My Thoughts on the CCNP Enarsi Exam and What I Used to Prepare

Hello everyone!
Thank you so much for watching. In this video we take a dive into my first attempt to pass and complete my Cisco CCNP exam. I previously took the encor exam last year and then took the enarsi this time. In this video I share with you what I used to pass the enarsi CCNP exam and my thoughts on the exam.

    Hey congrats, your video made me go back to studying again and even looking for Russo's course thank you for the tip. I have a dumb question he provides the layout but to follow him wouldn't it be worthwhile to know the ip's of the interfaces the way he has set or not. Just curious as that is not provided by him.

    That’s great news! I’m glad I could aid you back on track with your journey. You’ll have to forgive me my memory has gaps since it’s been a few months since I reviewed the content Nick produced for Pluralsight. I don’t recall specifics on how the course is layered but I do remember after reviewing other content his is by far my favorite and still most recommended. I’d suggest going to his channel that is linked in the description and finding his video on the spreadsheet he created to follow along with for the ENARSI.

    @@RotiPani75 always! I reached out to Nick personally on Twitter and asked him to help us out with your question. Here is his response “the reason I keep my diagrams higher level is so that they are clean and readable. cramming a network diagram full of individual IPs, subnets and/or masks, interfaces, IGP boundaries, and every other detail is often unhelpful. in my courses, I usually include a smaller zoomed-in picture in the top right corner that adds some of these details based on the context of the current discussion. I also use simple addressing that is intuitive to understand even without explanation. last, I always include complete configurations for every topology I teach, whether that's a full Pluralsight course, a KZread video, or a blog post. in summary, there are ample opportunities for viewers to dig deeper into individual details if they think it helps them personally. As a general rule, I keep my topology visualizations higher level because the vast majority of viewers learn better with fewer distractions. My explanations and demonstrations of individual technologies should make low level details like interfaces and address is somewhat irrelevant. If I say “let's ping R7” or “let's check the BGP peer to R4” I'll always follow up with the proper command/explanation. Whether the viewer knows the IPs or interfaces to perform these actions is irrelevant. They just need to follow along with the PROCESS. This is the key to mastery.” I’ll pin his response for others to see.

    Congrats! Thanks for sharing your experience. I passed the ENCOR a couple of weeks ago and want to keep going up in the Cisco cert path - not 100% sure if I want to go with ENARSI, yet. I was wondering if you could share what your thoughts are about ENCOR vs ENARSI. Which one did you find more difficult?

  • @ChadEmery

    @ChadEmery

    Жыл бұрын

    Hard to measure the difficulty between the two because they both are focused on different areas. I’d say the Encor is slightly more difficult based on the amount of topics being so spread out where was ENARSI dives into more detail with certain things. ENARSI was by far more fun to tackle. Hopefully this is helpful to your question. If I could reverse time I likely would have done encore, ensld, then ENARSI.

    Only very briefly. INE is like a fire hose of information and that’s their thing. For some topics I found the white papers to be more helpful. I am using INE though for my CCIE studies.

    If you’re trying for the CCNP a core exam is required along with a concentration exam. It definitely caries a lot of broad topics but it is relevant information to help you decide what to dive deeper into for the concentration exams.
