Cisco Certified Network Professional Enterprise(CCNP Enterprise)
The Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) certification is designed for network professionals who want to deepen their knowledge and networking skills. The syllabus for the CCNP typically covers several core areas and is split into various tracks depending on the specific certification path chosen. As of my last update, here are the key components generally included in the CCNP syllabus.
