Cisco Systems CCNP Track

For years the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) certification is regarded by the telecommunication industry as one of the most valued certificates to have. For that reason many telecommunication professionals have certified as CCNP and many more are in the process of certifying as CCNP. Cisco Systems wants the CCNP certificate to hold its value and for that reason requires CCNPs to recertify on a regular basis. For the same reason Cisco Systems has decided that the skills and knowledge required to be CCNP today differ significantly from those that are required and tested in today’s CCNP certification track. As a result, the content of the CCNP track has changed thoroughly. Wireless LAN is added to the BCMSN 3.0 course and exam. IPv6 and Multicast Routing are added to the BSCI 3.0 course and exam.

BCRAN is removed and replaced by the Implementing Secure Converged Wide Area Networks (ISCW) 1.0 course and exam. This covers Cable and DSL broadband access, basic MPLS/MPLS VPN, and IOS Security features including VPN (IPSec and GRE/IPSEC), Easy VPN, IOS Firewall, IOS IPS, AutoSecure, Role Based CLI. SDM is also featured in the course and in the labs.

CIT is removed and replaced by the Optimized Converged Cisco Networks (ONT) 1.0 course and exam. This covers VoIP network essentials and VoIP related challenges. To ensure the quality in a converged network, concepts and implementation methods for quality of service (QoS) is covered. Wireless security standards and Cisco Wireless LAN (WLAN) network is also covered.
