CCNP – Cisco Certified Network Professional
CCNP Routing & Switching Certification
CCNP certification validates a network professional’s ability to install, configure and troubleshoot converged local and wide area networks with 100 to 500 or more nodes. Network Professionals who achieve the CCNP have demonstrated the knowledge and skills required to manage the routers and switches that form the network core, as well as edge applications that integrate voice, wireless, and security into the network.
Exam Registration
You can either register through Pearson VUE website or your nearest authorized exam center.
Exam Scoring
Usually around 80-85%
Passing scores are set by using statistical analysis and are subject to change. At the completion of the exam, candidates receive a score report along with a score breakout by exam section and the passing score for the given exam. Cisco does not publish exam passing scores because exam questions and passing scores are subject to change without notice.

Hello Folks,
I would be taking BCMSN exam within 2 weeks. The latest dumps I have is the P4S 7.46, but this is a Nov 2009 release. Please let me know the latest version of P4S if any and where can I get it from. Recent test takers say that Test Inside releases more accurate dumps. Where I can i get the latest test inside questions?
Thank you very much in advance!

@ Shafeek,
Of course, if you give the 642-892 composite exam before the expiration date of your ccna, then it'll extend your ccna validity for 3 years.
642-892 exam is live until July31,2010 but you need to take it before the expiration date of your ccna.

Can we do the exam of CCNP with out qualifying CCNA Exam
Answer is NO you have to have CCNA
Valid CCNA certification or any CCIE Certification can act as a pre-requisite

@ Paresh,
Actually you can pass without any dumps as long as you understand each and every topic in detail. Dumps are meant for increasing the pass chances.
Yes, you can pass using p4s 446 questions but if you want to increase your passing percentage up to 99 then i would recommend latest Testinside.

There could be different ways of configuring the same thing. So you can do your configuration either way. Just understand the underlying concept.

@ nik,
I'm amazed that you used p4s v3.10 and failed ! Sorry to hear that. That's why i recommend testinside nowadays. It is more close to the actual exam format. You should use latest testinside with 202Q.

A valid CCNA certificate is must for CCNP v5. exams.

But CCNA is not required in new CCNP v6.
