Cisco ENSLD Designing Cisco Enterprise Networks

Course Duration: 5 days

In this 5-day course, Designing Cisco Enterprise Networks (ENSLD), students will gain the knowledge and skills needed 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 will help students:

Prepare to take the exam, Designing Cisco Enterprise Networks v1.0 (ENSLD 300-420), which is part of the CCNP Enterprise and Cisco Certified Specialist - Enterprise Design certifications. The ENSLD 300-420 exam certifies your knowledge of enterprise design including advanced addressing and routing solutions, advanced enterprise campus networks, WAN, security services, network services, and SDA.

Prerequisites
