Course Description

The instructor-led Designing Cisco Enterprise Networks (ENSLD) training course promotes Cisco solutions in advanced addressing and routing solutions, advanced enterprise campus networks, WAN, security and network services, and Software-Defined Access.

This course prepares students for the Cisco CCNP Enterprise exam – ENSLD. Passing this exam along with the CCNP Enterprise core exam will earn students the Cisco CCNP Enterprise certification.
