CCNP Enterprise Certification
For many years, candidates needed to pass the route, switch, and tshoot examinations in
order to get the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) Routing and Switching
certification. That's not the situation anymore. The CCNP Routing and Switching certification
has been superseded with the CCNP Enterprise certification. Candidates only need to pass
one core exam and one enterprise concentration test in order to obtain the CCNP Enterprise
certification.
What Does a CCNP Do?
The CCNP Enterprise designation is one of the most prestigious in the IT industry. If you
possess this qualification, employers will be able to tell that you are competent of building,
installing, configuring, and troubleshooting complex enterprise networks. By obtaining the
CCNP Enterprise certification, you can start working as a network engineer, systems
engineer, support engineer, or network technician right away.
How Much Can You Make with a CCNP?
The CCNP has numerous typical job titles, as well as a wide range of factors like location
and experience. A CCNP Enterprise can earn an average US annual salary of $50,000 to
well over $100,000. With the CCNP Enterprise certification, you'll be eligible for a variety of
jobs and have the possibility to make more money.
certification.
What is the Difference Between a CCNA and a CCNP?
One of the most well-known entry-level networking qualifications in the business is the Cisco
CCNA certification, which is obtained through a single exam. The CCNA is a foundational
exam that gives newcomers a solid understanding of how to operate IT equipment. A more
demanding certification, the Cisco CCNP Enterprise, necessitates a deeper level of familiarity
with and comprehension of the underlying technologies powering today's intricate networks.
Additionally, you will need to pass two tests.
Can I do CCNP without CCNA?
Absolutely. There are no official prerequisites for the CCNP Enterprise exam, which is
another notable shift to the new testing methodology. Although CCNA certification is no
longer essential, candidates should still be well-versed in technology before sitting for the
examinations.
Exams for CCNP Enterprise
To meet the requirements for the CCNP Enterprise certification, candidates must pass one of
the six CCNP Enterprise concentration exams in addition to the mandatory core exam. These
specialty tests concentrate on cutting-edge and sector-specific subjects like network
architecture, SD-WAN, wireless, and automation. Additionally, every CCNP Enterprise test
results in a separate Specialist certification, allowing you to be acknowledged for your
achievements.
Required Core exam:
Examining your understanding of enterprise infrastructure, including dual-stack (IPv4 and
IPv6) architecture, virtualization, infrastructure, network assurance, security, and automation,
is required for the Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies
350-401 (ENCOR) certification. The Cisco Certified Specialist - Enterprise Advanced
Infrastructure Implementation certification may be obtained by passing this exam.
Concentration exams (choose one):
Exam 300-410 Implementing Cisco Enterprise Advanced Routing and Services (ENARSI).
This exam measures your ability to troubleshoot and implement advanced routing
technologies and services such as EIGRP, BGP and MPLS. This exam is required to earn the
Cisco Certified Specialist Enterprise Advanced Infrastructure Implementation
Exam 300-415 (Implementing Cisco SDWAN Solutions 300-415) tests your knowledge about
Cisco's SDWAN solution. This includes SD-WAN architecture, controller deployment and
edge router deployment, security, multicast as well as management, operation, and
management. After passing this exam, you'll be awarded the Cisco Certified Specialist –
Enterprise SD-WAN implementation certification
Designing Cisco Enterprise Networks 300 -420 (ENSLD), tests your knowledge in enterprise
design. This includes advanced routing and addressing solutions, advanced enterprise
campus networks and WAN. It also covers security services and software defined access
(SDA). After passing this exam, you'll be awarded the Cisco Certified Specialist – Enterprise
Design certification.
Designing Cisco Enterprise Wireless Networks 300-425 exam (ENWLSD), tests your
knowledge about wireless network design. This includes site surveys, wireless infrastructure,
mobility, and high availability. You will be awarded the Cisco Certified Specialist – Enterprise
Wireless Design certificate after passing this exam.
The Implementing Cisco Enterprise WLAN Networks 300-430 exam (ENWLSI), tests your
knowledge about wireless network implementation. This includes FlexConnect, QoS and
advanced location services. Monitoring and device hardening are also included. This exam
will give you the Cisco Certified Specialist- Enterprise Wireless Implementation certification.
The Automating Cisco Enterprise Solutions 300-435 exam (ENAUTO), tests your ability to
implement enterprise-level automated solutions, including Python programming and
controllers. You will be awarded the Cisco Certified DevNet Specialist- Enterprise Automation
and Programmability certificate if you pass this exam.
CCNP Enterprise Exam Prep
The Cisco CCNA exam is a great way to prepare for CCNP certification. This exam, although
not necessary, will greatly help you to gain a technical understanding of the topics covered in
the Cisco Cisco CCNP. After you have a solid foundation, you can begin to understand the
advanced topics covered by the Enterprise exams. This will be done using Passyourcert
courses and Cisco technical books.
PassYourCert Courses
Passyourcert offers complete learning paths for many CCNP Enterprise Certifications. These
courses will equip you with the knowledge and skills to pass the Cisco CCNP Enterprise
ENCOR exam and other concentration exams.
Practice for the Exam
You can get hands-on experience using simulations, a work test bench, lab time purchases
from lab providers, building your lab, or scheduling Cisco to cloud resource access through
DevNet Sandbox. DevNet Sandboxes offer fully scripted and customizable environments
that can be accessed almost immediately in the cloud. Some engineers have access to work
test beds. This makes life easier and allows for practice within the working hour. Although
home labs are a good option, they can be expensive and make it difficult to replicate complex
networks. Cisco VIRL simulator runs the same operating system as physical routers and
switches. It is an exceptional tool.
Wrap-Up
I was once told by someone that Cisco CCNP exams don't go away. Some exams are more
difficult than others but they are well worth the effort. Preparing for a Cisco certification exam
can be difficult and time-consuming. We must be able to configure the content and
troubleshoot it to achieve our level of certification. You can give it your best shot once you're
ready. You can always rework it and try again. Persistency, persistence, and a positive
attitude are the keys to success in Cisco exams.
