Recommended Training Path for CCNP and CCDP
The recommended training path for the Cisco professional level certifications is, of course, the
instructor-led courses:
·
Building Scalable Cisco Networks (BSCN)
--The BSCN class covers the advanced
routing protocols and the scaling issues involved with a large routed network with
multiple protocols.
·
Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks (BCMSN)
--The BCMSN class covers
the switch infrastructure and the configuration in a large network environment.
·
Building Cisco Remote Access Networks (BCRAN)
--The BCRAN class covers the
dial-up and RAS issues involved in large scale remote access designs and
implementations.
After these courses, the CCNP requires Cisco Internetwork Troubleshooting as the final course.
The CCDP requires Cisco Internetwork Design as the final course.
