For those who have completed more of the certification tracks...

---

I am getting back into certifications after having a long hiatus, I was a Novell and Microsoft guy back then. I have completed my CCNA RS and have fairly decent knowledge of general networking as far as routing and switching goes. I however have very little knowledge of security and it being a new topic keeps me interested. I love networking as a whole though but I'm wondering where I should go from here.

CCNA Security or CCNP Route?

I am also wanting to use this to get a foot in the door for a job as a Network Admin/Engineer.

Thoughts?

@james-mccraw,

The more marketable of the certification would be the CCNP R/S path. The CCNA Security may be required but it's more of a specialization. It's a great certification and though there is demand it's not as high visibility as CCNP R/S.

CCNP with 5-7 years experience is what is required now.
