Return to Prove your skills with complex enterprise infrastructure solutions from designing and deploying to operating and optimising.
Take your place as a technical expert by achieving the Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) Enterprise Infrastructure certification.
To earn your certification, you’ll take a core exam and one lab exam.
Core Exam
Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies.
Lab Exam
CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure Lab Exam.
The Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) learning path provides you with the knowledge and skills needed to install, configure, operate, and troubleshoot an enterprise network.
It introduces you to overlay network design through SD-Access and SD-WAN solutions and teaches you to implement security principles and automation and programmability within an enterprise network.
This learning path helps prepare you to take the 350-401 ENCOR exam, which is part of the CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure and CCIE Enterprise Wireless certifications. This version is aligned to the updated version of the 350-401 exam, version 1.1.
