CCNP
(Cisco Certified Network Professional) (Certified by
Cisco, USA)
The CCNP certification
(Cisco Certified Network Professional) indicates advanced
or journeyman knowledge of networks. With a CCNP,
a network professional can install, configure, and
operate LAN. WAN, and dial access services
or
Organizations with networks from 100 to more than
500 nodes, including but not limited to these protocols:
(P, 1GRP, IPX.
Async Routing, AppleTalk, Extended Access Lists, IP
RIP, Route Redistribution, RIP, Route Summarization.
OSPF. VLSM. fflGP, Serial. Frame Relay, ISDN, ISL,
X.25. DDR, PSTN, PPP, VLANs, Ethernet, Access Lists,
802.10, FDDJ, Transparent
and Translational Bridging.

* The Routing exam (RUNG 640-503)
is one exam within two different series of exams required
to achieve either CCNP or CCDP Routing and Switching
certification.
* The following topics are general guidelines
for the content likely to be included on the Routing
exam. However,
other related topics, may also appear on any specific
delivery of the exam.
Routing Principles
* List the key information routers need
to route data
* Describe classful and classless routing protocols
* Compare distance vector and link-state protocol
operation
* Describe the use of the fields in a routing table
* Analyze a routing table, and test connectivity using
accepted troubleshooting
Techniques
Extending IP Addresses
* Use VLSMs to extend the use of the
IP addresses
* Explain if route summarization is or is not possible
for a specific addressing scheme
* Configure an IP helper address to manage broadcasts

of areas, routers- and LSAs
Explain how OSPF supports the use of VESM
Explain how OSPF supports the use of route summarization
in multiple areas
Explain how OSPF operates in a multiple area NBMA
environment

operation
Explain how EIGRP discovers, chooses, and maintains
routes

BGP
explain the use of redistribution between UGP and
interior Gateway Protocols (IGPs)
Configure a multihomed BGP environment and verify
proper operation
Optimizing Routing Update Operation
Select and configure the different ways to control
ruining update Traffic

not have redundant paths between dissimilar routing
processes Configure route redistribution in a network
that has redundant paths between dissimilar routing
processes
Resolve path selection problems that result in a redistributed
network
Verify route redistribution
