Demonstrate your knowledge of network automation to improve efficiency, reduce human error, and lower operating expenses. Automate everyday network tasks and automatically manage and control repetitive processes to deliver tangible service improvements.
The CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure certification sits near the top of Cisco's pyramid of certifications and knowledge, and represents the pinnacle of a network engineer's efforts at mastery over their career field. A network engineer looking to earn their CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure will need to pass the qualifying exam, 350-401, and the lab exam, CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure v1.0.
The exam tests your knowledge of enterprise networking infrastructures. Passing it is difficult and requires deep knowledge of advanced enterprise network concepts like Layer 2 connectivity, Spanning Tree Protocol, External Border Gateway Protocol, and much more. The lab will test your comfort and familiarity with working with those concepts in a real-world setting.
This CCIE Enterprise training is considered Expert-level Cisco training, which means it was designed for network engineers. This advanced network infrastructure course will validate the extensive experience most network engineers have with Cisco infrastructure.
Video training course to prepare you for the CCNP ENCOR v1.1 exam. Please take this course after or alongside the CCNP ENCOR primer course. The CCNP exams are now qualifying you for CCIE labs so this will give you a head-start for your advanced studies.
The Cisco CCNP is a high-level IT certification which allows you to work in senior network support and design positions. You can plan, configure and support advanced network services and protocols or consider becoming a freelance IT consultant.
The ENCOR exam focuses on your knowledge of enterprise infrastructure including dual-stack (IPv4 and IPv6) architecture, virtualization, infrastructure, network assurance, security, and automation. This core exam qualifies you to sit the CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure and CCIE Enterprise Wireless practical lab certifications.
