Confidential CCNA v7 Migration – Generalized Guidance Dec 10, 2019* Continue with CCNA v6 The timeline is specific for English version of CCNA 7. For other languages, continue teaching v6 until v7 becomes available Feb 24 New CCNA exam July 31 Last CCENT exam Wrap-up CCNA v6 + adopt v7 Bridging content Transition to CCNA v7 (course #2 and #3 are significantly changed) Complete v6 courses for students targeting existing cert
Confidential Scenario – Completed CCNA R&S v6 ITN Easiest and cleanest transition is after CCNA R&Sv6 ITN students can move to CCNAv7 SRWE then ENSA ITN Completed CCNA R&S v6 SRWE ENSA Course Migration to CCNAv7
Confidential Scenario – Completed CCNA R&S v6 RSE ITN Completed CCNA R&S v6 RSE ScaN CN CCNAv7 Bridging SRWE ENSA ENSA CCNAv7 Bridging 4 Modules* Advantage: Simplest and feasible to ‘fit’ Bridging topics into CN. Disadvantage: Large # of topics taught not on new certification. (RIPv2, EIGRP, multi-area OSPF, OSPFv3, GRE, eBGP, Tshoot ACL, IPv6 ACLs, Tshoot NAT, STP Configuration, VTP, Extended VLANs, DTP, PPP & more) Advantage: Small amount of topics taught not on new certification. No Bridging course required. Disadvantage: Major topic overlap between RSE & SRWE (possibly up to 40% overlap) Advantage: Small amount of topics taught but not on certification. Disadvantage: Topics on certification exam not covered in these courses, Ex: Scaling VLANs, Inter-VLAN routing, STP, Etherchannel, FHRP concepts Course Migration Options *Challenge to fit Bridging modules plus missed topics into ENSA course (>70 hrs) Option 1 Option 2 Option 3
