Hands-On CCNP ENCOR - Implementing and Operating CISCO Enterprise Network Core Technologies On-Site or Virtual Live Instructor-led

Course Description

The course will prepare you for the Implementing Cisco Enterprise Advanced Routing and Services (300-410 ENARSI) exam, which leads to the new CCNP Enterprise and Cisco Certified Specialist Enterprise Advanced Infrastructure Implementation certifications.

This course gives you the knowledge and skills needed to configure, troubleshoot, and manage wired and wireless Cisco enterprise networks.

The ENCOR - Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies course gives you the knowledge and skills needed to configure, troubleshoot, and manage enterprise wired and wireless networks. Youll also learn to implement security principles within an enterprise network and how to overlay network design by using solutions such as SD-Access and SD-WAN.

This course will help you
Configure, troubleshoot, and manage enterprise wired and wireless networks
Implement security principles within an enterprise network
Prepare you to take the 350-401 Implementing Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) exam which is the first of two courses required to earn your CCNP Certification.
