Overview

If you are seeking to improve your certification career status, and are ready to take the necessary steps to earn a Professional Level Cisco certification, then GlobalNet Training is your home for customized and continuously updated courses to insure not only a passing grade but the skills necessary to build and maintain your company’s current and future network.

The rationale behind the new CCNP program is that a CCNP certified individual should be able to support any kind of network - including wireless and voice. The new CCNP program maintains its focus on the advanced skills required to manage the routers and switches that form the network core, but also expands to include techniques to deploy and support wireless, voice, and security applications on the network edge. Network professionals who achieve the new CCNP certification will demonstrate the skills and knowledge required to fully utilize Cisco Integrated Service Routers (ISR), which provide wire-speed delivery of concurrent data, voice, video, and wireless services applications. By passing the exams, you will also demonstrate the expertise necessary to integrate and manage converged networks, quality of service (QoS), and virtual private networks (VPNs).

During our repetitive hands-on CCNP labs, students have access to the brand new Cisco ISR routers and advanced Cisco Catalyst IOS based switches.  GlobalNet's CCNP students receive the highest quality of training, because we offer more hands-on lab time PER STUDENT than any competitor in the industry. Plus, with 4 routers and 2 switches PER CCNP STUDENT, you can achieve your CCNP Certification Guaranteed!*

Why Become CCNP Certified?

The CCNP certification indicates you have an advanced knowledge of networks. With a CCNP, a network professional can install, configure, and operate LAN, WAN, and dial access services for organizations with networks from 100 to more than 500 nodes, including but not limited to these protocols: IP, IGRP, Async Routing, Extended Access Lists, IP RIP, Route Redistribution, Route Summarization, OSPF, VLSM, BGP, Serial, Frame Relay, ISL, DDR, PSTN, PPP, VLANs, Ethernet, Access Lists, 802.10, FDDI, Transparent and Translational Bridging.

With a CCNP, a network professional can install, configure, and troubleshoot local and wide area networks for enterprise organizations with networks from 100 to more than 500 nodes. Network Professionals who achieve the CCNP have demonstrated 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.

Get CCNP certified and take the necessary steps to prepare for your CCSP and CCIE Security certifications.

Equipment

Understanding how to configure routers and switches is important, and GlobalNet's CCNP students gain that experience by training on 4 Routers and 2 Switches, including the Cisco Catalyst Switch series and the brand new Cisco ISR Router series, per student pod in more than 50 of our labs.

The GNT lab equipment allows the students access to the newest and most advanced equipment, including the new Cisco ISR routers and the IOS based Catalyst switch product line. Our new labs allow students to do the following:

1. Configure ISR routers with the new Secure Device Manager (SDM) web interface
2. Create QOS policies with the SDM
3. Configure the IOS firewall and Intrusion Protection Sensor
4. Secure access to ISR routers with the new Auto-secure features
5. Create and configure an MPLS network
6. Enable routing between Vlans using Virtual Vlan interfaces
7. Enable routing protocols (RIP and RIPv2) on a Catalyst Multi-layer switch (MLS) platform allowing the switch to converge with and share routing updates with stand alone routers
8. Create and enable router ACL’s and Vlan ACL’s
9. Create routed interfaces on a MLS

Students do not share equipment and are given 24/7 access to their own dedicated pod of live Cisco gear. We encourage students to bring their own laptops to take full advantage of our labs after class each day from the hotel.

Prerequisites

Students should possess the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification or the equivalent knowledge and/or working knowledge of basic networking and a solid grasp of TCP/IP and fundamental networking concepts. (See Guarantee for more information.)

Exams

Cisco Certified Network Professionals are required to pass four exams that provide a valid and reliable measure of technical proficiency and expertise. Our courseware is always updated to the current objectives that Cisco has documented on their web site. Our course content will continue to prepare our students to take the prescribed exams in order to achieve their CCNP. Our material consistently covers the latest technologies and the current Cisco Test Objectives.

The following exams will be taken during our course:

642-901 – BSCI – Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks
642-825 – ISCW - Implementing Secure Converged Wide Area Networks
642-812 – BCMSN - Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks
642-845 – ONT - Optimizing Converged Cisco Networks
