CSCO 651 CCNP Enterprise: Core Networking

This course teaches students how to implement, monitor, and maintain routing and switching services in an enterprise network. Students will learn how to plan, configure, and verify the implementation of complex enterprise LAN and WAN routing solutions, using a range of routing protocols in IPv4 and IPv6 environments. The course includes implementation of core enterprise network technologies including dual stack (IPv4 and IPv6) architecture, virtualization, infrastructure, network assurance, security, and automation. Comprehensive labs emphasize hands-on learning and practice to reinforce configuration skills. The course prepares students to take the Implementing Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR 350-401) certification exam.

Course Objectives

1. Implement advanced switching services in an enterprise network including Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), VLAN Trunks, and EtherChannel Bundles.
2. Implement dynamic routing protocols for IPv4 and IPv6 in enterprise networks including Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), OSPF, and BGP.
3. Understand and explain multicast operation and Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms in enterprise networks.
4. Configure IP services for managed networks that provide redundancy, and address translation and synchronization including NTP, HSRP, and NAT.
5. Configure overlay tunnels to secure site-to-site and remote access connectivity including GRE, IPsec, LISP, and VXLAN.
6. Understand and explain wireless signals and modulation, wireless infrastructure, wireless roaming and location services, and authenticating wireless clients.
7. Understand and explain enterprise network architecture and fabric technologies including software defined wide area network (SD-WAN).
8. Configure network access control using tools and features that provide device and infrastructure security.
9. Understand and explain the purpose and characteristics of network and server virtualization.
10. Understand and explain common network programmabilty concepts and programmatic methods of management.
