Cisco ENCOR v1.2 Exam Blueprint Domain 3: Infrastructure Domain Explained

In this episode of their CCNP Enterprise Core (ENCOR) exam blueprint series, Hank and Patrick tackle the Infrastructure domain — the largest section of the exam at 30% of the total score.

They walk through key topic areas including Layer 2 technologies, Layer 3 routing protocols, and IP services, breaking down exactly what the exam expects you to know at the professional level versus what you already covered at CCNA. One of the most valuable takeaways from this video is understanding how exam verbs — like describe, configure, and troubleshoot — signal how deep your knowledge needs to go and how you should structure your study approach.

Topics covered include:

- 802.1Q trunking troubleshooting
- EtherChannel and Spanning Tree (including MST)
- NAT/PAT configuration at an advanced level
- OSPF for IPv4 and IPv6
- BGP introduction and external routing
- Policy-Based Routing (PBR) and Multicast fundamentals
