Cisco Wireless Certification Migration
Wireless is now an integral element of most networks and is fundamental to the implementation of the Cisco Digital Network Architecture. The wireless certification path had not been updated for a while and needed to reflect the converged aspects of today’s networks. The new Cisco Enterprise certification path brings routing and switching, wireless and design under the same umbrella.
Some of the exams you completed for the old Wireless certifications may still help you to transition to the new CCNA or the new CCNP Enterprise Certifications.
See what your existing exams translate to:
CCNA Wireless to CCNA Enterprise
