CCNP Routing and Switching Exams and Training Courses v2.0 Refresh



CCNP Routing and Switching Exams and Training Courses v2.0 refresh

The exams and training courses have been refreshed to reflect the alignment with changing industry job roles and the addition of new study materials.
Beginning January 30, 2015, 300-101 ROUTE, 300-115 SWITCH and 300-135 TSHOOT exams will be the only exams available for registration.



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.


Prerequisites

Valid Cisco CCNA Routing and Switching certification or any Cisco CCIE certification can act as a prerequisite.

Application delivery controller and it Modes

ADC:

An application delivery controller (ADC) is a computer network device in a datacenter, often part of an application delivery network (ADN), that helps perform common tasks such as those done by web sites to remove load from the web servers themselves. Many also provide load balancing.
 

 Goals of ADC:

 

 Modes in ADC:

1. Route Mode

2. Direct Server Return Mode

3. One-Arm Mode

4. Transparent Mode

 

 

 Differences between in each as below: 

 

Advantages of IPv6

Advantages of IPv6

1. No broadcasting. There is only unicast aand anycast.
Anycast communication allows the same address to be placed on more than one device so that when traffic is sent to the device service addressed in this way, its routed to the nearest host that shares the same address.

2. ICMPv6 is integrated part of IPv6. 

3. IPSec, which provides confidentiality, authentication and data integrity, is baked into in IPv6.

4.  Fragmentation is handled by the source device, rather than the router, using a protocol for discovery of the path's maximum transmission unit (MTU).

5.  Neighbour Resolution Protocol (aka ARP in IPv4) is multicast. supports router/host solicitation and advertisement for features like finding device gateway, Duplicate address detection.

6. Address auto-configuration (address assignment) is built in to IPv6. A router will send the prefix of the local link in its router advertisements. A host can generate its own IP address by appending its link-layer (MAC) address, converted into Extended Universal Identifier (EUI) 64-bit format, to the 64 bits of the local link prefix.
