Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) Routing and Switching

Course Objective

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.

Included Courses

  • Cisco CCNP R&S: ROUTE

  • Cisco CCNP R&S: SWITCH

Cisco CCNP R&S: TSHOOT

 

Cisco CCNP R&S: ROUTE

Course Objective

Cisco CCNP R&S: ROUTE online training course will provide you with the knowledge and skills needed to plan, implement, and monitor a scalable routed network. You will focus on routing protocols for both IPv4 and IPv6: EIGRP and OSPF for an enterprise and BGP for enterprise Internet connectivity. You will also learn how to redistribute routes, implement path control, and secure Cisco routers.

    • ?RIPng in an IPv6 environment

    • ?Technologies, operations, and metrics that EIGRP uses

    • ?Configure and verify EIGRP in IPv4 and IPv6 environments including optimizing its behavior and named EIGRP configuration

    • ?Multi-area OSPF including over different network types and how to optimize its database

    • ?Configure and verify OSPFv2 in IPv4 environments and OSPFv3 in IPv4 and IPv6 environments

    • ?Route redistribution and how it is implemented using distribute list, prefix list, and route map filtering mechanisms

    • ?Use Cisco Express Forwarding for efficient Layer 3 packet forwarding

    • ?Implement path control using policy based routing and IP Service Level Agreement (SLA)

    • ?Establishing enterprise Internet connectivity for IPv4 and IPv6

    • ?BGP for enterprise IPv4 and IPv6 Internet connectivity

    • Secure Cisco routers according to best practices including the configuring routing protocol authentication

 

Who Should Attend This Course

This course is recommended for network engineers and technicians, support engineers, systems engineers, network analysts, senior network administrators or anyone involved in planning, implementing, verifying, and troubleshooting routing protocols in enterprise networks. This is also intended for students who are looking for real-world routing & switching knowledge, and those that are considering obtaining the  Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) Routing and Switching certification. This online training course’s discussion of routing could also benefit early CCIE Routing and Switching candidates.

 

Passing this exam will also refresh the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) Routing and Switching certification, which expires after three years.
