This guide helps you choose the right CCNP ENARSI 300-410 course based on your current routing level, your exam target, and how much lab depth you need. ENARSI is the Cisco Enterprise concentration focused on advanced routing, VPN technologies, infrastructure security, infrastructure services, and troubleshooting.
All 5 CCNP ENARSI courses, with about 201 hours of video training, are included in one OrhanErgun.net membership. Use this page to compare the courses, then follow the path that matches your exam plan and production responsibilities.
CCNP ENARSI is not a repeat of CCNA routing. CCNA proves that you understand basic packet forwarding, VLANs, static routes, single-area routing, and entry-level operations; ENARSI expects you to configure, verify, optimize, and troubleshoot routed enterprise networks where EIGRP, OSPF, BGP, redistribution, VRF, MPLS, DMVPN, IPsec, security controls, and infrastructure services interact.
The practical change is that you stop treating routing protocols as isolated topics. ENARSI problems usually appear at boundaries: EIGRP to OSPF redistribution, BGP route-reflector design, OSPF area behavior, MPLS Layer 3 VPN control-plane separation, DMVPN routing over NHRP, IPsec protection over overlays, or management-plane failures caused by AAA, ACLs, CoPP, DHCP, SNMP, Syslog, NetFlow, and IP SLA.
The 300-410 exam is a Cisco Enterprise concentration exam. Passing it earns the Cisco Certified Specialist – Enterprise Advanced Infrastructure Implementation certification and satisfies the concentration requirement for CCNP Enterprise; to complete CCNP Enterprise you also need the ENCOR 350-401 core exam.
The supplied ENARSI courses cover the same professional domain from different angles. Some are long-form lab and workbook courses, some are faster exam-aligned courses, and one bundle includes both ENCOR and ENARSI so you can study the core and concentration in one sequence.
| ENARSI area | What you need to be able to do | Where engineers usually get stuck |
|---|---|---|
| Layer 3 technologies | Implement and troubleshoot EIGRP, OSPF, BGP, IPv4, IPv6, route filtering, route summarization, redistribution, path selection, and VRF-Lite. | Route feedback during redistribution, wrong administrative distance, OSPF area mistakes, BGP attribute order, and missing routes across VRFs. |
| VPN technologies | Understand MPLS Layer 3 VPN architecture, GRE, NHRP, DMVPN Phase 1 and Phase 3, and IPsec with DMVPN. | Separating underlay from overlay, running dynamic routing across DMVPN, and proving whether a failure is routing, NHRP, IPsec, or reachability. |
| Infrastructure security | Apply AAA, ACLs, IPv6 traffic filters, uRPF, CoPP, router access protection, and IPv6 First Hop Security. | Securing the control plane without breaking routing adjacencies, management access, or operational troubleshooting tools. |
| Infrastructure services | Operate SSH, SNMP, Syslog, DHCP, IP SLA, NetFlow, Cisco DNA Center Assurance concepts, ping, traceroute, and logging workflows. | Collecting the right evidence before changing configuration and correlating service symptoms with routing or policy faults. |
| Exam strategy | Map each lab to the 300-410 blueprint instead of watching topics passively. | Studying protocol theory without building enough failure scenarios, especially EIGRP, OSPF, BGP, redistribution, MPLS, DMVPN, and services. |
All courses are Cisco-focused, but they differ in scope, pace, lab depth, and whether you also need the ENCOR core exam.

View Arash's courseVerified learner reviews for the courses in this hub are inserted here by the platform.
“Simple and to the point. Easy to follow and understand as a not native English speaker. The price is worth it.”
“Very smooth and detailed explanation. However there is no slide shared.”
“This course is great! Studying BGP right now, and have learnt many things, which I was not aware of before. Watching Sajjad troubleshoot while working on the labs, is making me understand things better, and he asks questions as if I were asking them. Not sure if he is playing dumb, or if he is just "talking out loud" to himself. Either way, it's helping me :)”
“I like the inital primer of the topics in this course. Looking forward to the rest of it.”
“Great clarification of the path to achieve this certification.”
“Amazing content, clearly explained and most important; with a great sense of humor!”
“Amazing course, Sajjad's delivery is excellent and on point.”
“Great start to the newly added topics of the ENARSI”
CCNP ENARSI 300-410 is the Cisco Enterprise concentration exam for advanced routing and services. The supplied courses describe it as testing implementation and troubleshooting of Layer 3 technologies, VPN technologies, infrastructure security, infrastructure services, and related enterprise operations.
Passing 300-410 ENARSI earns the Cisco Certified Specialist – Enterprise Advanced Infrastructure Implementation certification and satisfies the concentration exam requirement for CCNP Enterprise. To complete CCNP Enterprise, you also need the ENCOR 350-401 core exam.
