Hi Chuck, Not sure if you're still parsing through these comments. I just passed my CCENT (again), and a lot of your brother's advice and comments still apply. A couple of comments on some of the postings below:
- You're NEVER too old to get into IT/Networking. I've known guys in their 50's who got their CCNA and became Network Admins at companies. I'm working on re-cert for my CCNA a 3rd time. Why? The topics change (they removed frame relay for crying out loud, I thought I would never see the day).
- The CCNA is a great foundational cert to have, if you're debating CCNA vs. Net+, the CCNA will take you farther. The concepts can be applied to Software Defined Networking as well as other vendors' equipment. For example Dell PowerConnect switches are very similar, and if you know what's happening at the foundation you can configure Juniper gear too. Even firewalls like pfSense/Fortigate/Sophos can use VLANs, routing protocols, etc.
- Don't be scared of IPv6! The entire section in the 100-105 Cisco Press book is an excellent foundation for IPv6. While IPv4 won't be going away any time soon, most of us will probably be using dual-stack/6to4 (or vice versa) at some point.
- French press? Really? pffftt... Call me when you get a moka pot, rookie! hahaha
