The Cisco 640-822 Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1 (ICND1) exam is part of the two exam option for the CCNA certification that was introduced a few years ago. It replaces the now retired 640-821 Introduction to Cisco Networking Technologies (INTRO) exam. The exam focuses on basic networking and is recommended as the first exam to be taken in two exam option for the CCNA certification and has a difficulty rating of about 3½/5. The exam itself consists of between 50 and 60 questions that you have to answer within 1½ hours (90 minutes).
When you pass the 640-822 ICND1 exam you receive credit towards your CCNA certification. You also achieve the newly introduced Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician (CCENT) certification. However, the CCENT certification is valid for only three years and will require recertification. To recertify you must pass the current ICND1 or ICND2

Cisco introduces the CCENT certification
by Brent on Aug.08, 2007, under CCENT, CCNA, Cisco
Last week Cisco Systems launched the new the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) exams and a new entry-level certification, the Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician (CCENT) certification, which will exist alongside the CCNA certification. Announced at the end of June already, the new certification will be achieved by CCNA candidates that take the two-exam option and successfully complete the first exam, the Cisco 640-822 Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1 (ICND1) exam. However, CCNA candidates who opt for the single exam option (that is the 640-802 composite exam) won’t achieve the CCENT, which is a bit odd as the 640-802 exam is a composite of the 640-822 and 640-816 Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 2 (ICND2) exams?
