New 400-007 CCDE Exam Questions and Answers Complete Course

Exam: Cisco Certified Design Expert CCDE v3.0

Exam Description:

The exam topics below are general guidelines for the content likely to be included

on both the CCDE Written (400-007) and the CCDE Practical exam.

The CCDE v3.0 Written exam (400-007 Questions) is a two-hour, multiple choice test with 90-110 questions, that focuses on core Enterprise network architectures and technologies.

The CCDE v3.0 Practical Exam is an 8-hour scenario-based exam, that focuses on core Enterprise

network architectures and technologies, as well as on your selected area of expertise.

Both exams validate your knowledge, skills, and abilities throughout the entire network design lifecycle.

Both exams are closed book and no outside reference materials are allowed.

Your knowledge, skills, and abilities of recommending, building, validating, optimizing, and adapting

technologies/solutions in the context of complex high-level network designs will be tested throughout the exam:

Please follow these Practice Test Topics:

• Recommend technologies or solutions that align with the stated requirements.

• Justify why a given decision was made.

• Make design choices and fully design solutions that complies with the stated requirements.

• Validate existing designs to ensure they are compliant with all requirements, as well as

· suggesting design changes to accommodate for changed specifications or requirements in the network.

• Perform optimizations of existing network designs to fix issues or mitigate risks.

• Build high-level implementation plans/steps.

• Recommend, build, or justify strategies.

Both the Written and Practical exams are designed with dual stack in mind, so both IPv4 and IPv6 should be expected across every exam topic and technology.
