In the rapidly evolving world of IT certifications, few names command the same level of respect as INE (Expert Network Training). Known for producing the industry’s most rigorous, deep-dive content for Cisco certifications, INE has long been the go-to resource for engineers who refuse to simply "brain dump" their way to a pass.
Among their vast library, one specific product carries a mythical status among network engineers who studied between 2015 and 2019: the INE CCNP R&S v2 -2015- HQ course, instructed by Keith Bogart.
Even though Cisco has moved on to the CCNP Enterprise track (implementing major changes in February 2020), the 2015 version of the CCNP Route/Switch (ROUTE 300-101 & SWITCH 300-115) taught by Keith Bogart is still referenced in forums, study groups, and Discord servers. Why? Because the "why" behind networking hasn't changed, and Bogart’s teaching style is legendary. INE CCNP R S v2 -2015- HQ By Keith Bogart
Subject: INE CCNP R&S v2.0 (2015) – Instructor: Keith Bogart Format: High-Quality (HQ) Video Series Era: Pre-Cisco DevNet, Pre-SDN Overthrow
The 2015 series integrates troubleshooting into every module. Keith has "fault insertion" labs where he shows you a broken configuration, runs a show command, and walks through the logic tree to find the error. This is the single most valuable component for real-world jobs. In the rapidly evolving world of IT certifications,
If you have the INE CCNP R&S v2 -2015- HQ By Keith Bogart collection, you possess roughly 80-100 hours of raw, unfiltered networking education. Here is a module-by-module analysis.
In 2015, streaming high-quality video was still a challenge. INE’s "HQ" meant: You could watch Bogart configure a complex DMVPN
You could watch Bogart configure a complex DMVPN tunnel, then pause the video, open your own GNS3 topology (or INE’s rack rental), and follow along exactly. The "sync" between video and lab workbook was flawless.
Unlike the high-energy, animated style of Jeremy Cioara (CBT Nuggets), Keith Bogart’s approach is deliberate and forensic.
