 Posted: Sun Aug 05, 2007 7:32 pm Post subject: When did 640-801 come out? |
 |
|
Hi,
I took CCNA for the first time about 5 years ago...it basically became
a library card while job-hunting (ie I got more books for CCNP), I
didn't have enough money to buy CCNP equipment or take the tests, and
I let it expire 2 years ago.
Now I'm thinking it might help while searching job prospects <cough>
so I'm considering taking it again. The problem is, I took the "new"
test back then (August 2002) but I forget what the test number was.
Is 640-801 the same test that came out back then? That way I can use
the same books (I have the books for 640-507 but they worked great
with the "new" test back then...there was less info on AppleTalk on
the new test than in those books, but I'm digressing).
Thanks,
Dan |

There has been quite a bit of change since then.
You need to get new books. Taking a refresher course would
probably help, too.

Fred

And the brand new CCNA just started this month. They have only write the
course material for parts 1 and 2, and are still working on 3 and 4.

The 640-507 that you studied for was retired and replaced by the 640-607.
That was retired and replaced in turn by the 640-801 you mentioned.
However,
640-801 retires on November 6, 2007 and is being replaced by the 640-802.
Basically you need to buy a new book. I started with the 640-407 and the
new
exam is a lot different. AppleTalk and IPX/SPX are completely gone. VLANs,
Layer 3 routing and other topics are on the exam now, that weren't on
there 5
years ago.
Hope that helps. |
