Cisco Certified Network Professional
(CCNP®) validates knowledge and skills required to install,
configure and troubleshoot converged local and wide area networks
with 100 to 500 or more nodes. With a CCNP certification, a network
professional demonstrates 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. The CCNP curriculum includes building scalable
Cisco networks, Cisco multilayer switched networks, securing
converged wide area networks, and optimizing converged
networks.
