Network+
Certification is a CompTIA-sponsored testing program that
certifies the competency of entry-level network admin. The
Network+ certification covering the 2002 objectives certifies
that the successful candidates knows the layers of the OSI
model, can describe the features and functions of network
components and have the skills needed to install, configure, and
troubleshoot basic networking hardware peripherals and
protocols. A typical candidate should have A+ certification or
equivalent knowledge, but A+ certification is not required. In
addition to A+ certification level knowledge, candidates are
encouraged to have at least 9 months of experience in network
support or administration.
The 2002 objectives update the
Network+ certification exam on new technologies such as wireless
networking and gigabit Ethernet. The scope of networking systems
are broadened somewhat, placing an increased emphasis on
Linux/Unix, Windows 9x, Windows NT, Windows 200 and AppleTalk as
a network protocol. There is also more of an emphasis on
hands-on experience knowledge needed in the areas of network
implementation and network support including troubleshooting
scenarios. |
