New King?
The Huawei Certified Datacom Associate (HCDA) program is a great response for Cisco
CCNA.
The program is new and you do not find books or non-official preparation materials (in
contrast to Cisco).
The program is changing all the time and we should see in the future some big changes. At
this moment we can start our story with Huawei certifications from HCDA.
This entry-level certification itself is a certification directed to network engineers who work
with a Huawei equipment.
Do not forget to read our QA session with Phoenix Shen from Huawei.
What Exams You Must Pass to Become HCDA
To become HCDA you must pass the HC-211-ENU exam HCDA Huawei Network
Technology and Device (HCDA-HNTD). You can also register to the Chinese version, but we
focus on the English.
You do not need prerequisites for the HCDA exam.
Format of the Exam
On the exam you must answer 60 single and multi-choice questions. You have one hour for
that.
You can see a sample of questions on the Huawei website.
Where You Can Pass the HCDA Exam
The certification is valid for three years. To refresh the HCDA certification you must pass the
actual HC-211-ENU exam or pass any other higher certification like HCDP-Enterprise IP.
Scope of the HCDA exam
HCDA exam covers networking basics like L2/L3 protocols basics, security futures and
implementation of these information on the Huaweis routers and switches. HCDA also will
check your knowledge about firewalls theory.
The actual list of the topics on the HCDA exam you can find on the official website.
How To Prepare to the HCDA Exam
Books
o Huawei does not have any available (except that one available directly through
Huawei) workbook or student guide. We suggest two books that give you good
understanding about networking and network protocols
Lab
o If you want to train for the certification without official training (and do not
have the equipment int the work) the best way is to buy two/three Huawei AR
series second (G2) or third generation (G3) routers (AR 19XX or AR12XX).
(Look on the eBay)
o If you are looking for a documentation, you can create free account on the
Huawei website. Just go to the advanced search and choose right
documentation (Data Communication Product Line -> Router -> AR1200 and
type configuration as a title. Thats a good starting point.
