CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure Certification and Training

CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure Certification is the highest and most prestigious certification from Cisco. It ranks No. 1 in the 10 Most Difficult IT Certifications list, and is highly-valued worldwide. A CCIE certified individual is an elite title in the field of network engineering, proving their mastery in their domain of Cisco networking. The CCIE Enterprise Certified experts have the required knowledge and skills for the field, including dual-stack(IPv4 and IPv6) architecture, virtualization, infrastructure, network assurance, security, and automation. The quality of the program, the testing methods, and the relevance of this certification enhances its value. At IP Rulers, the classes are facilitated by CCIE Enterprise certified and experienced instructors, and students will be exposed to the latest equipments with grouped as well as one-to-one classes and online tutorials that could be scheduled for weekdays or weekends in accordance to the students’ choice, IP Rulers is fast becoming a leading name in Dubai in providing highly valued Cisco Certificates with a significant pass rate on the first attempt.

Course Details

CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure certification is the avatar of core knowledge and practical skills in the management of the most complex scenarios of the entire IT Enterprise Infrastructure of a network lifecycle (Designing, Deploying, Operating & Optimizing). IP Rulers provide CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure training just as per the course described by the Cisco Security Certification blueprint.

The new method adapted for CCIE Exam is given below, which have vital parts known as Design, Deploy, Operate & Optimize.

The CCIE Enterprise certification is achieved with two exams:

 

STEP 1:

350-401 ENCOR: Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies

The 120-minute, Implementing and Operating Cisco Enterprise Core Technologies v1.0 (ENCOR 350-401) exam is associated with the CCNP Enterprise, Cisco Certified Specialist (with core subject Enterprise), and CCIE Enterprise Certifications. It tests a candidate’s knowledge of enterprise infrastructure including dual-stack(IPv4 and IPv6) architecture, virtualization, infrastructure, network assurance, security, and automation. Clearing this exam gives a Specialist Certification, so as to recognize all accomplishments of the candidate.

STEP2:

CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure v1.0 Lab Exam

The 8-hour Cisco CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure (v1.0) Practical Exam is a hands-on exam that requires a candidate to plan, design, deploy, operate, and optimize network security solutions according to the given scenarios.

CCIE Lab Exam summary


CCIE lab exam has two modules. Module 1 will be a 3-hour, scenario-based session, which will discuss the Design part. Module 2 will be a 5-hour session to discuss Deploy, Operate & Optimize parts of the exam.

CCIE Exam Score Evaluation :

Candidates who score higher than the aggregated pass score of both modules and also higher than the minimum score set on each individual module, clear the exam.
