SYNOPSIS
Cisco’s CCNP (Cisco Certified
Network Professional) is an
intermediate-level certification
for IT professionals who can
install, configure, and
troubleshoot local and wide area
networks for enterprise
organizations with networks from
100 to more than 500 nodes. The
CCNP Certification has as its
prerequisite the CCNA (Cisco
Certified Network Associate),
and covers content such as:
security, converged networks,
quality of service (QoS),
virtual private networks (VPN)
and broadband technologies.
The CCNP got its start several
years ago and has been recently
changed in the summer of 2003,
with the introduction of the
Composite exam. There is a four
exam, three exam and two exam path
to the CCNP. The CCNP is valid for
three years. To recertify, the
candidate must pass the Composite
exam. Recertifying at the
Professional level automatically
renews the related CCNA
certification.
Job roles of those pursuing
this certification generally
include: network administrator,
LAN administrator, and network
infrastructure administrator.
