The CCNP Routing and Switching track was retired in February 2020 and replaced by the broader CCNP Enterprise certification. 

Cisco now uses a core exam plus one concentration exam, streamlining the process compared to the old three-exam model. 

A CCNA-certified professional in the U.S. can expect an average annual salary between $75 k and $87 k, roughly $39.45 per hour. That works out to about $6,400–$7,200 monthly, depending on experience and location.  

Under the old CCNP Routing and Switching program, there were three exams, Route (300‑101), Switch (300‑115), and Tshoot (300‑135), each costing US $300, so the total exam fees came to $900. This does not include study materials or training expenses.

Master Network Switching

  Cisco CCNP Routing and Switching 300‑115 course gives you a solid introduction to enterprise-level LAN and multilayer switching, covering VLANs, STP, and EtherChannel.
