What is CCNP?
The Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) is the middle ground of Cisco technical certifications. While more advanced than the Cisco Certified Network Associate, it is overshadowed by the Cisco Certified Internetworking Expert. The CCNP is considered proof of having the ability to work with medium-sized networks (between 100 and 500 end devices) and with technology such as QoS, broadband, VPNs, and security-minded features.
