ROUTE is one of three courses associated with tests required to earn the Cisco CCNP Routing and Switching certification. The ROUTE course builds on the routing skills that the student developed in the CCNA Routing and Switching curriculum. ROUTE teaches advanced routing topics a network administrator needs to know in order to implement and manage an enterprise network of a medium or large size enterprise. Through lectures and hands-on labs students will learn to dramatically increase the number of routers and branch locations in an organization without having to redesign the network when these additional sites are added.
