Why learn 300-410 with Ace Skills

  • Routing in depth

    Master EIGRP, OSPF and BGP behaviour well enough to predict and fix routing outcomes.

  • Trouble-ticket practice

    Solve faults planted by the trainer after every topic, mirroring the exam's troubleshooting focus.

  • Secure infrastructure

    Apply AAA, CoPP and IPv6 first-hop security as part of normal routing design.

  • Completes CCNP Enterprise

    Paired with ENCOR, ENARSI completes the CCNP Enterprise certification.

Course overview

ENARSI is the most popular concentration exam for CCNP Enterprise, and it is unusually focused on troubleshooting. You are expected to diagnose why routes are missing, why adjacencies fail and why traffic takes the wrong path, often in multi-protocol environments. This five-day course builds that diagnostic skill through intensive labs.

Days one and two cover Layer 3 technologies in depth: administrative distance, route maps, policy-based routing, redistribution and loop prevention, followed by EIGRP, OSPF and BGP configuration and troubleshooting, including BGP attributes, route reflectors and filtering. Day three moves to VPN technologies: MPLS operation and Layer 3 VPN concepts, DMVPN phases, and IPsec protection. Day four covers infrastructure security, including AAA, uRPF, IPv4 and IPv6 ACLs, control plane policing and IPv6 first-hop security. Day five deals with infrastructure services such as device management, SNMP, syslog, DHCP, IP SLA, NetFlow and DNA Center assurance concepts, followed by exam preparation.

Each topic follows the same rhythm: a short explanation, a configuration lab, then a set of trouble tickets where the trainer has introduced faults for you to find. By the end of the week you will have a reliable method for isolating routing problems quickly.

This course is aligned to the Cisco ENARSI 300-410 exam. Cisco can revise exam topics, so confirm the current version and pricing with Cisco before booking.

Frequently asked questions

Should I take ENCOR or ENARSI first?

Either order works, but many engineers take ENCOR first because its broader coverage makes ENARSI's depth easier to absorb.

Is this course mostly theory or labs?

Mostly labs. Every topic includes configuration practice followed by trouble tickets.

Is the exam fee included?

Only when the batch shows the "Exam voucher included" badge. Otherwise you book directly with Cisco through Pearson VUE.

Can I access labs after the course?

Lab topology files are shared so you can rebuild the scenarios in your own Cisco emulation environment.
