Cisco® CCNA ICND2 Exam

Cisco® CCNA® ICND2® is the second of the two CCNA constituent exams. The first being CCENT. On passing both CCENT (100-105 as of this writing), and ICND2 (200-105) one will be awarded CCNA certification. The certification is awarded by Cisco(R). One may also obtain CCNA directly by passing the 200-125 exam.
