CCVP Cisco Certification UPDATED to CCNP Voice

思科公司今天宣布与各种专业级别的认证程序相当大的变化。思科认证语音专家（CCVP）已更名为CCNP语音。该CCIP认证已经更名为CCNP服务提供商，和CCSP已更名为CCNP安全。全球知识将更新其所有的课程，以对齐到新的CCNP语音认证。全球知识类的超链接可以在这个博客的末尾。所有在这个博客中使用的类/测试缩略语可在www.cisco.com/go/certifications进行研究。年长的CCVP认证测试不会退役，直到11年2月28日。如果你已经开始了CCVP认证，我建议做一些直接的目标设定和行动计划。思科教师必须通过他们在教练的成绩。他们每次教课上所教的任何类的测试。之后我通过他们在这个博客，我会分享我的每门考试的经验。 Let's talk about the previous and current CCVP certifications.... The soon to be retired CCVP consisted of 5 exams after meeting the CCNA Voice prerequisite. Since CCNA Voice is a prerequisite, let's talk about that cert first... The CCNA Voice can be obtained by passing either the IIUC or CVOICE exam after achieving the CCNA certification. You do not have to be a CCNA to take any of the CCVP or CCNA Voice tests, but you cannot call yourself a CCVP until you pass the CCNA prerequisite. Since the CVOICE test is one of the five required tests towards the CCVP, I normally recommend skipping the IIUC test. The IIUC test has a lot of content that overlapped with the CVOICE class with a focus on the SMB (small & medium business) market. IIUC covered CUCME and the UC500 platforms which are not covered in CVOICE, but most of the voice fundamentals and dial peer configurations overlapped with CVOICE content. IIUC no longer exists and the CVOICE will NOT count towards the CCNA Voice in the new certification track. CCNA Voice requires the ICOMM test. No other test can take its place. ICOMM is a new course/test that covers administration basics of Cisco Unified Communications Manger (CUCM), Cisco Unity Connection (CUC), and the Cisco Unified Presence Server. Here's the CCVP tests that were required for the CCVP: CVOICE QoS CIPT1 CIPT2 TUC The CCNP Voice certification requires the following courses/tests: CVOICE CIPT1 CIPT2 CAPPS TVOICE Let’s discuss some changes made to these classes/tests. The new CVOICE class/test is referred to as CVOICE version 8 (v8). The new CVOICE class covers most material that was covered in the previous CVOICE class, but some voice fundamentals were moved into the ICOMM prerequisite. The biggest change in CVOICE is the introduction of Quality of Service (QoS). The QoS test requirement was replaced by CAPPS, but a lot of content from the QoS class has now been put into the CVOICE class. The new CIPT1 class/test (v8) is similar to the last version. There are not any considerable changes in this class that I noticed, but content has been moved between ICOMM, CIPT1, and CIPT2. I’ve been teaching the CIPT1 class for over 9 years now. Content typically gets moved between CIPT1 and CIPT2 in revisions to meet the new course objectives. The new CIPT2 class/test (v8) is similar to the last version. One considerable change is the removal of the encryption module. I welcome this change because most of my students working in telephony were not interested in 200 pages of encryption, security theory in the CIPT2 class. Death by Powerpoint? The hole from security has been filled with the CCD/SAF (call control discovery / service advertisement framework) dynamic call routing database protocol. The CCD/SAF feature requires CUCM 8.0 and Cisco IOS 15.1(2T) on the routed network. CCD/SAF is a dynamic routing protocol that will announce call routing database information dynamically over the infrastructure. CAPPS is a brand new class which covers messaging and presence. The Cisco Unity Connection (CUC), Cisco Unity Express (CUE), and Cisco Unified Presence (CUP) products are covered in this course/test. TVOICE is a re-branded version of the CCVPv6 TUC (Troubleshooting Unified Communications) course. This course was originally called IPTT (IP Telephony Troubleshooting) in the CCVPv4 certification. The CCNP Voice certification represents the third professional voice certification update by Cisco. The TVOICE class content has been changed considerably to reflect troubleshooting of newer features, while maintaining the same signaling and media challenges in previous versions of the course. All of the courses and tests have been updated to align with the Cisco UC version 8.x products.
