The JNCIP-SP exam is JN0-664, and it costs $500 to take. However, just because the Juniper JNCIP-SP: Service Provider Routing and Switching Professional exam costs $500 doesn’t mean that’s what the certification will cost you. The JNCIP-SP has prerequisite exams: the JNCIS-SP and JNCIA-Junos which cost $200 and $300 respectively.

Is Juniper JNCIP-SP: Service Provider Routing and Switching Professional worth it?

For certain people, the JNCIP-SP is worth it, but not everyone.
