CCNP V 6.0 Scope and SequenceLast updated March 2, 2010 Note: The course objectives and outline listed in this document for the Cisco CCNP ROUTE and CCNP SWITCHcourses are subject to change since they are still under development. The English versions of those two coursesare scheduled for release in the July 2010 timeframe. The English version of the CCNP TSHOOT course isscheduled for release in April 2010.Target AudienceThe Cisco CCNP curriculum is designed for Cisco Networking Academy students seeking career oriented,enterprise-level networking skills. Target students include experienced networking professionals who are ready toadvance their core routing, switching, and network troubleshooting skills and students with Cisco CCNA -levelknowledge who are enrolled in technology degree programs at institutions of higher education.CCNP provides a next step for CCNA Discovery or CCNA Exploration students who want to build on their CCNAlevel skill set to further a career in computer networking.PrerequisitesThe CCNP curriculum consists of three courses: CCNP ROUTE: Implementing IP Routing, CCNP SWITCH:Implementing IP Switching, and CCNP TSHOOT: Maintaining and Troubleshooting IP Networks.CCNP ROUTE and CCNP SWITCH have no required Networking Academy course prerequisites. Students shouldhave basic PC and Internet navigation knowledge and skills as well as a solid foundation in CCNA-level networkingconcepts and skills. While there are no required course prerequisites, students are encouraged to complete theCCNA Discovery or CCNA Exploration curriculum to acquire the fundamental CCNA-level routing and switchingskills needed for success in the CCNP courses.CCNP ROUTE and CCNP SWITCH are both prerequisites for the CCNP TSHOOT course. They can be taken inany order.Target CertificationsThe Cisco CCNP certification validates the ability of a network professional to install, configure, and troubleshootconverged local and wide area networks. The CCNP curriculum helps students prepare for the following examsleading to the CCNP certification:CourseExamCCNP ROUTE: Implementing IP RoutingROUTE (642-902)CCNP SWITCH: Implementing IP SwitchingSWITCH (642-813)CCNP TSHOOT: Maintaining and Troubleshooting IP NetworksTSHOOT (642-832)Curriculum DescriptionCCNP equips students with the knowledge and skills needed to plan, implement, secure, maintain, andtroubleshoot converged enterprise networks. The CCNP curriculum was designed to reflect the job skills andresponsibilities that are associated with professional-level job roles such as network engineer, systems engineer,network support engineer, network administrator, network consultant , and system integrator. 2010 Cisco Systems, Inc.

The curriculum was designed to be delivered by certified Networking Academy instructors, using a blend oflectures, lab activities, case studies, and assessments. Instead of being delivered online, each course uses atextbook developed and published by Cisco Press in close collaboration with Networking Academy. All courseelements are tightly aligned with the textbooks.All hands-on labs in the course can be completed on actual physical equipment or in conjunction with the NDGNETLAB solution.CCNP course features: Designed for students with CCNA-level knowledge and skills Can be delivered as an independent curriculum or integrated into broader courses of study Offers a hands-on, career-oriented approach to learning networking that emphasizes practical experience Can be delivered in-person or in a blended distance learning (BDL) environment Includes activities that emphasize networking implementationCurriculum and Course ObjectivesCCNP helps students develop the skills needed to succeed in IT-related degree and diploma programs and preparefor the Cisco CCNP certification. It provides a theoretically rich, hands-on learning experience covering advancedrouting, switching, and troubleshooting skills.The goals of the CCNP curriculum are as follows: Provide an in-depth, theoretical overview of advanced routing and switching and troubleshooting Equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to design and support complex enterprise networks Provide an experience-oriented course that employs industry-relevant instructional approaches to preparestudents for professional-level jobs in the industry Enable students to gain significant hands-on interaction with IT equipment to prepare them for certificationexams and career opportunitiesStudents who complete CCNP ROUTE will be able to perform the following tasks: Explain complex network requirements and design models for implementing advanced routing services in anenterprise network Implement EIGRP and OSPF in an enterprise network Implement various mechanisms for controlling routing updates and traffic Implement BGP to allow an enterprise network to connect to an ISP Describe a basic implementation for branch office and mobile worker connectivity Implement IPv6 in an enterprise networkStudents who complete CCNP SWITCH will be able to perform the following tasks: Implement, monitor, and maintain switching in an enterprise campus network Implement VLANs in campus networks Configure and optimize high availability and redundancy on switches Describe and implement LAN security features Plan and prepare for advanced services in a campus infrastructure 2010 Cisco Systems, Inc.
