Audience

Network engineers with CCNA experience pursuing the CCNP Enterprise specialization or the CCIE Enterprise track.

Learning objectives

  • Implement advanced EIGRP, multi-area OSPF, and BGP
  • Operate enterprise wireless (Wi-Fi 6, CAPWAP, FlexConnect)
  • Apply virtualization (VRF, GRE, IPsec, LISP, VXLAN)
  • Program automation with Python, Ansible, and data models (YANG/NETCONF/RESTCONF)

Prerequisites

To get the most from this course, we recommend prior mastery of the fundamentals covered in CCNA (Implementing and Administering Cisco Solutions (CCNA)) or equivalent knowledge acquired through professional experience or self-study. Holding the previous certification is not required — what matters is mastering the topics below:

  • Configure and verify VLANs, trunks, and Spanning Tree
  • Implement IPv4/IPv6 static routing and single-area OSPF
  • Operate WLAN fundamentals, security, and QoS
  • Understand automation, REST APIs, and tools (Ansible, Python, JSON)
