Topics to prepare for CCNP Certification exam

A Cisco Certified Network Professional in Routing and Switching certification has the ability to plan, implement, verify and troubleshoot local and wide area enterprise networks. He works in collaboration with experts on voice, advanced security and video solutions. The CCNP Routing and Switching is perfect for those with one years of networking experience and are ready to improve their skills and work independently on complex network. The knowledge from this certification acts as lasting foundation and these skills are ideal for physical network of today and the virtualized network functions of tomorrow.

The CCNP curriculum comprises of three courses   : 

                          

1.   CCNP Route: Implement IP Routing

 This course is designed is such a way that the students learn how to implement, maintain and monitor routing services in any enterprise network. Students will get to know how to plan, configure and verify the implementation of complex enterprise LAN and WAN routing solutions by using a no. of protocols in IPv4 and IPv6 environment. This course also includes configuration of secure routing solutions for supporting branch office and mobile workers. More emphasis is laid on learning and practice reinforcing configuration skills.

2.   CCNP SWITCH: Implementing IP Switching

In this course, students learn how to implement, monitor and maintain switching in converged enterprise campus networks. The course also teaches how to plan, configure and verify the implementation of complex enterprise switching solutions. Topics like secure integration of VLANs, voice, WLANs, and video into campus networks are also included.

3. CCNP TshooT: Maintaining and troubleshooting IP Networks

In this course, the candidates will learn how to monitor and maintain complex, enterprise routed and switched IP networks. After completion of this course, candidate can plan and execute regular network maintenance, support and troubleshoot using best and technology based processes.
