CCNP Course module:
Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification is recommended for students to enroll in the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) curriculum. This advanced curriculum trains students to install, configure and operate local-and wide-area networks (LANs and WANs), and dial access services for organizations with networks from 100 to more than 500 nodes with protocols and technologies such as: TCP/IP, OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, ISDN, Frame Relay, STP, and VTP. The focus is on developing those skills that enable students to implement scalable networks, build campus networks using multilayer switching technologies, create and deploy a global intranet, and troubleshoot an environment using Cisco routers and switches for multiprotocol client hosts and services.
