思科宣布更改CCNP语音

Unity Connection and Presence Join the Club; QoS Exam Gone

除了CCNP安全和CCNA语音通知思科今天在纽约Interop制作,思科还宣布更改CCNP语音认证。思科似乎正在改变所有的专业级证书的名称CCNP“东西”(CCNP语音是这个证书的新的官方名称)。最大的变化?更新协同软件V8.0,统一连接和存在进入这个证书在新CAPPS的考试,并且考试的QoS叶证书。

这篇文章将重点CCNP证书声,与在此张贴的底部列出的其他帖子的链接。在这篇文章中,我给的变化的概述,列出了一些链接,打开它的一些本能的反应。我将深入探讨在未来几周在个别考试的具体细节。

考试的变化:

CCNP Voice retains the 5-exam model. Updated versions of CVOICE, CIPT1, CIPT2, and TUC (renamed TVOICE) all remain, but with some topics shifting. The QoS exam goes away from CCNP Voice, but some QoS content moves over to the new CVOICE. (The new CVOICE tacks "and QoS" to the end of the old official name.) Cisco replaces the QoS exam slot in CCNP Voice with the new Integrating Cisco Unified Communications Applications (CAPPS) exam.

I had the chance to chat with Fred Weiller, Director of Marketing for Learning@Cisco, and Tejas Vashi, Senior Manager Responsible for Product Management for Learning@Cisco, about the upcoming changes. Fred told me that the biggest change across the exams (and related courses) is the additions/changes related to V8.0 of all the Cisco Voice products (Cisco Unified Communications and Collaboration 8.0). So while the topics may have gotten moved around a bit from exam to exam (comparing the old and new exams, respectively), the biggest changes appear to be the updates for the product versions, and the addition of the new CAPPS exam. It also looks like some of the CIPT1 admin tasks have moved over to the new CCNA to the new ICOMMM course, which is a new exam forCCNA Voice

To help us sift through the specifics about changes to the exams, I've asked my good friend and occasional guest blogger in this space, Dave Schulz, to do a guest blog post here.(Dave teaches Voice classes for Skyline ATS, and wrote the new Cisco Press CIPT2 Quick Reference product.) Before the week's up, I'll post his thoughts examining the details of the changes in CIPT1/CIPT2. He'll probably also give us some additional detail of the other new CCNP Voice exams in another post as well.

对于CCNP语音,CAPPS,新的考试侧重于语音应用,特别是思科统一消息(统一)和Cisco Unified存在。思科已经对这些主题的课程,但不能在前CCVP轨道。

Finally, Cisco did not migrate the QoS exam from the old CCVP to the new CCNP Voice. Cisco removed QoS as a major topic from CCNP (Route/Switch) in their January 2010 update. (点击这里看到今年的CCNP的变化更早的博客文章)思科预缩CCVP / CCNP语音服务质量的内容,但新CVOICE 8.0考试不盖几个QoS的主题:区分服务,分类和标记,链路效率和LLQ。该考试的QoS坚持围绕为CCIP轨道。哇!

交易nsition Plan:

像往常一样,思科将会有一个过渡期,其中旧的考试依然存在,新的考试也同样存在。的最后日期与旧的考试在2011年2月28日发布的测试,但如果你在这个日子基础的学习计划重新检查网站!(望向新CCNP语音主页和search from there.) You can always pass all the old exams before they go away, or wait and pass all the new exams. The interesting cases happen when you want to use some old and some new exams.

思科给了我们一个很好的轻松过渡计划,以新的CCNP语音。从本质上讲,你通过老任还是在四个明显的情况下,新的考试,他们甚至让老的QoS数(如果在时间的流逝),而不是新的CAPPS的考试。

Cisco Press Publication Plan

The good news is that, as before, Cisco Press plans to publish new editions of their existing Self Study Guides (SSG) and Quick Reference products for CVOICE, CIPT1, and CIPT2, along with Quick Reference products for TVOICE and CAPPS. The bad news is that it appears that neither TVOICE nor CAPPS will have a Self-Study Guide (SSG) or Official Certification Guide (OCG) for CAPPS.

It may be useful to consider some background on the style of products. The Quick Refs, a downloaded PDF, summarize reference info for each exam, about 100 pages (+-50%). The Self Study Guides (SSG) focus on foundational learning and are typically based on the material, examples, and diagrams from the Cisco authorized curriculum by the same name. Finally, Cisco Press makes an electronic version of these SSGs available early, for those who don't want to wait for the printed book, in a format called Rough Cuts. It's a download of the book, but before some of the final editing is done. So, it's rough... but you get it early.

So, here are the currently planned date ranges (varies slightly from product to product):

SSG Rough Cut dates (planned): December 2010

SSG Print dates (planned): April/May 2011

快速参考日期(计划):2011年1月

快速的意见

你怎么看?Hoorah,嗬嗡嗡声,哦不?

我真的希望思科将从5个考试缩小这个证书,以4 - 我仍然认为CCNP声音太大。

对不起,我难过的服务质量考试的消失。这似乎是重要的,只是没有整个考试的价值非常重要。那你家里人好吗?
