Overview
The Designing Cisco Enterprise Networks (ENSLD) training gives you the knowledge and skills you need to design an enterprise network. This training serves as a deep dive into enterprise network design and expands on the topics covered in the Implementing and Operating Cisco® Enterprise Network Core Technologies (ENCOR) v1.0 training. Topics covered include enterprise network design, including protocols and media for wired and wireless networks, SD-Access, VPN, Quality of Service (QoS), IPv6, and network programmability.
