A current guide to the CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure path, including 350-401 ENCOR, Pearson VUE scheduling, 120-minute core-exam timing, Enterprise Core specialist credit, and the 8-hour lab requirement.
The CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure path combines a core enterprise technology exam with an expert-level hands-on lab. Preparation should separate ENCOR blueprint work from lab practice across design, deployment, operations, automation, and troubleshooting.
Use these points before building a core-exam and lab-readiness plan.
Cisco lists 350-401 ENCOR as the core exam requirement for CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure.
ENCOR is a 120-minute Pearson VUE exam available in English and Japanese.
Cisco lists the CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure Lab Exam v1.1 as the hands-on lab requirement.
The CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure lab is an 8-hour hands-on exam.
ENCOR covers dual-stack architecture, virtualization, infrastructure, network assurance, security, and automation.
Passing ENCOR earns the Cisco Certified Specialist - Enterprise Core certification.
Cisco uses 350-401 ENCOR as the core exam for CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure. It is also shared with CCNP Enterprise, CCIE Enterprise Wireless, and the Cisco Certified Specialist - Enterprise Core credential.
ENCOR validates broad enterprise networking knowledge. The CCIE lab requires hands-on execution across planning, design, operation, and optimization, so lab practice should be scheduled as its own workstream.
Build ENCOR study around dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 architecture, virtualization, infrastructure, network assurance, security, automation, SD-Access, SD-WAN, and operational troubleshooting.
The CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure lab is an 8-hour practical exam. Candidates should practice sustained troubleshooting, configuration, validation, documentation, and time management before booking the lab.
