All right, welcome to the Cisco CCNP
Enterprise OnCore show for exam 350- 401.
We are here of course to get us started.
So I'm Ronnie Wong.
I'm one the hostess right here at ITProTV,
and
I've got plenty of experience in classroom
teaching especially in the realm of Cisco.
So I've been doing that for
quite a long time.
It says almost close to 20 years at
this point, Anthony as we get started.
So I've earned several certifications
in Cisco, and I'm pleased to be here
essentially as a learner as well as a host
for our subject matter expert as well.
So, Anthony, why don't you go ahead and
introduce yourself to us.
Sounds great, Ronnie.
I love that you and
I are teaching together.
We're kinda fans of each other,
we discovered before the show.
So I've been watching Ronnie's
content here at ITProTV, and
apparently Ronnie read a book or
two of mine on Cisco networking.
So that's so cool.
So yeah, I like you have been in
the Cisco world for decades, and
it's so great to see the evolution
of Cisco networking,
and how they will kind
of change directions.
And we're certainly at one of those times,
Ronnie, not only did they
change directions as far as where
they're emphasizing in technology, but
with their certification program.
They've definitely made some big changes,
and Ronnie and
I have been really excited for
this course OnCore.
That's for sure because it's a key part,
a really key part of their
new certification approach.
So, Anthony, what is the benefit
of someone taking this and
what's your experience
gonna bring to this?
Yeah, great question.
We're gonna cover a lot
of content over six
major areas of enterprise
infrastructure and networking.
But if I were to boil it all down Ronnie,
what is the big deal
when it comes to OnCore?
I would say the big deal is
a deep dive that Ronnie and
I are gonna do for you in some areas that
I find students just aren't getting.
And one of the reasons they
struggle in these areas,
it is relatively new technology.
When we talked things like
Software-Defined Access and
Software-Defined WAN and Trust Sack and
all these new security and
infrastructure technologies.
A lot of the times we read
about these things or
hear about these things and
it's a lot of marketing speak.
It's a lot of big fancy words, and you're
scratching your head going, okay, I've
watched three marketing related videos
on SD-WAN, and I still don't get it.
So what I am most excited for
for our students is for you and
I to break these technologies down,
make them very simple and for
the learner to really come away knowing
these cutting-edge technologies.
And perhaps even more important, Ronnie,
why these technologies were invented.
What issues do they solve?
And there's no doubt that there's
a lot of this that we actually do have
a challenge in front of us because
it is a brand new certification.
And so we want to make sure that we
meet those challenges as we continue to
move forward.
Now Anthony in terms of the structure
of our course, are we actually
doing anything super exciting or
neat that you want to get into?
Yeah, one of the things that Ronnie and
I decided to do that I just love is
whenever possible we are going to
demonstrate what we are discussing,
whenever possible.
So even in some of the design areas where
you traditionally don't see demonstrations
done, Ronnie and I are going to
demonstrate these technologies for you so
that you can really appreciate
the importance of design.
One of the topics that will
do early on is the first top
Reachability Protocols or
HSRP, VRRP, GLBP.
Sounds like I'm making
these acronyms up as I go.
But, so we're gonna look at these
first top Reachability Protocols.
And yeah, we're gonna get in there and
demonstrate these technologies so
that the key design
elements make more sense.
All right now, I think we do have to
spend a little bit of time also talking
about the certification itself.
And again, the idea of where people go.
So remember that if you are signing up for
certification, you do want to go
to a Pearson VUE testing center.
Now, you'll have to register online first,
you'll get an account and
then head towards Cisco Systems.
And from there you'll pick out
that particular exam course,
make sure you remember the number
that 350-401 for Cisco exams.
And that will get you into the place
where you'll be able to register and
then to find the nearest
testing center near you.
But make sure you check that
out if that is your goal.
Ultimately that CCNP certification.
This's kind of the first half of
low actually we'll be having here.
So when we think about
that certification detail,
anything else you want to add in there?
No other than, I'm so
glad you brought that up about the number.
I don't know about you Ronnie, but
I will forever simply call this OnCore.
Right.
And then I always have
to look up the number to make sure I
have it right for exam registration and
then I forget the number again.
So yeah, do make sure you
are signing up for the correct exam.
There's a whole lot of Cisco
exams that you could sign up for.
You don't want it to be the wrong one.
All right, so
if you are actually as excited as
Anthony about getting started here in
our Cisco OnCore show, believe or not it's
just one click away in the next episode.
So signing off for
ITProTV, I'm Ronnie Wong.
And I'm Anthony Sequeira.
See you next time.
Thank you for watching ITProTV.