If your goal is the most complete ENARSI-only lab path, start with Cisco CCNP ENARSI 300-410 Course (Advanced Routing). It includes EVE-NG and Cisco Modeling Labs preparation, EIGRP, OSPF, BGP, MPLS, DMVPN, IPsec, infrastructure security, services, workbook material, practice labs, and v1.1 updates.
If you also need the ENCOR core exam, start with CCNP ENARSI 300-410 Training Course because it bundles ENCOR 350-401 and ENARSI 300-410 in one CCNP Enterprise sequence.
You do not have to watch an ENCOR course before every ENARSI lesson, but ENARSI assumes you are already comfortable with enterprise routing, addressing, switching fundamentals, and basic troubleshooting. If your CCNA knowledge is old or you have not worked with enterprise routing recently, the ENCOR plus ENARSI bundle is the safer path.
If you already operate Cisco routed networks and your gap is advanced routing, VPN, security, and services, a dedicated ENARSI course is a better use of time.
The Arash Deljoo course explicitly lists the 300-410 blueprint areas as 35% Layer 3 Technologies, 20% VPN Technologies, 20% Infrastructure Security, and 25% Infrastructure Services. Across the hub, those areas translate into EIGRP, OSPF, BGP, redistribution, route filtering, summarization, PBR, VRF, MPLS Layer 3 VPN, GRE, NHRP, DMVPN, IPsec, AAA, ACLs, uRPF, CoPP, IPv6 First Hop Security, SNMP, Syslog, DHCP, IP SLA, NetFlow, and management access.
Use the blueprint as a checklist, but study it through labs. ENARSI failures often come from interactions between routing, VPN overlays, security controls, and infrastructure services.
Use CCNP ENARSI 300-410 Training Course if your target is the full CCNP Enterprise certification. It contains ENCOR 350-401 and ENARSI 300-410 modules, so it maps to both the mandatory core exam and the ENARSI concentration exam.
The dedicated ENARSI courses are better when you already have the core exam covered or only need the concentration and Specialist certification path.
Cisco CCNP ENARSI 300-410 Course (Advanced Routing) is the strongest first choice for ENARSI-only troubleshooting depth because its curriculum repeatedly names troubleshooting topics across EIGRP, OSPF, BGP, VRF, VPN, security, and services. It also includes workbook and practice lab material.
For additional protocol-specific lab depth, use Cisco CCNP ENARSI - 300-410 Course, especially for BGP route reflectors, MPLS VPN, VRF, DMVPN Phase 3, EIGRP over DMVPN, BGP over DMVPN, and IPsec.
The course catalogue references EVE-NG, Cisco Modeling Labs, GNS3, VMware integration, IOS images, IOL devices, CSR1000v, ASA images, and virtual lab topologies. Not every course uses every tool, so check the individual curriculum if your lab environment is fixed.
If you are starting from scratch, the bundle and the dedicated Advanced Routing course both include EVE-NG or Cisco Modeling Labs preparation. The Sikandar Shaik course also includes GNS3 and EVE-NG platform sections.
All ENARSI courses overlap on the core 300-410 domain: EIGRP, OSPF, BGP, redistribution, VPN technologies, infrastructure security, and infrastructure services. The difference is not the exam name; it is the teaching style and depth.
The Sajjad Ghaffoori ENARSI courses are workbook and lab-heavy. Sikandar Shaik provides concise Cisco Authorized ENARSI coverage. Mohammad Imani emphasizes topology implementation across BGP, MPLS, VRF, and DMVPN. Arash Deljoo gives an exam-blueprint-oriented path with routing review and trouble-ticket style topics.
CCNA is a reasonable starting point, but it is not enough by itself for ENARSI if you have not configured and troubleshot multi-protocol routed networks. ENARSI expects professional-level comfort with EIGRP, OSPF, BGP, route filtering, redistribution, path selection, VPN overlays, router security, and operational services.
If you are coming directly from CCNA, use the ENCOR plus ENARSI bundle or take extra time on the early routing, virtualization, assurance, and infrastructure modules before attempting timed exam preparation.
One OrhanErgun.net membership includes access to all 5 CCNP ENARSI courses in this hub, with about 201 hours of video training. Where provided by the individual course, you also get lab, workbook, slide, configuration, and practice-lab oriented material.
This lets you follow one primary path and then use another instructor for difficult topics such as OSPF area behavior, BGP attributes, MPLS VPN, DMVPN, IPsec, CoPP, NetFlow, DHCP, or IP SLA.
Pick the ENARSI path that matches your current gap: full CCNP Enterprise, dedicated 300-410 labs, Cisco Authorized coverage, BGP and VPN implementation, or blueprint review. One membership gives you access to all supplied CCNP ENARSI courses, so you can combine instructors instead of betting on one explanation.
