Answer 2

You have it right. After you pass the CCNA, you'll have to take and pass these next four exams. After you pass the final one, you will be a CCNP. Incidentally, consider following that up with a CCDA and CCDP (two more exams) to really round out your education.

And when you've finally gotten sick of Cisco's trick questions and horrible wording, look into a Juniper certification. I got my CCNP and CCDP in 2001 and have been in networking for 11 years and I still found the JNCIA (Juniper's associate level certification) fairly challenging.

Answer 3

you need to pass all 4 exams only, there is no more exams.

as son as you pass the 4rt you are CCNP (Cisco Certifies Network Professional)
