刚考完CCNP-CIT(642-831)的考试没多久就看到论坛里面有人说CCNP的考试要发生大变化了,开始我以为只是升级题库而已,因为之前经常这样搞,后来才知道新版的CCNP考试不仅考试号上面发生了变化(将原来BSCI的考试号642-801调整为642-901;将原来BCMSN的考试号642-811调整为642-812),而且取消远程(BCRAN)跟排错(CIT)两门考试,取而代之为ISCW(Implementing Secure Converged Wide-Area Networks,对应考试号为642-825)和ONT(Optimizing Converged Cisco Networks,对应考试号为642-845)两门考试,看来安全跟语音已经提升到战略高度了
还好自己刚好把NP的考试给考完,不然这样一来就大乱阵脚了。但是其他很多正在准备NP考试的人怎么办呢?难道把手中原本已经准备好的远程、排错资料给扔了,调头重新复习ISCW跟ONT?不知道了,希望所有人都顺利吧
今天打开电子邮箱收到思科发来的邮件,我还以为是恭喜我顺利通过NP考试来着,结果证实有关考试变化的消息。下面就是思科发来的邮件,里面有有关考试变动的详细消息:

 

Dear Yu Lei,

Cisco Announces CCNP Certification Updates
Cisco® announces comprehensive updates to its premier CCNP® professional-level networking certification. The new program provides networking professionals with the knowledge and skills required to deploy and maintain fully integrated network infrastructure services and applications.
