Entry
CCNP—the New Curriculum
CCNP is the widest-spread certification on the Professional
level. Cisco has scrutinized both the process and the contents
of this certification and shifted the focus clearly to enterprise
networks. Instead of four exams, only three will be required
in future. They are called ROUTE (Implementing Cisco IP Rou-
ting), SWITCH (Implementing Cisco Switched Networks), and
TSHOOT (Troubleshooting and Maintaining Cisco IP Net-
works). You can immediately book them along with the cor-
responding courses at ExperTeach.
All exams of the current CCNP curriculum will be offered until
31 July 2010. Afterwards, only the new exams will be availa-
ble. Cisco provides a generous interim solution for students
who have already begun the old curriculum. The BSCI and
BCMSN exams will remain valid for up to three years even
after 31 July 2010, to allow students to finish the CCNP curri-
culum—in combination with new courses. However, the over-
all period of three years must not be exceeded. Otherwise,
the first exam will become invalid. As of 1 August 2010, the
TSHOOT exam will become a compulsory component of CCNP.
Within the interim period, the old and new exams may be
mixed arbitrarily. You can find an overview on the last page.
Changes in the Course Process and Course Contents
The new courses ROUTE and TSHOOT follow the approach of
blended learning—they combine the traditional classroom
training with e-learning. The students can study the e-lear-
ning material on a Windows PC either prior to or after the
classroom training, completely independent of the latter. The
exams will verify all contents together. The major difference
between ROUTE and BSCI is that ROUTE does not treat the
routing protocol IS-IS. The lab share has in turn been increa-
sed. SWITCH has changed only little compared to BCMSN. The
major changes can be found in TSHOOT: instead of treating
the multifaceted topics of ISCW and ONT, TSHOOT focuses
completely on troubleshooting procedures in an enterprise
network.
Effects on CCIP and CCDP
The course will enable the students to configure and administrate
a scalable router network with Cisco products. The IP routing
protocols EIGRP, OSPF, and BGP-4 are configured in practical
exercises, and the differences between them are discussed.
In addition, the interaction of these routing protocols in hetero-
geneous network structures is explained. The contents of the
course prepare the participants for test no. 642-902, which is
required for certification as CCNP.

Target Group
This course serves to prepare the student for CCNP or CCDP certifica-
tion. It addresses employees of the network administration, support and
design sector, who are supposed to ensure connectivity in complex
enterprise networks or to design large IP networks.
Knowledge Prerequisites
Participants should have a basic understanding of Cisco routers and IP
routing. Know-how on the level of a CCNA is required.

The curricula for CCIP and CCDP have included BSCI or BSCI
and BCMSN so far. The rules are the same as with CCNP:
ROUTE replaces BSCI, SWITCH replaces BCMSN. The BSCI and
BCMSN exams as well as the composite exam will only be
accepted for three years after passing the exam for a CCIP or
CCDP certification. 5 Days € 2,490 plus V. A. T.
