The Cisco Designated VIP program recognizes the top external individual contributors in Cisco's online communities, including Cisco Community, Cisco Learning Network (CLN) and the Cisco Developers Network (CDN). Cisco Designated VIPs are recognized by their peers for their expertise and tireless contributions, and their abundant participation is vital to community success. With this program, Cisco formally recognizes the positive, valuable influence our top individual members exert on the communities overall.
