ENSLD: Designing Cisco Enterprise Networks

Description

Duration: 5 days

About this Course

The Designing Cisco Enterprise Networks (ENSLD) v1.1 course gives you the knowledge and skills you need to design an enterprise network. This course serves as a deep dive into enterprise network design and expands on the topics covered in the Implementing and Operating Cisco® Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) v1.0 course.

This course also helps you prepare to take the 300-420 Designing Cisco Enterprise Networks (ENSLD) exam which is part of the CCNP® Enterprise and Cisco Certified Specialist – Enterprise Design certifications.

How you’ll benefit This course will help you:

  • Learn the skills, technologies, and best practices needed to design an enterprise network
  • Deepen your understanding of enterprise design including advanced addressing and routing solutions, advanced enterprise campus networks, WAN, security services, network services, and software-defined access SDA
  • Validate your knowledge and prepare to take the 300-420 Designing Cisco Enterprise Networks (ENSLD) exam
    Earn 40 CE credits toward recertification

What to expect in the exam The 300-420 ENSLD exam certifies your knowledge of enterprise design including advanced addressing and routing solutions, advanced enterprise campus networks, WAN, security services, network services, and SDA.

After you pass the 300-420 ENSLD exam:

  • You earn the Cisco Certified Specialist – Enterprise Design certification
  • You will have satisfied the concentration exam requirement for the new CCNP Enterprise certification. To complete your CCNP Enterprise certification, you must pass the 350-401 Implementing Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) exam or its equivalent
