Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks Exam*
RETIRED
*Approved for VA reimbursement.
| |
The Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks exam is one exam within a series of exams required to achieve CCNP®, CCDP®, or CCIP™ certifications. This exam will also be accepted as a replacement for the Routing exam (640-603 RTING), since the content includes all topics for the Routing exam as well as additional information relevant to communications and services audiences.
