The CCNP curriculum provides the knowledge and skills necessary to deploy and maintain fully integrated network infrastructure services and applications. The curriculum focuses on the advanced skills required to manage the end-to-end network infrastructure but goes beyond core routing and switching to include applications deployed on the edge of the network, such as wireless, security and voice. It includes topics such as converged networks, quality of service (QoS), virtual private networks (VPNs) and broadband technologies. CCNP integrates next-generation network devices and services engineered to provide wire-speed delivery of concurrent data, voice, video and wireless services with optimized security. The CCNP curriculum includes four courses that align to the four certification exams that are required to obtain the CCNP certification. The four courses are:
Building Scalable Internetworks :
In this course, students will learn how to create efficient and expandable enterprise-class IP routing networks by installing, configuring, monitoring, and troubleshooting network infrastructure equipment as specified in the Enterprise Composite Network model. The routed network includes the most commonly used and emerging IP routing protocols.
Implementing Secure Converged Wide-Area Networks :
This course will teach advanced skills required to secure and enhance services in enterprise networks for teleworkers and remote sites. It will focus on securing remote access and VPN client configuration.
Building Multilayer Switched Networks :
In this course, students will learn how to create efficient and expandable switched enterprise networks by installing, configuring, monitoring, and troubleshooting network infrastructure equipment as specified in the Enterprise Composite Network model. The course teaches the advanced skills required for building enterprise-class switched networks with integrated VoIP and wireless applications. It includes wireless LANs, basic Quality of Service to support voice, high-availability features, and enhanced security for switches.
Optimizing Converged Networks :
This course teaches advanced skills required to optimize Quality of Service in converged networks supporting voice, wireless, and security applications.
