
Now, Cisco provides some different certification tracks or contents or silver's for different levels of certifications like big cisco, Majorly divides into three level certifications. The first one is associate level which we call as CCNA cisco certified network associate, And we have something called professional level certifications. We call it as a ccnp, Cisco, Certified network professional, And then we got some expert level certifications like we got it as ccie, Cisco, Certified internetwork expert.
Now these are the three major levels of certifications we can say now there are some entry-level certification also, Which is something very less commonly. People will go with that one, Because the people who ever wants their carrier to start in the cisco it working, Probably t will start with CCNA and then the highest level of certification is CCI and able to that. There is something called architect level certification, But there's something a little bit rare and well.
It leasing them where you have, But majorly most of the people go with CCNA CC the nccI certifications. Now these are the different levels of certifications. We can say now again these certifications again, We have different specialization tracks like we have something called routing, Switching track. If I, If I just go with some overview, We got something called routing and switching track, And then we have some CCNA in the routing switching ccnpe in the routing, Switching and CC I el orden, Switching Narada ng switching is a specialized track, Which majorly Deals with a specialization in the land where we are dealing with a switches and then a specialization on the routers.
And then you can can advance your skills from CCNA routing, Switching and the CCNP routing switching. And if you want to go into the expert level certifications, Then we can go for ccie routing switching now similar way. We got some other tracks. Like security, We have CCNA security, Ccnp security and ccI security. Now this track majorly focuses on implementing security in your land.
As well as in the van like how we can protect our networks from the different types of attacks in the lab or in the van like securing your routers and you will get introduced to some of the firewall devices cisco, A sa firewalls, You get into more Into six security specialization in this tracks here, So that's what CCNA ccnp CCI security covers. Again, We got some y specialization now here it will be major recovering about VoIP voice over Internet Protocol start from associate level to expert level certifications, And then we got another track: light service for track now, CCNA series for a sec and pcs border and CC. I cerise border majorly deals with different specific technologies used by the service borders like mpls BGP technologies, And then it deals with the kind of networks which service borders he uses to provide wire connections all or two or maintaining some internet connection. Something like that.
So that's a separate track dedicated for that now there are many other tracks like a cisco. I will into wireless tracks again in that wireless again you got CCNA ccnp ccie major letís, With wireless implementations, If you have in the land or in the one. What kind of different wireless technologies we use and how t work and what are the different devices used to set up those kind of networks? Again, We got some some new kind of a new new introduction like data center CCNA ccnp ccie data center. Now this track specializes mostly on the some virtualization kind of things and some of the you seeis servers used by is cisco high-end, Unified computing systems and some of the nexus switching kind of stuff, So majorly how a data center is going to run.
And what are the different, Different kinds of devices used in the data center environment, Where we restore a huge amount of information like storage area networks? Majorly deals with that kind of specialization. Now again we got some of the tribes like we got some design track. Ccda CC design of so CA, Design, Professional in CC de. We call it as design expert, So majorly on designing kind of things. Apart from that, You had some new tracks added in the in the cisco like because some service port operations.
Now this is more into kind of some kind of how the administration or runs more into that and then cisco added a new track called CC collaboration, Which includes some of the wise technology. We added with some article, And then you got some CCNA. Article is also added in the new tracks now Cisco, Keep on updating these things like there might be some new tracks coming up or there might be some older tracks of the mood it all depends again. Now, Probably all this information you will find on the cisco website, If you, If you will get if you get into the like to know some more information, You can always visit cisco website.
We can go to ciscocom to to find the update information. Now, If you have a cisco icon, You can directly log into that. You can create a cisco account if you go to training and events here, You will find different types of certifications like if you go with anyone of this. If I just click on more here, You will find some different types of trainings and certifications.
Let me go back to training in certifications here now. When I click on this here, You can find the same / out of the diagram and, If you click on this any one of these codes like let me go with CCNA routing, Switching that one which we are going to cover here, You'll find some overview. Some article on introduction what exactly CCNA routing CD covers: it's a certification program for entry level engineers and what is the examination code like the current is 200 200 120 or you can write in two papers like icnd1, I say d2 and you can get some more Information like self study materials, You'll find, And if you want to get into details on on exactly what it covers, You can review the exam topics. What exactly covers, And you can click on it. You need a cisco account to log into that to view the complete contents.
Now, Here you can see the complete contents and you can use, Show details to verify what exactly flowers similar we can go into any other tracks as well, Like, Let's say I'll, Go to CCNA, While article or whatever it is, And you can find some more information On that, What are the different examination codes and you can view the syllabus now. Let me just quickly summarize the information here, Narciso del certifications. We have some different certifications, Different track, Cisco provides and each and every track is going to be a specialized track.
Again. A majorly you have three different tracks: CCNA, Ccnp and expert level certifications. Now, Wherever you want to start your period either, You can start with any of the entry level, Certifications or normally. This is the first track which you have to cove it now, Even if you are planning for any second specializations, Maybe you have a plan to do some CCNA ccnp security.
Let's take an example, But you have to start with CCNA routing, Switching and certification wise. Also, This is something a prerequisite for for any of the professional level or associate level certifications, And then probably you can advance your skills to the next level depending upon your interest, But this is the first track you have to cover so normally I suggest you to Go with the ccnp routing, Switching knowledge as well, There's something recommended again but certification. Why is it not compulsory and then you can advance your skills either to expert level certification after getting some experience or some in-depth knowledge on that or we can move on to any one of these tracks depending upon your interest or maybe on the market demand or Or if you are working for any company may be dependent, Choosing the correct track is totally depends upon your experience or your interest, Or it can be a market demand or based on the requirement for whatever the company you are working for.
Clearing the Certification isn’t considered to be that much easy, you have to go through rigorous training and lots of Cisco 300-710 Dumps would be needed to go through unless you have some expertise training courses like such offered at the EveDumps.
