Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the HCIP-Datacom WAN Planning and Deployment program.

What WAN technologies are covered in this certification?

The certification covers advanced WAN bearer scenarios including MPLS, Segment Routing, BGP/EVPN, OSPF, IS-IS, traffic engineering with PBR and MQC, VPN (VRF/MPLS VPN), IPv6 WAN, and security for WAN bearer networks.

How does WAN Planning differ from Enterprise or Carrier tracks?

The WAN Planning and Deployment track specializes in WAN bearer network scenarios — connecting geographically distributed sites, carrier WAN infrastructure, MPLS VPN services, and wide-area traffic engineering. The Enterprise track focuses on campus networks while Carrier tracks focus on core IP/cloud bearer networks.

How is training delivered?

Training is available as live instructor-led online classes covering approximately 60 working hours. Class recordings are provided and hands-on lab exercises on Huawei equipment are included. Weekend batches available for working professionals.

What career roles does this certification support?

WAN network engineers, network architects at ISPs and enterprises, MPLS VPN service engineers, SD-WAN solution architects, and senior O&M engineers responsible for planning and deploying enterprise and carrier WAN bearer networks.
