200-120 CCNA Exam Topics

Exam Description
CCNA Exam: The 200-120 CCNA exam is the composite exam associated with the CCNA Routing and Switching certification. Candidates can prepare for this exam by taking the Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1 (ICND1) v2.0 and the Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 2 (ICND2) v2.0 courses. This exam tests a candidate's knowledge and skills required to install, operate, and troubleshoot a small to medium-size enterprise branch network. The topics include all the areas covered under the 100-101 ICND1 and 200-101 ICND2 exams.
Exam Topics
The following topics are general guidelines for the content likely to be included on the CCNA Composite exam. However, other related topics may also appear on any specific delivery of the exam. The guidelines below may change at any time without notice in order to better reflect the contents of the exam and for clarity purposes.
