Prerequisites

Target audience

The exam

The 300-410 ENARSI (Implementing Cisco Enterprise Advanced Routing and Services) is a concentration exam in the CCNP Enterprise track. It lasts 90 minutes and is delivered in English through Pearson VUE, at a test center or online. Tested domains include Layer 3 technologies, VPN technologies, infrastructure security and infrastructure services. Passing ENCOR and a concentration exam such as 300-410 ENARSI is required to earn CCNP Enterprise. Cisco does not publish a fixed passing score; the required score may vary by exam version.

Preparation tips

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Is 300-410 ENARSI alone enough to earn CCNP Enterprise?

No. CCNP Enterprise is earned by passing the 350-401 ENCOR core exam and one concentration exam, including 300-410 ENARSI. This course focuses on the ENARSI exam.

What experience is recommended before this course?

Practical experience with routing, Cisco IOS and network troubleshooting is strongly recommended. Knowledge covered by CCNA and ENCOR provides a suitable foundation.

Does the course include hands-on labs?

Yes. Labs cover OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, redistribution, VPNs, high availability, infrastructure security and network-services troubleshooting.

Does 300-410 cover BGP routing?

Yes. The outline covers BGP sessions, attributes, communities, best-path selection, routing policies and verification and troubleshooting methods.

Is the exam available in French?

The Cisco 300-410 exam is generally delivered in English through Pearson VUE. Check the language options available when registering with Cisco or Pearson VUE.
