CCNP Exam Refresh




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 ROUTE300-115 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.
