CCNP and CCDP certifications are only valid for three years and must be re-certified to remain valid. The CCNP Recertification Bootcamp course is a 5-day, intensive course designed for delivery by Ascolta. This task-oriented course is designed to take someone with CCNP/CCDP certification and give them the skills and knowldege needed to prepare for the CCNP/CCDP recertification exam (Composite Exam). This is the quickest way to recertification.

CCNP Recertification Bootcamp combines the Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks, and Building Cisco Multilayered Switched Networks courses into a one week class. Because of the accelerated nature of the class, be prepared for long days in class -- 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM -- and a heavy study load, including some self-study homework. Together, these courses provide the preparation that Cisco Systems recommends for the CCNP Recertification examination (Composite Exam). CCNP Recertification Bootcamp allows you to get that preparation with just one week off the field.

Course Objectives

After completing this course, the student should be able to:

• Describe advanced IP addressing to include route summarization, classless interdomain routing (CIDR), basic IP Version 6 (IPv6)
• Identify advanced IP routing principles including static and dynamic routing characteristics and the concepts of classless routing and network boundary summarization
• Understand theory of Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) and how to configure it for a scalable network
• Understand theory of Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) and how to configure for a scalable multiarea network
• Understand theory of Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) and how to configure for a scalable multiarea network
• Manipulate routing updates and packet flow using redistribution, distribution lists, administrative distance, route maps, and policy-based routing
• Configure basic Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) for internal and external connections to include path selection process, and default behavior of BGP
• Configure, verify and troubleshoot VLANs, VLAN trunks, and VTP in a switched network
• Explain the operation of Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and configure it in a switched network
• Explain the operation and purpose of Spanning Tree enhancements including Rapid Spanning Tree (RST), and Multiple Spanning Tree (MST) and learn to configure these enhancements
• Tune and troubleshoot spanning tree to enhance network performance, prevent network loops and minimize downtime
• Understand multiplayer switching technologies, Multilayer Switching (MLS) and Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF).
• Configure inter-VLAN routing
• Identify considerations for installing redundant modules to provide high availability in multilayered switched networks.
• Identify router redundancy protocols, HSRP, VRRP and GLBP
• Configure and troubleshoot router redundancy, HSRP, to provide high availability on multilayer switched networks,
• Describe components of a Cisco QoS solution
• Configure QoS features in a multilayer switched network
• Enhance multilayer switched networks to monitor network performance
• Discuss multilayer switched network authentication mechanisms
