Your understanding of corporate architecture, including
virtualization, networking assurance, infrastructure,
automation, security, IPv4 and IPv6 design will be
assessed in the core exam. This is the CCNP ENCOR
syllabus in its entirety you can concentrate your
professional career on a certain field of expertise, such as
wireless, automation, SD-WAN or the core network by
taking a specialization exam.
4. For network engineers who oversee and manage service
provider networks, the CCNP Service Provider certification
is intended. Broadband access networks (like DSL/Cable),
metro Ethernet networks, optical transport networks (like
DWDM) and mobile networks (like 4G/5G) are some
examples of these networks.
The aforementioned accreditation functions as an
endorsement of the person's proficiency in providing
service provider solutions. You must pass two different
tests and show your skill in order to receive this
