B. Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) Programme
The professional-level curriculum builds on CCNA with more complex network configurations, diagnosis, and
troubleshooting. Students learn about complex network configurations and how to diagnose and troubleshoot
network problems. 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 troubleshooting routers and
switches for multiprotocol client hosts and services. The CCNP certification course features the following modules:
a) CCNP1: Building Scalable Internetworks
