If you have already decided to give the online CCNA certification exam, then its time to plan now, Remember "if you fail to plan
then you are planning to fail"
Some of you might be in a plan to study CCNA materials and understand the concept and may not have the intention of appearing for
the test. Nothing wrong in that, Ultimate goal should be to master the CCNA skills which is essential in framing your career.
I personally suggest that getting your CCNA certification gives you more value in the market.
Clearing the CCNA exam in not a big deal, but what matters is how much knowledge you are gaining out of the course.
one key rule is read always, not only certification point of view, But throughout your career. Reading contents relevant to your
profession for atleast 1 hour per day will put you under top 20 percent people in your field. It is proven.
The CCNA syllabus created by Cisco is fine tuned, which is in synch with the latest technology in the industry.
As the matter of fact, Cisco is good in framing syllabus as per the practical requirement of the Industry.
Your psychology plays a key role when it comes to your interest in reading books. If you dont belong to the group, so called readers, then
you are missing something vital in life.

Master the fundamentals
Always keep this point in mind, Master the networking fundamentals. The key to success in networking is mastering the basics.
Only then you can build a solid networking skill above it. This will be beneficial during troubleshooting process as well.
So, Master the basics.
Getting CCNA Job
I know many people who are struggling to get a job in networking domain. This happened to me when I was fresh to this field. To be frank, I struggled to the core. I know the pain involved in searching for a job in which your heart is attached. This will not happen overnight, but with consistent effort you will achieve the desired goal. This content is exclusively for millions of young people who are in lookout for jobs.
Some people might have completed their graduation in Science, commerce or Engineering and would have pursued a course in CCNA, and some people would have completed online CCNA certification along with graduation.
All these will make you eligible to get a job, but not a job exactly.
If you are a fresher, then you must be willing to take up any IT related job initially to get into the industry. Then you can slowly build your skills and gradually move to the networking domain. If you are fortunate enough, you will be getting core networking job after the completion of CCNA certification.
I was not in the lucky list, I did not get core networking job for 3.5 years after my B.Tech graduation, even after completing my CCNA certification. I had to work in low profile projects and passive activities in IT infrastructure domain. But I was constantly keeping an eye on networking job. The sad thing was I worked for a company who was one of the leading service provider for Cisco but I did not get the opportunity to work as a network Engineer. After many months of struggle, finally I got my dream job in the same company, with full of cisco gears all around. Now I am very happy because I am following my dream. Also, Now I got the opportunity to work for advanced technologies like IP/MPLS, Traffic Engineering, CoS, QoS, VPLS, L3VPN, L2VPN, Multicasting etc...Also security devices. My awareness of technology has been increased drastically nowadays. I am really excited.
Success is just one decision away. You have to decide......What decision ?

Fundamentals of MPLS
MPLS is widely deployed in operators Network in recent days as it is a matured technology now. In earlier days it was implemented cautiously, since the technology was new.
Unlike some of its precursors such as ATM and Framerelay, MPLS uses Control plane mechanism more effectively from the very begining.
MPLS overcomes several drawbacks of conventional networking technologies like speed, scalability, QOS and traffic engineering. MPLS provides a path for reveneue generation for service oriented operators by incorporating several applications over the MPLS backbone.
Before getting into the core concepts of MPLS, It is vital to understand the IP forwarding in traditional IP Networks. In traditional network, NLRI (Network Layer Reachability Information) is propogated using IP routing protocol. The packet forwarding decision is based on destination address only. Therefor when a packet is received by the router , it determines the next hop address by using packets destination address along with its own information that is in forwarding/Routing table.
