Among CBT Nuggets learners who have earned the CCENT, the most highly sought-
after CCNA certifications are (in order of popularity):
1. CCNA Routing and Switching (made up of just one additional exam:
ICND2 200-105)
2. CCNA Security (made up of just one additional exam: 210-260 IINS)
3. CCNA Wireless (made up of just one additional exam: 200-355 WIFUND)

The CCENT puts you on the path to a career in networking, but also opens up other
