CCNP Enterprise Certification Study Guide (2020) - Page 19 preview imageIntroductionNetworking is uniquely challenging in that it's not a single technology,but a collection of interdependent technologies that every other aspectof IT depends on. Without networking, there are no connectedapplications and that means there are no IT employees. Even if you'renot sure that you want networking to become your permanent career,becoming an expert at networking will open the doors for other in-demand areas of IT, including security, software development, andcloud computing.Cisco's Professional Network CertificationsIn 2019, Cisco announced updates to its Cisco Certified NetworkProfessional (CCNP) certification program. There are six professionallevel certifications to choose from:CCNP EnterpriseCCNP Data CenterCCNP SecurityCCNP Service ProviderCCNP CollaborationCisco Certified DevNet ProfessionalEach certification requires passing one core exam and oneconcentration exam. The core exam for the CCNP Enterprisecertification is 350-401 ENCOR, “Implementing Cisco EnterpriseNetwork Core Technologies.” The concentration exams let you focuson a specific specialty, such as routing, wireless, network design,automation, or software-defined networking (SDN). Regardless of theconcentration exam you choose, you must pass the ENCOR exam toattain your CCNP Enterprise certification.Is CCNP Certification Right for You?
Page 20 of 31
CCNP Enterprise Certification Study Guide (2020) - Page 20 preview imageMany who attain the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) don'tgo on to pursue more advanced Cisco certifications. So why should youconsider the CCNP Enterprise certification, and is it right for you? Itmay be right for you ifYou have a passion for networking.You want to set yourself apart as someone who has a passion fortechnology and isn't just in it for the money (although there isplenty of that!).You want to specialize in security, wireless, network automation,cloud, or software-defined networking.You enjoy tweaking the “nerd knobs” on individual technologiesjust to see what will happen.You love facing and overcoming the challenges of troubleshooting.Study TipsBefore taking the CCNP ENCOR exam, there are a few things to keepin mind. There's no reason that you can't pass the exam the first time.To help you do that, I want to share with you some study tips that havehelped me pass several Cisco certification exams on the first try. Oneof the neglected skills required on any Cisco exam is speed. Being ableto troubleshoot a 10-router Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) topologyis good. Taking 15 minutes to do it is not so good. I can't stress enoughthe importance of spending quality time with the command-lineinterface (CLI). You should spend at least 50 percent of your studytime on configuring and troubleshooting a variety of topologies andtechnologies.There's an old Latin proverb that repetition is the mother of learning.Repetition—in terms of both study and practice—is going to be yourbest friend. Understanding networking requires making connectionsthat aren't always obvious, and the more you practice and study, themore opportunities your mind has to make those connections. Foryears I've used SuperMemo (https://super-memory.com), a flashcard-like program that lets you create your own question-and-answer pairs,quizzes you, and shows you how well you're retaining the information.
Page 21 of 31
CCNP Enterprise Certification Study Guide (2020) - Page 21 preview imageWhat makes SuperMemo superior to flashcards is that it identifies theinformation you've already retained, and it doesn't waste timecontinuing to quiz you on it. That means you can safely load yourcollection with hundreds of items while still using your timeefficiently.One last tip: As you read this study guide cover to cover, keep arunning list of questions and things you're not sure about. Chances areif you find something confusing, a lot of other people did too, and thatmakes it good fodder for the exam. Be sure to visithttps://benpiper.com/encor for book resources, updates, and errata.Prerequisites and Lab RequirementsThe CCNA certification isn't required to attain the CCNP Enterprisecertification. Nevertheless, I strongly recommend that you obtain yourCCNA certification or the equivalent experience before embarking onyour CCNP Enterprise journey. Refer to the CCNA exam blueprint(www.cisco.com/c/en/us/training-events/training-certifications/certifications/associate/ccna.html) for a full list of topicsyou should already be familiar with. Because the CCNP Enterprise is aprofessional-level certification, I don't review some of the basicscovered by the CCNA such as subnetting, IPv4, and IPv6 addressing.You'll need a virtual or physical lab, which you should already havefrom your previous networking studies. Your lab should be able tosupport at least eight routers and two layer 3 switches running IOSversion 15.2 or later. You should be able to configure your lab on yourown by looking at layer 2 and layer 3 diagrams. Topology diagramswill be included in each chapter.If your existing lab doesn't meet the requirement, Cisco VirtualInternet Routing Lab (http://virl.cisco.com) includes virtual machineimages for a variety of switches and routers. These images are virtualmachines that run using QEMU and are light on CPU and memory, soyou don't need a beast of a server to run simulations, although moreresources always help. Other options, although not blessed by Cisco,are GNS3 (https://gns3.com) and EVE-NG (www.eve-ng.net).

CCNP Enterprise Certification Study Guide (2020) - Page 22 preview imageHow to Use This BookHands-on experience is crucial for exam success. Each chapter in thisstudy guide contains hands-on exercises that you should strive tocomplete during or immediately after your reading of the chapter. Theexercises are there to test your understanding, and not to cover everypossible permutation of configurations. The exercises are yourfoundation, and you should build on them by experimenting withthem, breaking things, and then figuring out how to fix them.Each chapter contains review questions to thoroughly test yourunderstanding of the services and concepts covered in that chapter.They also test your ability to integrate the concepts with informationfrom preceding chapters. I've designed the questions to help yourealistically gauge your understanding and identify your blind spots.Once you complete the assessment in each chapter, referring to theanswer key will give you not only the correct answers but a detailedexplanation as to why they're correct. Even if you feel comfortable on acertain topic, resist the urge to skip over the pertinent chapter. Istrongly encourage you to carefully read this book from cover to coverso that you can discover your strengths and weaknesses—particularlythe ones you may not be aware of. Remember, even though you can'tlearn networking just by reading a book, it's equally true that you can'tlearnwithoutreading a book.The book also contains a self-assessment exam with 36 questions, twopractice exams with 50 questions each to help you gauge yourreadiness to take the exam, and flashcards to help you learn and retainkey facts needed to prepare for the exam.
