Course Objective & Scope
Multi-site enterprise networks and data centres require sophisticated routing policies, dual-ISP resilience and hitless failover mechanisms. Covering CCNP Enterprise (ENCOR and ENARSI) topics, this advanced programme addresses the design, configuration and deep troubleshooting of large-scale networks.
Multi-area OSPF and EIGRP tuning, eBGP/iBGP and path attributes, route maps and redistribution, VRFs, MPLS L3VPN, DMVPN/IPsec, SD-WAN and SD-Access architecture, and Python/NETCONF automation are practised in lab scenarios. Participants validate designs and resolve faults on an enterprise core topology.
Who Should Attend?
- Senior network engineers and enterprise network architects
- Data centre, service provider or WAN operations teams
- Network specialists preparing for the CCNP Enterprise exams
- Prerequisite: CCNA-level routing and switching experience
Key Takeaways
- Configure summarisation, stub areas and fast convergence in multi-area OSPF and EIGRP
- Implement BGP peering and traffic engineering across Internet and WAN links
- Prevent routing loops using route maps, prefix lists and controlled redistribution
- Design secure multi-tenant WAN topologies with VRFs, GRE/IPsec, DMVPN and SD-WAN
- Harden and monitor the core with CoPP, AAA, 802.1X and telemetry/NETCONF tools
