If this hasn't already been addressed... I think it replaces the security specialization of the CCNP, with its own distinct certification. Meaning, there will still be a CCNP, but no CCNP+Security. CCNP+Security will be replaced with the Cisco Security Specialist (CSS?) At least, that's how I read it. -Jarrett -----Original Message----- From: perryb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 12, 2001 10:45 AM To: MIRSKY Carl; 'Arthur Stewart'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Changes in the Cisco certification structure for CCNA & CCNP Specializations Hi all, I just looked at this linke and on the first page, saw this: "As of February 12, 2001, new Cisco Security Specialist and Cisco SNA/IP Specialist designations replace the former CCNP and CCDP Specializations." Am I reading thsi right? Thid *does* say that the CSP and CSNA/IP *does* REPLACE the CCNP and CCDP - doesn't it? How can this be? P.S. If that is not what it clearly states, then maybe that is one of the many reasons that I can't pass that darn CCIE written :-( --perry _________________________________ FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
