Cisco Internetwork Troubleshooting

Do you want to learn how to install, configure, and maintain large, multi- protocol networks? Are you trying to increase your knowledge, sharpen your competitive edge, or advance your career? The expertise you develop when preparing for the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) will add to your skill set and help you expand your professional options.

The CCNP certification (Cisco Certified Network Professional) indicates advanced or journeyman knowledge of networks. With a CCNP, a network professional can install, configure, and operate LAN,WAN, and dial access services for organizations with networks from 100 to more than 500 nodes, including but not limited to these protocols: IP, IGRP, IPX, Async Routing, AppleTalk, Extended Access Lists, IP RIP, Route Redistribution, RIP, Route Summarization, OSPF, VLSM, BGP, Serial, Frame Relay, ISDN, ISL, X.25, DDR, PSTN, PPP, VLANs, Ethernet, Access Lists, 802.10, FDDI, Transparent and Translational Bridging.
GAINING AND CERTIFYING ADVANCED SKILLS

The CCNP certifies an individual's networking skills at the advanced level. Candidates who pass proctored exams will receive a CCNP certificate from Cisco and may use the CCNP designation on their business cards.

The CCNP is awarded in two tracks:

Routing and Switching
WAN Switching

Note: For specific information about CCNP-WAN Switching, see http://www.cisco.com/go/certifications

THE PATH TO CCNP CERTIFICATION

Meet certification prerequisites. CCNP certification requires a valid CCNA certification. Gain the basic knowledge of network support-and demonstrate it with CCNA certification-before beginning the curriculum for CCNP.
Determine your training needs. Review the CCNP exams listed below and their associated preparation courses.
Take one or more of the CCNP exams at CyberNetworks. When you pass all the CCNP certification exams, you receive a certificate in the mail and a designation to place on your business card.

BENEFITS OF CCNP CERTIFICATION

Overall, Cisco certification validates an individual's achievement, so it increases the holder's professional credibility by ensuring high standards of technical expertise.
In particular, the CCNP certification indicates knowledge of networking for organizations whose networks have from 100 to more than 500 nodes.
A CCNP can do the following:
- Implement appropriate technologies to build a scalable routed network
- Build campus networks using multilayer switching technologies
- improve traffic flow, reliability, redundancy, and performance for campus LANs, routed and switched WANs, and remote access networks
- Create and deploy a global intranet

Positions for a CCNP include:

Network administrator
Level 2 support engineer
Level 2 systems engineer
Network technician
Deployment engineers

CCNP Recertification
CCNP Recertification Exam: 640-519
CCNP certifications are valid for three years. (Recertifying at the Professional level automatically renews the related CCNA certification)
