350-401 ENCOR written, then the CCIE EI lab practice examsIn development
CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure
Cisco expert benchmark, a qualifying written exam and an eight-hour hands-on lab: total command of routing and switching diagnosed by pattern and reasoned from principle, OSPF, EIGRP, IS-IS and BGP with redistribution and path-selection subtleties, and structured troubleshooting that changes one thing at a time; then the SD-Access identity-based campus fabric with VXLAN and LISP, SD-WAN at expert depth with complex policy and cross-plane troubleshooting, the multicast, QoS, NAT, IPv6 and security services whose faults live in their interaction, and NETCONF, YANG, telemetry and DNA Center automation.
What you get
Papers are cut from the bank and weighted like the real exam, and no question appears in two of them. Every wrong answer comes back on later days until you have it right.
