CCNP Enterprise Advanced Routing (300-410)

CCNP Enterprise Advanced Routing (300-410) focuses on advanced enterprise networking skills, and the 300-410 exam specifically covers advanced routing concepts.

The CCNP Enterprise certification validates a candidate's knowledge of enterprise networking solutions. Candidates need to pass two examinations to get the CCNP Enterprise certification: one covering fundamental enterprise technologies and one enterprise concentration exam of their choice. The core exam tests your knowledge of enterprise infrastructure, including dual-stack architecture (IPv4 and IPv6), security, and automation. Concentration tests cover subjects like network architecture, SD-WAN, wireless, and automation that are new to the market.
