Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) v1.0

The Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) v1.0 course gives you the knowledge and skills needed to configure, troubleshoot, and manage enterprise wired and wireless networks.

You’ll also learn to implement security principles within an enterprise network and how to overlay network design by using solutions such as SD-Access and SD-WAN.

This course helps you prepare to take the 350-401 ENCOR exam, which is part of four new certifications:

• CCNP Enterprise
• CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure
• CCIE Enterprise Wireless
• Cisco Certified Specialist – Enterprise Core

Course Objectives

After taking this course, you should be able to:

• Illustrate the hierarchical network design model and architecture using the access, distribution, and core layers
• Compare and contrast hardware and software switching mechanisms and operation, while defining the ternary content addressable memory (TCAM) and CAM
• Troubleshoot Layer 2 connectivity using VLANs and trunking
• Implement redundant switched networks using Spanning Tree Protocol
• Describe the features, and path selection concepts of EIGRP
• Implement and optimize OSPFv2 and OSPFv3
• Implement External Border Gateway Protocol (EBGP) interdomain routing, path selection, and single and dual-homed networking
• Implement internet connectivity within Enterprise using static and dynamic Network Address Translation (NAT)
• Implement overlay technologies such as Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF), Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE), VPN, and Location Identifier Separation Protocol (LISP)
• Describe how APs communicate with WLCs to obtain software, configurations, and centralized management
• Configure and verify Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), WebAuth, and Pre-shared Key (PSK) wireless client authentication on a WLC
• Troubleshoot Enterprise networks using services such as Network Time Protocol (NTP), Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Cisco IOS IP service level agreements (SLAs), NetFlow, and Cisco IOS Embedded Event Manager
• Implement scalable administration using Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA)
• Explain the purpose, function, features, and workflow of Cisco Digital Network Architecture (Cisco DNA) Center
• Describe the components and features of the Cisco SD-Access solution
• Define the components and features of Cisco SD-WAN solutions
• Describe the concepts and features of quality of service (QoS)
• Explain basic Python components and conditionals with script writing and analysis
• Describe network programmability protocols such as Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) and Representational State Transfer Configuration Protocol (RESTCONF)
