May also want to consider
Juniper certification, http://www.juniper.net/us/en/training/certification/
HP certification, http://www.hp.com/certification/view_certifications.html (scroll down to networking)
It is also worth buying some second hand switches and routers to set up home networks.

For networking, learn programming logic and any standards based cert (Cisco's are as good as anyones).
If you concentrate on hardware now you'll have legacy knowledge in a few years.
Take a look at Cisco's ONE (and onePK) or Openflow (especially Google's WAN project) for info.
