VMware Certified Professional 6 - Network Virtualization (VCP6-NV)
VMware created the VCP6-NV exam so you can proof that you are able to install, configure, and administer a vSphere data center virtualized with VMware NSX, demonstrating creation and administration of a virtual network including Layer 2 switching and both static and dynamic Layer 3 routing, virtual network devices, and edge services such as DHCP, DNS, and NAT.
There are two ways to get this certification. The first is the ‘regular’ one. You take a required course (for example the NSX Install, Configure and Manage ). After that you take two tests:
If you area already a CCIE you can skip the course. Just turn in the proof for one of the following:
- CCNA Data Center
- CCNA Routing & Switching
- CCNP Data Center
- CCNP Routing & Switching
- CCIE Data Center
- CCIE Routing & Switching
You still have to take the vSphere 6 Foundation exam and the VMware vSphere 6 Networking Virtualization exam .
Next to the official study guide there are also a couple of personal study guides.
