@Kris, would recommend Comptia N+, then Structured cabling ( including OFC and Voice ) and onto vendor specific like Cisco. HTHs. On Fri, May 21, 2010 at 4:32 PM, kris njoroge <krsnjo@gmail.com> wrote:

thanks for the info @aki, can see the logic in your flow when it comes to vendor specific will he need to learn all the vendors that offer networks or... @ joseph i now understand the diversity in the field, what would you advice on selecting the core area to target, then where would he get work etc. You guys have fiilled me in sawa sawa.

My view, for the vendors portion I'd recommend Cisco, at least upto CCNP, as they have a huge presence here and the learning tools are quite indepth. Asante. On Fri, May 21, 2010 at 4:58 PM, kris njoroge <krsnjo@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Why do everything in order to increase your chances in a market thats over 80% Cisco, just dive into Cisco atleast upto CCNP. Cheers TheMburu On Fri, May 21, 2010 at 5:13 PM, aki <aki275@googlemail.com> wrote:

@George, consider that you will not be config-teeing each day. Nor setting up cisco gear all the time. What happens when you have to do a inhouse fiber backbone? Or calculate Add/Drops? For networking, it is essential to build on the core. Some thoughts for you = How would you extend an ethernet cable over the 100metres? Ok you'd want to add more switches, what about bpdu considerations? You may also do a repeater, what happens to the frames and chances of collisions/delays in a busy network? How would you design a network based on traffic coming from various reosurces such as Servers, Printers and Shares? Suppose your next network upgrade is to voip, how will this traffic be affected by bursy internal resources? How can you connect multiple routers to create correct routings at various levels. I'm sure you know these issues and I think for a starter they are important things to learn. HTHs. -- www.projectskenya.info

aki raises valid issues and they are addres by cisco's CCENT and ICND exams. I am of the school of thought that N+ doen't add that much value compared to a CISCO cert. But that is just my view. On Mon, May 24, 2010 at 12:53 PM, aki <aki275@googlemail.com> wrote:
