CCNP Enterprise Complete Learning Bundle: ENCOR 350-401 + ENARSI 300-410

ENCOR 350-401 is a broad exam, and most study material handles that breadth by

going shallow.

This book does the opposite. Every technology in the blueprint is shown as a complete, production-shaped configuration, with the show output that proves it works, an explanation of what each non-obvious line defends against, and the failure modes you will actually meet — plus the exact output that identifies each one.

It covers all six domains in blueprint order, 49 sub-sections mapped one-to-one onto Cisco's topic list, so you always know which line of the blueprint you are reading about. It is written for version 1.2: all wireless content is gone, Domain 6 is Automation and Artificial Intelligence, multicast now covers SSM, bidirectional PIM and MSDP, and every product name is current. An appendix sets out every change from v1.1, so you know exactly what older material gets wrong.

What you get:

- 511 pages covering all six exam domains, in blueprint order

- 49 sub-sections, each mapped to a specific blueprint topic

- Complete configurations with matching verification output, not fragments

- 245 knowledge-check questions, every one with an explanation that also says why the wrong answers are wrong

- 47 diagrams, drawn for the relationships that are hard to hold in your head

- A command quick reference covering every domain

- A ten-week study plan and a guide to building a practice lab

- An exam-day strategy chapter and a 90-term glossary

Written for engineers who intend to keep the knowledge after the exam.

Free 40-page sample available, including two complete sub-sections.

Most engineers do not fail ENARSI because they never read about redistribution, DMVPN or CoPP. They fail because the exam shows them something that is broken — an output, a configuration, a log — and asks why. Eighteen of the twenty-five blueprint lines begin with the word Troubleshoot. This book is built for exactly that.

The ENARSI 300-410 v1.1 Complete Learning Guide takes you from CCNA-level knowledge to the confidence to read any routing, VPN, security or services exhibit and find the cause. Every topic is explained from first principles before it is configured, nothing from the blueprint is assumed knowledge, and everything runs on one consistent Reference Lab — the same headquarters, branches, Internet providers and MPLS core from the first page to the last. An output in Chapter 4 can be read with everything you learned in Chapter 1.

• Complete, lab-ready configurations — never fragments. Every listing shows the prompt and mode, every non-obvious line is explained, and when a feature spans two routers, both are shown.
• Verification that teaches. Realistic output follows every configuration, and the text points to the exact line that proves it works.
• Troubleshooting, failure by failure. Each sub-section breaks its own topic in the ways real networks break: symptom, the output that reveals it, the cause and the fix.
• One Reference Lab that grows with you. Static routing in Chapter 0 becomes EIGRP, OSPF and BGP with redistribution, then an IPsec-protected Phase 3 DMVPN, then a secured and fully monitored enterprise.
• Trouble Tickets for every chapter — broken scenarios with the outputs you would collect and complete solutions.
• 175 Knowledge Check questions with a full explanation of why each right answer is right and each wrong answer is wrong.
• Practice beyond the exam: a capstone project that onboards a new branch end to end with verification gates and fault-injection drills, and ten incidents from production enterprise networks — BGP and MTU, EIGRP stuck-in-active, redistribution loops, NHRP registration failures, CoPP dropping BGP, AAA lockouts and more.
• More than 40 original diagrams, comparison tables for every topic that has defaults or orders of operation, a command quick reference, a glossary and a full index.

• Chapter 0 · Foundations — how a router really forwards a packet (RIB, FIB, CEF, longest match, recursion) and a troubleshooting method that works.
• Chapter 1 · Layer 3 Technologies (35%) — EIGRP named and classic mode, DUAL, stubs and load balancing; OSPF network types, areas, LSAs, virtual links and path preference; BGP sessions, best-path selection, route reflectors and policies; administrative distance, route maps, loop prevention, redistribution, summarisation, PBR, VRF-Lite and BFD.
• Chapter 2 · VPN Technologies (20%) — MPLS label switching and LDP, MPLS Layer 3 VPN with RD, RT and MP-BGP, and DMVPN from GRE and NHRP through IPsec, dynamic neighbours and Phase 3 spoke-to-spoke tunnels.
• Chapter 3 · Infrastructure Security (20%) — AAA with TACACS+, RADIUS and local fallback, IPv4 and IPv6 ACLs, uRPF, control plane policing and IPv6 First Hop Security.
• Chapter 4 · Infrastructure Services (25%) — device management, SNMPv2c/v3, syslog, conditional debugs and model-driven telemetry, DHCP for IPv4 and IPv6, IP SLA and object tracking, Flexible NetFlow and IPFIX, and Catalyst Center Assurance.
• Appendices — command quick reference, building your own practice lab, exam-day strategy, the capstone branch-onboarding project and lessons from ten real incidents.

• Network engineers at CCNA level preparing for their first CCNP Enterprise concentration exam.
• Engineers who already passed the core exam and want ENARSI to complete the certification.
• Practitioners who troubleshoot routing, DMVPN and infrastructure services at work and want a structured, lab-based reference.
  

You need a basic understanding of IP addressing, routing tables and VLANs. Everything else is explained as it appears. Appendix B shows how to build the Reference Lab on Cisco Modeling Labs, EVE-NG or GNS3.

• 380+ pages, PDF
• Covers every line of the ENARSI 300-410 v1.1 exam topics, mapped to a sub-section
• Platform: Cisco IOS XE 17.12 (Catalyst 8200 routers and a Catalyst 9300 switch)
• British English, Cisco command syntax exactly as the router prints it
• Free 30-page sample available
