I have just got CCNA, now I m ready 2 move on to the next level, the professional certifications. I have interset in security.
but now there's the CCNA concentrations ( CCNA voice, CCNA wirless, CCNA security ) and there's the CCNP, the profssional level.
i'm little confused, what the best I can do for my networking career.
would it be better to get CCNA security to get CCSP or just go staight through CCNP??

How are you doing. As you know that CCNA is a associate/beginner level program and it only gives you the taste of the upcoming fields and foundations of the cisco network. Yes the CCNA has been concentrated with new add-ons. I think if you have some knowledge about the security while studyin CCNA then you should directly move to the CCSP. But , I suggest you to atleast hold a full grip on security by doing CCNA security. You have 2 ways here , the direct way and the alternate. Direct way is better but it gives you some problems about the advancement made in the security professional , but if you go through the alternate way there who problems will no longer come into your way coz you will be already aware of the things.

It's probably worth noting the prerequisites for the certifications too. If you were planning on going down the CCSP route the prerequisites for this exam are either CCNA Security OR CCNA + SND exam (SND exam retires 17th November 2008).

I personally chose to go the CCNA Security route.. In fact I plan to complete all four of the Associate level certifications prior to beginning the Professional level certs. The reason is that the Associate level certs renew one another and are prerequsites for the professional level certifications. My plan of action is this:
- CCNA Security (renews CCNA R&S)
- CCNA Wireless (renews both)
- CCNA Voice (renews all three)
- CCNP (Any test renews all prior)
- CCSP (ditto.. plus CCNA Security was a prerequisite)
- CCVP (" ")
- ETC…
If you just want CCSP then…
CCNA, CCNA Security, CCSP
If you want both CCSP and CCNP then…
CCNA, CCNA Security, CCSP, CCNP or vice versa… You will touch the material from associate level exams again anyway! Hope this helps!!!
