Cisco Routing & Switching Certification Migration
The Cisco Routing and Switching certification path had not been updated for a while and was missing coverage in areas such as software defined networking, automation and programming. The new Cisco Enterprise certification path incorporates these technologies whilst bringing wireless and design under the same umbrella.
Some of the exams you completed for the old Routing and Switching certifications may still help you to transition to the new CCNA or the new CCNP Enterprise Certifications.
See what your existing exams translate to:
CCNA Routing and Switching to CCNA
| Exams Taken | Value in New Program |
Required to Achieve New CCNA |
|---|---|---|
| ICND1 | Nothing | 200-301 CCNA |
| ICND2 | Training Badge | 200-301 CCNA |
| ICND1 + ICND2 | New CCNA | Nothing |
| CCNAX | New CCNA | Nothing |
CCNP Routing and Switching to CCNP Enterprise
The new programme has seen the removal of prerequisites for the achievement of certifications, so you will not need to have a CCNA certification to become CCNP certified.

(Design, Deploy, Operate and Optimize)
