Course Overview

The Designing and Implementing Cloud Connectivity (ENCC) training helps you develop the skills required to design and implement enterprise cloud connectivity solutions. You will learn how to leverage both private and public internet-based connectivity to extend the enterprise network to cloud providers. You will explore the basic concepts surrounding public cloud infrastructure and how services like Software as a Service (SaaS) can be integrated. You will practice how to analyze and recommend connectivity models that provide the best quality of experience for users. You will learn to implement both Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) and Software-Defined Wide-Area Network (SD-WAN) cloud connectivity, as well as build overlay routing with Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). Finally, you will practice troubleshooting cloud connectivity issues relating to IPsec, SD-WAN, routing, application performance, and policy application.

This training prepares you for the 300-440 ENCC exam. If passed, you earn the Cisco Certified Specialist–Enterprise Cloud Connectivity certification and satisfy the concentration exam requirement for the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) Enterprise certification.

This training will help you:

  • Develop the skills required to design and implement enterprise cloud connectivity solutions
  • Learn how to apply the VPN and overlay networking technology, including Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN to extend the enterprise network to cloud providers, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using both private connectivity services and public internet as an underlay
  • Examine the solutions for optimizing access to SaaS cloud providers and the workflows for diagnosing and troubleshooting cloud connectivity issues
  • Gain knowledge for protocols, solutions, and designs to acquire professional-level and expert-level enterprise roles

Welcome to Your Path to Mastery!

FAQ

A remote lab is a virtual environment that provides access to Cisco equipment and software for hands-on practice. It allows learners to simulate real-world scenarios and apply what they have learned in a controlled setting, all from a remote location.

Labs work by providing a set of tasks or exercises that learners must complete using the remote lab environment. These tasks are designed to reinforce theoretical knowledge through practical application, often using real or simulated Cisco hardware and software configurations.

Access to labs is provided to learners by an instructor at the beginning of the training.

Access to the remote lab is limited to the duration of the course.

Accessing a remote lab requires a stable internet connection and a compatible web browser. Some labs may also require specific software or plugins to be installed on your computer. Detailed system requirements are provided in advance.

Not every course includes a remote lab. Whether a course includes a remote lab depends on the course’s objectives and structure. Courses focused on practical skills or technical certifications are more likely to include remote labs. Each training has lab exercises listed in its description.

To access the Course Book or Student Guide, you must have an active Cisco.com ID (CCO ID). Access details are provided a few days before the start date of the training and on the first day of the training by the instructor (in case an email from Cisco is missed).

Access to the Course Book (Student Guide) is related to the learners’s CCO ID and is valid for the life of a specific course.
