CCNP Enterprise ENCOR
Implementing Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies
Overview
Build advanced knowledge and hands-on skills to implement, operate, secure, automate, and troubleshoot modern Cisco enterprise wired networks, covering enterprise architecture, virtualization, Layer 2/Layer 3 infrastructure, IP services, network assurance, security, programmability, and automation. The course is aligned with the current 350-401 ENCOR v1.2 exam blueprint.
- Configure and manage Citrix Web App Firewall profiles, policies, protections, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
- Implement advanced authentication and security features including SAML, OAuth, OpenID, nFactor, AppQoE, IP Reputation, Rate Limiting, and HTTP Callout.
- Use Citrix ADM for centralized ADC management and monitoring, along with caching, front-end optimization, and performance tuning.
