Overview of changes to CCNP Routing and Switching courses
New CCNP Routing and Switching courses (ROUTE v2.0, SWITCH v2.0 and TSHOOT v2.0) include major updates and follow an updated blueprint. Some older topics have been removed or simplified, while several new IPv6 routing topics have been added. Content has been adapted to Cisco IOS Software Release 15 and technically updated. The courses also introduce new type of labs, called discovery labs. Details of the content updates can be seen below.
