The CompTIA Network+ certification is the sign of a competent networking professional. It is an international, vendor-neutral certification that proves a technician’s competency in managing, maintaining, troubleshooting, installing and configuring basic network infrastructure. Since its introduction in 1999, more than 235,000 people have become CompTIA Network+ certified. Microsoft includes CompTIA Network+ in their Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA) program, and other corporations such as Novell, Cisco and HP also recognize CompTIA Network+ as part of their certification tracks. Although not a prerequisite, it is recommended that CompTIA Network+ candidates have at least nine months of experience in network support or administration or academic training, along with a CompTIA A+ certification.
The Network+ Study Guide explains all you need to know about computer networking to pass CompTIA’s Network+ exam. The book covers the fundamentals of local area networks (LANs), the seven-layer Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) network model, and network operating systems (including NetWare, Windows NT, and to a lesser degree Unix variants).
If you are like the rest of the networking community, you probably have many certifications. Certification is one of the best things you can do for your career in the computer or networking field. It proves that you know what you’re talking about when it comes to the area in which you are certified. In this book, you’ll find out what the Network+ exam is all about.

What Is the Network+ Certification?
Network+ is a certification developed by the Computing Technology Industry Association(CompTIA). This organization exists to provide resources and education for the computer andtechnology community. This is the same body that developed the A+ exam for computer technicians. Back in 1995, members of the organization convened to develop a new certification that tests skills for information technology (IT). To ensure industry-wide support, it was sponsored by many IT industry leaders, including the following: Compaq Computers Digital Equipment Corporation (a part of Compaq) IBM Lotus Microsoft Novell TSS U.S. Robotics US West Wave Technologies The Network+ exam was designed to test the skills of network technicians with 18 to 24 months of experience in the field. It tests areas of networking technologies such as the definition of a protocol, the Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) model and its layers, and the concepts of network design and implementation—such as which items are required for a network and the prerequisites for installation. In addition, it covers troubleshooting concepts and how-tos.
Why Become Network+ Certified?
The Network+ certification is a relatively new certification, but it is the next certification in a line of CompTIA certifications starting with the A+ certification. Because CompTIA is a well-respected developer of vendor-neutral industry certifications, getting Network+ certified indicates that you are competent in the specific areas tested by Network+. Three major benefits are associated with becoming Network+ certified: Proof of professional achievement Opportunity for advancement Fulfillment of training requirements
Proof of Professional Achievement
Networking professionals are competing these days to see who can get the most certifications. And because the Network+ certification is broad and it covers the entire field of networking, technicians want this certification rather than only Microsoft or only Novell, for example. Thus, it can be a challenge to prepare for the Network+ exam. Passing the exam, however, certifies that you have achieved a certain level of knowledge about vendor-independent networking-related subjects.
Opportunity for Advancement
We all like to get ahead in our careers. With advancement comes more responsibility, to besure, but usually it means more money and greater opportunities. In the information technology area, this usually can be accomplishedby obtaining multiple technology certifications,including Network+.Network+, because of its wide-reaching industry support, is recognized as a baseline of net-working information. Some companies specify that Network+ certification will result in a payraise at review time. And some companies specify that Network+certification, in conjunctionwith A+ certification, is required either before an employee’s next review or as a condition of employment.
Fulfillment of Training Requirements
A training requirement can be mandated by your employer, as just mentioned, or it can berequired as part of another certification. There has been talk of using the Network+ certificationas a prerequisite to, or as part of, other vendors’ certifications. And we think it’s a natural fit.For example, training for both the Novell and the Microsoft certification programs (CNE and MCSE) includes a course in the essential networking technologies. Because the Network+ exam covers network fundamentals and is vendor neutral, it may be a good replacement for theMicrosoft or the Novell exam.
How to Become Network+ Certified
The simplest way to find out how to become Network+ certified is to take the exam. It is administered by Pearson VUE and Thomson Prometric, with which most of you are familiar if you have taken other computer certification exams, and it is administered by computer. To register to take the exam, call Thomson Prometric (not the testing center) at 888-895-6116 or Pearson VUE at 877-551-PLUS. You must pay for the exam at registration time with a major credit card (for example, Visa or MasterCard). Check CompTIA’s website, as prices may vary.
Who Should Buy This Book?
If you are one of the many people who want to pass the Network+ exam, and pass it confidently,then you should buy this book and use it to study for the exam. The Network+ exam is designed to measure the technical knowledge of networking professionals with 18-24 months of experience in the IT industry. This book was written with two goals in mind: to prepare you for passing the Network+ exam, and to prepare you for the challenges of the real IT world. This Study Guide will do that by describing in detail the concepts on which you’ll be tested.
