Cisco Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies v1.4 (ENCOR)

Over half of IT decision-makers say their current enterprise networks can’t support long-term innovation. As business demands outpace legacy infrastructure, engineers must master both traditional internetwork operations and next-gen solutions like SD-WAN, automation, and virtualization. The Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) v1.4 course gives you the knowledge and skills needed to install, configure, operate, and troubleshoot Cisco enterprise networks—from core routing and switching to wireless, security, automation, and overlay network design using Cisco SD-Access and SD-WAN solutions. This course prepares you for the 350-401 ENCOR exam, the core exam required for the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) Enterprise certification and Cisco Certified Specialist – Enterprise Core credential. It also supports certification prep for CCIE Enterprise Wireless, Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA), and ENARSI.
