Oh lawdy, CISSP beckons me as well.

There's some good stuff in it, and it's helping me to tell management about stuff.

I'm working today so needed some light entertainment.

Certification goals of mine are still to pass the CCNA Collaboration so I can get back onto the CCNP voice/Collab. Just need to revise for the exam, still.

Must get CCNP collab by end of 2017.
Also want to get the SMB certs again, Riverbed, Nimble, and get to a level with AWS where I can be useful when our other AWS guys are not available. :)

Well, get started on that collab goal, 2017 is going to fly by like 2016 did.

Hello everyone!  I am new to the forums and have just purchased a CCNA R&S book from Todd Lammle.  I am starting my journey into Network Engineering today!  I am very excited to begin this as I have been in IT for some time now, but wish to focus on networking now.

Thank you!

I am looking to begin my journey with the CCNA Routing and Switching certification.  I look forward to learning all I can about becoming a Network Engineer.

Step one: Get Wendell Odom's official cert guide. He does a great job of writing.
Step two: Get some labbing gear. Buying stuff piece by piece is better than so-called certification kits. You can also go virtual with Cisco Packet Tracer and/or GNS3.
Step three: Ask questions here. Think up weird scenarios and ask us, we love to answer and discuss stuff like that. You learn a lot that way.

Thank you for the tips!  I recently purchased the Todd Lammle CCNA book.  Is this a good one as well? 

As far as lab equipment, yeah, I am looking at picking some items up very soon.

Thank you for the kind offering! I do plan on asking as many questions here as I can so I can get comfortable with routers and switches.

Thank you!
