CCNP Routing and Switching SWITCH v2

Exam 300-115

CCNP Routing and Switching SWITCH 5 Day Boot Camp

The CCNP Routing and Switching Track is by far the most popular, easily seen by the amount of R&S CCIEs (Cisco Certified Internetworking Expert). Once IT Professionals have achieved their CCNA R&S certification, the CCNP R&S courses are the next logical step for a career involving Cisco devices.

Course Overview

 

As of January 29th, 2015, the CCNP SWITCH 642-813 exam was retired. The IT Track CCNP R&S courses have changed to reflect the new curriculum and exam structure for v2.

This is the second course in the CCNP R&S series, after 300-101 (ROUTE), and after dealing with EIGRP, OSPF, and BGP for five days in that course, here we focus on Spanning-Tree Protocol, VLANs, EtherChannel, and lots of other great topics.

Prerequisites: Completion of CCNA Routing and Switching course and/or exam.
