Certification summary:
CCNA validates the ability to install, configure, operate, and troubleshoot medium-size route and switched networks, including implementation and verification of connections to remote sites in a WAN. CCNA curriculum includes basic mitigation of security threats, introduction to wireless networking concepts and terminology, and performance-based skills. This new curriculum also includes (but is not limited to) the use of these protocols: IP, Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), Serial Line Interface Protocol Frame Relay, Routing Information Protocol Version 2 (RIPv2),VLANs, Ethernet, access control lists (ACLs).

Initial requirements:
You must pass the CCNA exam ($250) or pass both the Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1 exam ($125) and the Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 2 exam ($125). Training is available but not required.
