Currently, in 2022, the CCDE exam version is version 3. There are many new changes in CCDE v3 compared to CCDE v2 and in this blog post, some are the new changes will be explained, also for the things that stay the same will be highlighted as well. Also, I will share my takes in the post about these changes. Before starting the technical changes, let's start with the exam result announcement change. CCDE v2 exam has been announced in 8-12 weeks. This was effectively allowing CCDE exam candidates to schedule the exam two times maximum in a year. Students wouldn't schedule the exam if they fail because the announcement date and new exam date were usually overlapping. This changed anymore. With CCDE v3, exam results are announced in 48 hours. It is almost like CCIE exams. The CCDEv3 Practical Exam will be in the Cisco CCIE Lab locations anymore CCDE v2 Lab/Practical exam was done in Professional Pearson Vue Centers. There were 300 of them and done in many different countries. Unfortunately, this change may not be good for many exam takers as Cisco CCIE Lab locations are not available in many countries and are not as common as Pearson Vue Centers. CCDE v3 exam Scheduling is done via the CCIE/CCDE portal • Registration opens 90 days before the exam date CCDE v3 exam will be done every year, six CCDE exams are expected. (Previously with CCDE v2 it was 4, even sometimes 3) CCDEv2 exam was done every 3 months, usually 4 times a year. If you fail the exam, because of the exam result policy, you couldn't attend the next one but maybe the one after. So, effectively it was two times a year. Because the CCDEv3 exam will be announced in 48 hours and 6 times a year, if you fail the exam, you can attend the next one, because there will be enough time to schedule the next exam, find a hotel, flight ticket, etc, if travel is necessary. So, making the exam more frequently would increase its popularity of the exam, so I consider it a good move as well. Introduction of Core and Area of Expertise modules in Cisco CCDEv3 exam For many years, we have been hearing from many students about whether there will be Datacenter or Service Provider, Collaboration or Security expertise, etc. Cisco came up with this anymore. There will be 3 different Area of Expertise you can choose any of them and one of the practical scenarios will be based on your selection. Similar to CCDEv2, in CCDEv3 we will have in total of 4 scenarios and a total of 8 hours for all the scenarios. Each scenario will be limited to 2 hours maximum and even if you finish one of the scenarios faster than 2 hours, the remaining time won't be added to the next scenario. 3 scenarios will be named Core Module and 1 scenario will be the Area Of Expertise scenario. The core module covers technologies all candidates must know It comes with the Enterprise technologies (no Data Center/Service Provider) • Core module is vendor-agnostic The area of Expertise module covers specific technology areas: • More detailed knowledge expected • Cisco-specific technologies may appear in the Area of Expertise module CCDE v3 Area of Expertise Modules Area of Expertise options: Large-Scale Networks On-prem and Cloud Services Workforce Mobility You can select any of the above Area of Expertise and you will have 2 hours in the CCDEv3 exam, and around 15-25 questions in the scenario. For now, this is enough, for the other changes and CCDEv3-related content, please check the other posts and our free and paid courses.

MTL - Multi Technology Lab consist of many technologies in a large topology. When network design is considered, there is no single protocol, many protocols interact with each other. In my CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure Training, I have many MTL (Multi Technology Lab), and students are able to watch the videos, and with the config files, they are able to perform each task in the Lab themselves. From OSPF, EIGRP to BGP, QoS to Multicast, Layer 2 Technologies to Security, SD-WAN and many other technologies are all in the same lab. Traditionaly these kind of Labs were called as Mock Labs but better term is Multi Technology Lab.

Will March 19, 2020 CCDE Practical exam be cancelled? These days many students are asking in my CCDE Study groups about CCDE Practical exam and whether it will be cancelled due to Coronavirus?. You are not maybe my student (Yet:)) but I think you should be informed as well, thus I decided to share this post publicly. I talked to Cisco CCDE Program Manager and He told me that they don't have a plan to cancel it for the March 19, 2020 CCDE Practical Exam at the moment, but they are closely following the situation. Given the nature of the virus outbreak, things could of course change rather quickly! So, as of now, March 7, 2020, exam will happen on March 19. And, unless an official announcement is made, things go on as planned. I will let you know if I hear from any different official news from Cisco. Stay tuned and you can follow this post.

