Course Overview
Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) Routing and Switching
certification validates the ability to plan, implement, verify and
troubleshoot local and wide-area enterprise networks and work
collaboratively with specialists on advanced security, voice,
wireless and video solutions. The CCNP Routing and Switching
certification is appropriate for those with at least one year of
networking experience who are ready to advance their skills and work
independently on complex network solutions. Those who achieve CCNP
Routing and Switching have demonstrated the skills required in
enterprise roles such as network engineer, support engineer, systems
engineer or network technician. The routing and switching protocol
knowledge from this certification will provide a lasting foundation
as these skills are equally relevant in the physical networks of
today and the virtualized network functions of tomorrow.
