Exam Description

The 640-822 Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1 (ICND1) is the exam associated with the
Cisco Certified Entry Network Technician certification and a tangible first step in achieving the Cisco Certified
Network Associate certification. Candidates can prepare for this exam by taking the Interconnecting Cisco
Networking Devices Part 1 (ICND1) v1.0 course. This exam tests a candidate's knowledge and skills required
to successfully install, operate, and troubleshoot a small branch office network. The exam includes topics on
networking fundamentals; connecting to a WAN; basic security and wireless concepts; routing and switching
fundamentals; the TCP/IP and OSI models; IP addressing; WAN technologies; operating and configuring IOS
devices; configuring RIPv2, static and default routing; implementing NAT and DHCP; and configuring simple
networks.

Exam Topics

The following topics are general guidelines for the content likely to be included on the Interconnecting Cisco
Networking Devices Part 1 exam. However, other related topics may also appear on any specific delivery of
the exam. In order to better reflect the contents of the exam and for clarity purposes, the guidelines below
may change at any time without notice.
