One of three courses leading to the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) designation. Topics include how to implement, monitor, and maintain routing services in an enterprise network. Presents planning, configuring, and verifying the implementation of complex enterprise LAN and WAN routing solutions, using a range of routing protocols in IPv4 and IPv6 environments. Also covers the configuration of secure routing solutions to support branch offices and mobile workers. Comprehensive labs emphasize hands-on learning and practice to reinforce configuration skills. NOTE: Course topics help students prepare for the CCNP ROUTE certification exam, but the exam is not included in this course. Industry certification exams are administered by an independent testing agency.
