Network + and Above

Post by SnowShael »

I'm going to take the Network + Certif exam in April.

Anyone take it or study it? I'm not concerned since it's base fundamentals for Networking, but key points would be appreciated. My employer is getting on my case about not having it (Morons) yet I'm basically running and managing the entire operation from Hardware up to the Cisco/Juniper gear and even Server App's. It seems trivial and a waste of 191$ or so.

That being said,

Key points. Go.

I would grab it, even if you know it all already and do well. Employers love seeing certs.

i would practice a little, cause even if you know a lot of real life stuff the test goes by its own standards and really comes up with some quirky answers for things, its more about understanding how the test works then the material.

Cisco is 3-4x more expensive then Juniper and Extreme systems =P Also, JUNOS is pretty amazing, haha. It's a wonder why it's still the standard in so many companies.

I'll post again summarizing whole chapters and see if people understand and agree with it :P
