With the CCNP course you are sure to get across through gruelling sessions of building scalable Cisco Internetworks. Here you have the opportunity to learn Multi-area OSPF operations, helping you earn a degree that teaches you almost everything in internetworking.
In short, you learn IOS routing features, implement BGP for enterprise ISP connectivity, master and implement multicast forwarding, understand gateway redundancy technologies and security features in a switched network. While there are two levels of examinations you are sure to master both within the timeframe of the course, equipping you with the implementation of Secure Converged Wide Area Networks or ISCW, while building Cisco Remote Access Networks or the BCRAN.
