What’s new? |
| Isn’t multicasting was part of BCMSN previously even IPv6 was taught in BSCI course? that’s correct but Switching did not cover Multicast routing which used to part of CCIE R&S curriculum now you have in-depth coverage of it. Also IPv6 was only introduced in old BSCI but configuration and implementation was not exhaustively covered which you will have now. You will also find more questions from these two topics in your new examinations. |
| Explain me more about the new papers? ISCW for the first time covers topic which never were part of traditional CCNP track MPLS over frame-relay is now included, site-to-site VPN, IPsec, IOS firewall configuration and even IPS (IDS) will be trained. |
| Hold on, these are the topics from CCSP and CCIP? Correct, but their lies the advantage which this vast new curriculum provides. The reason why all these topics find their place in CCNP is because of ISR Routers. |
| ISR Routers? It stand for Integrated service router single box solution to growing corporate needs it provides Integrated security, WLAN and 3G WLAN, Integrated VPNs, Switching, Voice, Accelerated WAN. Cisco clearly state that the New CCNP is based on ISR Routers and it’s a must that you get training on it. SDM allows you to configure and monitor ISR router through web. Because ISR can provide such a wide arrays of solutions you find so many new topics being added. |
| Does Horizon provide training on new ISR routers? of course, in fact Horizon is the first training center to introduce ISR. Best thing is you will be doing entire CCNP on the rack consisting of ISR routers only, that means say good bye to old second hand routers. |
| Can these practical be done on old routers? few of them, SDM is available as part of IOS in ISR routers only, IOS of ISR is little different then old series of routers, plus in the industry you are likely to come across new ISR routers only as old series routers like 1700, 2600, 3600 being end-of-sale products. |
