CCNA

It depends on what material the Boot Camp will cover and/or what knowledge they recommend you possess before attending.

There are essentially two parts to the CCNA "education process":

Part 1: Cisco Certified Network Associate Basics

Part2: Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices

Take a look at the following Cisco site that explains what body of knowledge is presented in each part:

By comparing the course outline of the Boot Camp with the with the course outlines of the above 2 courses on the Cisco site, you should hopefully get a good idea of what the Boot Camp expects you to already know. Personnaly, I would think the the CLI would be the meat of the course content for the Boot Camp. If this is the case, use your time on studying up on the basics, especially the OSI model.

One cryptic word of caution: When it comes to networking, there is the right way, there is the wrong way, and there is the Cisco way. You may have to relearn some the stuff you already know how to do.

I took the MCSE upgrade test in December, and after failing like the rest of the 91% that took it, my daughter was born.

ENJOY your new child, spend some good time with it while it needs you and needs time, and once it starts crawling, eating some people food, and what not, THEN go give the boot camp your all, and really prepare for it. I fear you'll lose your investment in one or the other and regret it one way or the other. Give it some time, and you'll have some real study time to give it a couple months including the boot camp, and you'll pass.
