How much networking is covered in the CCSP?

Will taking the CCSP, teach you some CCNP stuff as well? I read some of Ten9t6's responses regarding this. I know he said to get the CCNP first as it will make the CCSP easier. Is this because there are some CCNP topics in the CCSP track?

I looked over the test objectives for each CCNP exam. It seems as if it expands (in greater detail obviously) of what the CCNA taught?

Any thoughts, suggestions or comments welcome
Thanks

Thats exactly right CCNP is just a more advanced level of CCNA, a lot of the terms are from CCNA yet explored in more depth.

CCSP is a whole different kettle of fish, after CCNA and CCDA I wanted to do CCSP but decided CCNP+CCDP was the best option first.

Although doing CCNP first will make it easier, Theres no reason why you cant go to CCSP the only pre req is CCNA, although doing something like Security+ might be a good base to start also.
