CCNP Enterprise: Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR)

This training course is designed to provide participants the relevant concepts and skills needed to configure, troubleshoot, and manage enterprise wired and wireless networks.

This course highlights topics such as implementing security principles, implementing automation and programmability within an enterprise network, and overlaying network design by using SD-Access and SD-WAN solutions.

This course will help participants prepare for 350-401 Implementing Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) exam, which is a part of the CCNP Enterprise Exam.

• Understand the hierarchical network design model and architecture using the access, distribution, and core layers
•  Know the difference and similarity of the various hardware and software switching mechanisms and operation, while defining the Ternary Content Addressable Memory (TCAM) and Content Addressable Memory (CAM), along with process switching, fast switching, and Cisco Express Forwarding concepts
• Troubleshoot Layer 2 connectivity using VLANs and trunking
• Implement redundant switched networks using Spanning Tree Protocol
• Troubleshoot link aggregation using Etherchannel
• Describe the features, metrics, and path selection concepts of Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)
• Implement and optimize of Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)v2 and OSPFv3, including adjacencies, packet types, and areas, summarization, and route filtering for IPv4 and IPv6
• Implement External Border Gateway Protocol (EBGP) interdomain routing, path selection, and single and dual-homed networking
• Implement network redundancy using protocols including Hot Standby Routing Protocol (HSRP) and Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)
• Implement internet connectivity within Enterprise using static and dynamic Network Address Translation (NAT)
• Define the virtualization technology of servers, switches, and the various network devices and components
• Implement overlay technologies such as Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF), Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE), VPN, and Location Identifier Separation Protocol (LISP)
• Identify the components and concepts of wireless networking including Radio Frequency (RF) and antenna characteristics, and define the specific wireless standards
