Comptia Network+ Exam N10 004
By: liuhan
CompTIA’s Network+ certification is aimed at IT professionals with nine months experience in network support or administration. The Network+, exam code N10-003, was first introduced in 1997 and was most recently updated in May 2005. As of mid 2005, CompTIA says that over 150,000 people hold this certification. Network+ is an entry-level, vendor-neutral certification that you can achieve on your way to more advanced certifications, such as the Microsoft MCSE and EC-Council CEH. In fact, whenpaired with the CompTIA A+, it counts as an elective for the Microsoft MCSA. Although there are no prerequisites for this certification, CompTIA recommends that you possess the A+ certification.
This certification is well suited to system and network administrators. The Network+ designation is achieved by passing one conventional format exam that covers topics including: media and topologies, protocols, standards, network implementation, and network support. The Network+ certification thus demonstrates the candidate’s knowledge of foundational networking subjects. Like other CompTIA offerings, once a person achieves the Network+, the certification will not expire.
The CompTIA Network+ certification is the sign of a competent networking professional. It is an international, vendor-neutral certification that proves a technician’s competency in managing, maintaining, troubleshooting, installing and configuring basic network infrastructure.
Since its introduction in 1999, more than 235,000 people have become CompTIA Network+ certified. Microsoft includes CompTIA Network+ in their Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA) program, and other corporations such as Novell, Cisco and HP also recognize CompTIA Network+ as part of their certification tracks.
Although not a prerequisite, it is recommended that CompTIA Network+ candidates have at least nine months of experience in network support or administration or academic training, along with a CompTIA A+ certification.
