CompTIA Network+ certification proves knowledge of networking features and functions and is the leading vendor-neutral social networking benefits for networking professionals.

The exam addresses the latest skills needed by technicians, such as basic principles on how to secure a network.

The exam covers network technologies, media and topologies, devices, management, tools and security. 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.

Candidate job roles include network administrator, network technician, network installer, help desk technician and IT cable installer. Companies such as Dell, HP, Ricoh, Sharp and Xerox recommend or require CompTIA Network+ for their networking technicians. The U.S. Department of Defense also recognizes CompTIA Network+.

CompTIA has released the newest version of the Network+ exam. I took the exam the first week of February, and I can honestly see the changes. ...
... While the exam is still knowledge based, I could see where CompTIA has tried to be more task-focused in the exam design. I also saw that CompTIA has revised the exam sufficiently to include new technologies.

Immediately after taking the Network+ certification, I started to develop Transcender’s N10-004 practice test. Over the past few weeks, I had been doing groundwork to prepare for writing the test. Part of this preliminary work includes locating, and sometimes purchasing, references for the test.

To find references, my first step is always to check the CompTIA certification site to see what is listed. Usually CompTIA releases their official CompTIA Press books around the same time as the exam. Unfortunately, as of this post, none of the book references they list are for the 2009 version of the test.
