CCNP - CISCO Certified Network Professional
Course Description
The CCNP curriculum includes four courses, which align with the four exams required for CCNP certification. The CCNP curriculum builds on CCNA courses with more complex network configurations, diagnosis, and troubleshooting. The four courses include:
- Building Scalable Internetworks (BSCI)
- Implementing Secured Converged Wide-area Networks (ISCW)
- Building Multilayer Switched Networks (BCMSN)
- Optimizing Converged Networks (ONT)
CCNP - Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks, BSCI (642-901)
Course Objective
In this course, students will learn how to create an efficient and expandable enterprise network by installing, configuring, monitoring, and troubleshooting network infrastructure equipment (especially routers such as Cisco ISRs) according to the Campus Infrastructure module in the Enterprise Composite Network model. The routed network includes the most commonly used and emerging IP routing protocols.
Course Duration
5 days
Pre-requisite
1. CCNA (Introduction and ICND 2)
CCNP - Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks, BCMSN (642-812)
Course Objective
In this course, you will learn how to create an efficient and expandable enterprise network by installing, configuring, monitoring, and troubleshooting network infrastructure equipment (especially Catalyst Multilayer Switches) according to the Campus Infrastructure module in the Enterprise Composite Network model. The campus switched network includes converged IP data, IPC (voice), and Airspace WLAN (Wireless) connectivity.
Course Duration
5 days
Pre-requisite
1. CCNA (Introduction and ICND 2)
CCNP - Integrating Secure Converged Wide Area Networks, ISCW (642-825)
Course Objective
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to explain the Cisco hierarchical network model pertaining to WAN description and implementing the tele-worker configurations and access. Participants would be able to implement and verify frame mode of MPLS, configuring site – to – site IPSEC VPN, Cisco EZVPN, Cisco device hardening and IOS firewall. Participants would also be able to identify and understand the different types of strategies used to mitigate network attacks.
Course Duration
5 days
Pre-requisite
1. Introduction to Cisco Networking Technologies (Intro)
2. Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices (ICND2)
CCNP - Optimizing Converged Cisco Networks, ONT (642-845)
Course Objective
Upon completion of this course, participants would be able to explain the Cisco hierarchical network model as pertaining to an end-to-end enterprise network, describing specific requirements for implementing a VOIP network, the need and methods to implement QoS on a converged network using the Cisco’s routers and Catalyst Switches. Participants would also later be able to explain the key IP QoS mechanisms used to implement the different QoS model, configuring Auto QoS for Enterprise as well as describing and configuring wireless security and basic wireless management.
Course Duration
5 days
Pre-requisite
Students must be able to:
- Explain the fundamentals of Ethernet including CSMA / CD, port speed, port duplex and 10Mbps to 1Gbps
- Complete the initial configurations of a switch
- Explain the basic of Inter-switch connections
- Troubleshoot a VLAN and VTP to the CCNA level
- Complete the initial configuration of a router
- Explain the fundamental security knowledge including the presence of hackers, viruses and other threats
- Explain the fundamental knowledge of IP addressing including the format of IPv4 addresses, the concept of sub-netting and VLSM / CIDR as well as the static and default routing
- Understand the basic of NAT / PAT
- Understand the standard and extended access lists and uses client utilities including Telnet, IPCONFIG, Trace Router, Ping, FTP, TFTP and HyperTerminal as well as the basic IOS familiarity including accessing the CLI on a CISCO device.
Target Audience
This course targets at IT Supports, Network / Systems Administrators, Systems Architects, Technical Support Engineers, Technical Consultants or those who have wide experience in networking and servers who may have gained certification in CCNA and wish to proceed with CCNP as their next level of professional certification.
