CCNP (Switch)
(Network Administration)

CCNP (Switch) – Cisco Certified Network Professional (Switch)

CCNP (Switch) is a very effective study curriculum to have an in depth knowledge about Enterprise Campus Networking. The module is authorized by Cisco, the Numero Uno of Networking World, and it focuses mainly on how to implement the LAN technologies required for Local Area Networks of an enterprise and how to connect that enterprise to the Internet. It is a pure practical based industry oriented module which also clarifies the basic and vital theoretical concepts.

The syllabus has immense amount of variety as it focuses on several interesting and challenging aspects like Security, VOIP, Redundancy, etc. As it is a professional level program so it demands that the pursuing candidate must be pre equipped with CCNA. CCNP (Switch) trained candidates can look forward to qualify for job roles like Enterprise LAN Administrator, Campus Area Network Designer and Consultant in Core Networking, IT/ITES, Software and even Non-IT Industry. The candidates will be in good demand in the big Corporates having large to medium sized Campus Networks.
