Appendix D: Exam 200-120: Cisco Certified Network
Associate Objectives
Exam 200-120: Cisco Certified Network Associate. For up-to-date information
about this exam, visit www.cisco.com. Cisco offers two options for obtaining the
CCNA certification:
Pass Exam 200-120
OR
Pass Exam 100-101 AND Exam 200-101
While you can use this TestOut product to prepare for either exam, the product is
geared towards passing the Cisco 200-120 (CCNA) exam. We recommend you
study all of the material and take the single exam option rather than taking two
exams. This certification exam measures your ability to select, install, configure,
and troubleshoot Cisco routers and switches. Before taking the exam, you should
be proficient in the job skills listed below. In the spread sheet below the column
to the right lists the sections where the information is located in the course:
