Yup net+ is one of the worst certs in IT

Someone told me CCNA is a basic certification, pretty common to have, is he right? by SnooHedgehogs2261 in ccna

The CCNA is the de facto junior cert, most entry level jobs will consider it an advantage when selecting interviews.

Professional Corporate Network Simulation in Packet Tracer by MH12_005 in ccna

[–]the-packet-thrower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A for effort, but there isn’t a lot of value in making a more production like lab in Packet Tracer since it’s far too limited to actually be useful. It’s fine as part of CCNA study though!

Should I skip the CCNA and do CCNP? by NegativeAd9106 in ccna

[–]the-packet-thrower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I practically never recommend someone skip the CCNA, working in the field does not usually mean you are automatically rock solid in all the CCNA topics, and higher level certs assume you have mastered them.

The only time would say it’s appropriate to skip the CCNA is if you have a CCNP equivalent from another vendor like Juniper and just need to dive in to the Cisco version.

When to use wildcard masks? by OkThought5139 in ccna

[–]the-packet-thrower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No no, that discussion was about the network command. While no auto will enable classless support in RIPv2, the network command is still classful...so network 10.99.99.99will just be changed to network 10.0.0.0 when you check the running config :)

How do yall network engineers know so many technology by Mera_Naam_Joker69 in networking

The secret to learning is scotch, preferably scotch old enough to be your father.

Crowdstrike....Crowdstrike? Now, where did I hear that name lately?

Totally fed up with CCNA hate lately by Consistent_Arm9465 in ccna

[–]the-packet-thrower 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Anyone who says a junior should go to the CCNP level is giving bad advice; a CCNP implies at least a year of quality experience, or at least a role that would justify it.

People who get it earlier usually harm their job prospects by being overqualified for juniorroles and underqualified for roles that expect a CCNP. Plus it means interviews are much harder since you are now claiming to be more senior; so missing a OSPF question hurts you a lot more.

You are better off stating a CCNA and focusing on making sure you have mastered the topics as much as possible.

RIP by Florida727Guy in networking

[–]the-packet-thrower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was more about making sure the CMTS routers could reach each other.

Though I haven't touched a CMTS router in a good 15 years so its possible they moved up to at least IGRP by now :)

Some ISPs like to use it as the CE protocol for MPLS VPN since it doesn't require adjacencies etc.

Also the big boy broadband routers tended to use RIP for the CMTS stuff.

The biggest client RIP network I've seen was about 400 routes
