CCIE # 13: How to Pass the Designing Cisco Enterprise Networks Exam (300-420 ENSLD)

Modern IT infrastructure is becoming more and more virtualized, floating into the Clouds. All-as-a-service models - SaaS, PaaS, IaaS are ubiquitous, but all of these solutions still use data networks and machine resources to process them.





Over the past 20 years, data center networks have undergone many changes, which we will try to get to know better at the webinar "Evolution of network technologies in data centers" and analyze the main technological stages of this evolution with their inherent technologies and architectural solutions.



Also, as part of the recruitment for the group of the online course
"Data Center Network Design", we prepared a translation of useful material.






In this article, I will touch on the CCNP Enterprise specialist exam, “Designing Cisco Enterprise Networks (300-429 ENSLD),” and explain how I was able to pass it on the first try after about 80 hours of training.
