I have receved a lot of emails requests what is channged in NEW CCNA 200-120 starting from 01st of October 2013 , I have downloaded Exam outine from cisco Website and highlighted the new changes, Feel Free to comment on this if you find any discripency.
A part from this Cisco has excluded mainly Voice , Wirless and SDM stuff from CCNA R&S.
