Cisco CCNP Enterprise Certification
Cisco CCNP Enterprise engineers are usually found in third-tier support or consulting roles. They can plan, install, configure, and troubleshoot large networks.
The CCNP Enterprise exams test your knowledge of advanced routing and redistribution, spanning tree, security, high availability, troubleshooting, and more.
This course prepares for the following two exams:
- 350-401 – ENCOR
- 300-410 – ENARSI
Cisco CCNP Enterprise Certification Training
The Cisco exams are notoriously difficult. You have to configure and troubleshoot multiple protocols, services, and technologies in a complex environment. The new exams cover a broad range of topics, and the CCNP ENCOR now qualifies you to take the CCIE lab practical test.
Use our live Cisco racks to configure all the labs or copy our topology into your home rack or GNS3. Every lab tackles one main and several sub-topics such as EIGRP with NAT or access lists. The course finished with challenging multi-technology labs. All labs have solutions and the troubleshooting labs have downloadable configurations and solutions.
You cover topics such as IPv6 addressing, EIGRP, OSPF and OSPFv3, BGP, SNMP, GRE, Multicast, Redistribution, RIP, VTP, VLANS, STP and much more. Every lab is a deep dive into the subject so you get a good understanding and prepare yourself for the exams.
This course is 100% hands-on training. If you need to study for the Cisco CCNP ENCOR or ENARSI, please check out our sister website howtonetwork.com. You should allow at least 3-6 months preparation time per exam, so ensure you have the time to dedicate to these exams.
Follow along with our experts as we configure and troubleshoot all of the CCNP-level services and protocols. There are more than $400 worth of Cisco CCNP practice tests included to guarantee your success come exam day.
