    Looking to the future in networking

    Respectfully, I would like to expand on the CCNA comment. When you get your Net+, study up for your CCENT. (yes, do both, why? Because the ICND1 covers basic stuff regarding CISCO Routers you WILL use) and than turn around and study for the IND2 (CCNA exam) When you get your CCNA, there is...
