CCNP Enterprise Core Networking (ENCOR) v8 Lab Manual

CCNP Enterprise: Core Networking (ENCOR) v8 Lab Manual, 2nd Edition

CCNP Enterprise: Core Networking

This is the fist part to the CCNP Enterprise Certification.  This lab manual covers switching, routing, wireless, and related security topics along with the technologies that support software-defined, programmable networks. This course directly prepares for the Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies exam (350-401 ENCOR) to earn an Enterprise Core Specialist certification. Passing both the ENCOR 350-401 and ESARSI 300-410 in the CCNP Enterprise course series awards the CCNP Enterprise certification. This lab manual contains 37 labs listed in the table of contents below:
