February 21, 2008

2. CCNA v3.1 to CCNA Discovery or CCNA Exploration Student Migration Guidelines
Flexible guidelines to help transition students over to the new and improved curricula
No direct mapping exists between CCNA v3.1 and CCNA Discovery or CCNA Exploration
Supplemental review recommendations are provided to help fill any knowledge gaps and cover topics meeting the following criteria:
Essential for students to understand to succeed in the new courses
Partially covered or not covered at all in CCNA v3.1
Not reviewed again in the CCNA Discovery or CCNA Exploration courses
The recommendations attempt to limit the amount of supplemental materials that students will need to study for a successful migration
