The 640-822 Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1 (ICND1) is the exam associated with the Cisco Certified Entry Network Technician certification and a tangible first step in achieving the Cisco Certified Network Associate certification. Candidates can prepare for this exam by taking the Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1 (ICND1) v1.0 course. This exam tests a candidate's knowledge and skills required to successfully install, operate, and troubleshoot a small branch office network. The exam includes topics on networking fundamentals; connecting to a WAN; basic security and wireless concepts; routing and switching fundamentals; the TCP/IP and OSI models; IP addressing; WAN technologies; operating and configuring IOS devices; configuring RIPv2, static and default routing; implementing NAT and DHCP; and configuring simple networks.


I think you will find all of the subject matter listed above is also in the N+ objectives, only major difference is learning the cisco ios. I have sat both exams in the last 18 months the icnd1 is more advanced but close enough to N+ to study at the same time.

I've written practice exams for both Network+ and the CCENT/CCNA on and off for the past nine years, and I simply disagree with you. One covers basic networking theory; the other covers practical implementation on a Cisco device.

Spending ones time studying the CCENT in order to glean the information needed for Network+ is like studying physics to learn algebra. You use algebra to solve physics problems... but you shouldn't study physics to attempt to learn algebra.

 

I am not saying they are exactly the same, just that if you are going to learn theory about rip dhcp spanning tree etc is it not much more of a push to learn the config as well. This is even mentioned in the cbt nuggets N+ 2009 videos that there is so much crossover that its worthwhile studying both at the same time. The theory is covered in the N+ books and cisco so you are getting it from 2 sources always good when learning for certs the cisco book just go on to cover config as well.

 

Bazzawood - I have some CBT videos that i watched and found them useful when preparing for the N+

 

Currently just started an HNC in networking an like yourself i am struggling a bit even with basic concepts, Not ideal when after 2 days on the course we are getting told about ipv6 when we have not even looked at ipv4 . I am beginning to wonder if college was the right idea as i am finding i am getting more done studying myself.

 

IPv6 messed with my head at first I found that Mike Meyers all in one explained it best. When i did my ccna it was one of the last things we covered not the first seems odd to me to learn it so early.

 

ASJE1 i like cbt nuggets i just really liked the icnd1 and incd2 nuggets over the N+ they are a great resource easy to watch and take in.
