The ENCOR portion of this course prepares you to implement and operate modern enterprise wired networks. You will build skills across campus architecture, switching and redundancy, OSPF and BGP routing, network services and VPNs, infrastructure security, and software-defined networking with LISP, VXLAN, SD-Access, and SD-WAN.
The ENSLD portion shifts from implementation to design. It focuses on addressing and routing plans, resilient campus and WAN architecture, quality of service, multicast, automation, telemetry, and software-defined access and WAN design.
This bundle supports preparation for the Cisco 350-401 ENCOR v1.2 exam and the Cisco 300-420 ENSLD v1.1 exam. Vouchers for both exams are included with enrollment, subject to eligibility and voucher policies.
