CCNP certification validates a network professional’s ability to install, configure and troubleshoot converged local and wide area networks with 100 to 500 or more nodes. Network Professionals who achieve the CCNP have demonstrated the knowledge and skills required to manage the routers and switches that form the network core, as well as edge applications that integrate voice, wireless, and security into the network. Recommended prerequisites: Skills in installing, configuring, and operating basic network infrastructures. Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) knowledge is required. The average CCNP makes over $92,000 per year. Increase your salary and skills with one of the most coveted certifications in today’s IT industry!
In order to obtain your CCNP certification, you must pass three exams:
- Cisco 642-902: ROUTE – Implementing Cisco IP Routing
- Cisco 642-813: SWITCH – Implementing Cisco IP Switched Networks
- Cisco 642-832: TSHOOT Troubleshooting and Maintaining Cisco IP Networks
