Implementing Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies v1.0 (ENCOR 350-401) is associated with the CCNP Enterprise, CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure, CCIE Enterprise Wireless, and Cisco Certified Specialist - Enterprise Core certifications. This training expands candidate's knowledge of implementing core enterprise network technologies including dual stack (IPv4 and IPv6) architecture, virtualization, infrastructure, network assurance, security and automation. The course, Implementing Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies, helps candidates prepare for this exam.

• 1.0 Architecture

  Candidates will learn the different design principles used in an enterprise network, analyze design principles of a WLAN deployment, differentiate between on-premises and cloud infrastructure deployments amongst other things.

• 2.0 Virtualization

  Candidates will learn about device virtualization technologies and also be taught how to configure and verify data path virtualization technologies.

• 3.0 Infrastructure

  Emphasis will be laid on configuring and troubleshooting basic concepts of layer 2 switching and predicting the data flow and understanding, configuring and troubleshooting routing protocols for IPV4 and IPV6. Topics like OSPF (single and multi-area) and EIGRP (load balancing, equal and unequal).

• 4.0 Network Assurance

  Participants will learn how to diagnose network problems using tools such as debugs, conditional debugs, trace route, ping, SNMP, and syslog.

• 5.0 Security

  Candidates will learn how to configure and verify device access control, lines and password protection, authentication and authorization using AAA.

• 6.0 Automation

  Interpret basic Python components and scripts, Construct valid JSON encoded file, describe the high-level principles and benefits of a data modeling language, such as YANG, Describe APIs for Cisco DNA Center and vManage etc.

The Cisco CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure (v1.0) Practical Exam is an eight-hour, hands-on exam that requires a candidate to plan, design, deploy, operate, and optimize dual stack solutions (IPv4 and IPv6) for complex enterprise networks. Candidates are expected to program and automate the network within their exam, as per exam topics below.