Will CCDE Exam (Lab) change in 2020. I have been receiving this question again and again after Cisco’s announcement on Cisco certification exam changes. Short answer is NO. Little bit long answer is, it will not change in February 2020 and in fact it has been the only design certification since many years. (Cisco I should say, I am not sure if other vendors have similar certification track, please write in the comment section if you know) Cisco will add by February 2020, design section to existing CCIE certification though. This shows the importance of the design in networking and I have been talking and writing about the importance of design knowledge for the CCIE engineers. Probably someone heard my voice finally.Anyway, CCDE stays as pure design certification and we will see more design questions in CCIE certifications as well after Feb 2020. This is a right move by Cisco, keep the value of your high level certification!

CCDE Real Lab Scenarios - I think it is time to write otherwise people will loose their money for nothing. Today I got a whatsapp message from someone who says ‘ I can't join your Onsite CCDE training, is there a way to buy REAL scenarios Online ‘. I didn't understand initially. I thought someone is asking whether I sell real CCDE scenarios. Then in an hour 4-5 of my students showed me a message through Skype ( my study group is on Skype ).In the message it says ‘ I am going to conduct an Onsite bootcamp , I will teach real CCDE scenarios , it will be most successful bootcamp, challenge to all my competitors and so on ‘. We laughed ? But situation was really serious and I realized that I should have stopped laughing and share some information with everyone. There are many problems with this message. First, I don't have scheduled bootcamp in Qatar and in fact I never opened a bootcamp in Qatar. Only conducted one session in Qatar University during my Online 11 days bootcamp. Second wrong thing is, talking on the real scenario is not teaching. You should say I don't know anything about design thus I can only talk if there is question and answer in front of me. Third problem with this message , When you share with someone the real scenarios and if they pass, you don't see this as a success, students shouldn't see too. Can you tell them students ? Thats another point ! Last but not least, challenge to all my competitors. This was I laughed mostly. These guys seriously think that they are competitor. ?? What the heck is happening ? People who are in this field know that there are only two serious CCDE providers currently which mean I have only one competitor and I hear good things about him and I respect. We have different methods of doing trainings but at the end He knows and teaches network design as well. By the way I forgot to say, important point is, these guys are using my name in their advertisement. They use my personal phone number which is accessible publicly (On almost all my social media accounts) but they give you a fake email address. Students showed me some forums and it was weird to see my name and my never scheduled training there ? So , I will use my name and will say I will sell real scenarios. Hmmm, I am sure anymore, these guys are sick or they think people don't know me. After I got message from the students I understood what the guy who sent me a whatsapp message was trying to say. He got the email and my phone number. Email is fake and whoever is doing this probably believe that people will send an email but not verify with the phone call etc. Probably this is true and they are selling the piece of shit (At least it will be shortly) but not after this post I believe. I started to talk about paper CCDE months before and suggested something on ‘Keeping the CCDE exam Secure‘. Unfortunately Cisco couldn't keep it secure in my opinion for Feb exam, as even the newly graduate people passed the CCDE exam as I heard. But Cisco made a statement on this and they said, They are seriously considering and following these guys. Which mean they are aware and they will take an action. I am sure good things will be on May exam and hope CCDE will continue to be the most valuable certificate. But please be aware, I always advertise my training through my website. You can check my CCDE Training schedule from here. And I use [email protected] as business email. Don't pay anyone even 1 dollar for the real scenarios. When the scenarios change without understanding, without knowledge you will definitely fail. And scenarios will change very soon trust me.I don't share these guys name here, no need for marketing, maybe whole point of them is this. You should just know, Cisco is going to keep the exam secure and If you pay money for the scenario, you will be sorry later on.

Is Cisco CCDE Exam vendor neutral?.Recently one of my CCDE Bootcamp students asked me this question. He heard that DMVPN might come in the exam. In the beginning of my each CCDE class, I introduce the topics which will most likely asked in the CCDE Practical exam. Cisco claims that CCDE Practical exam is vendor neutral network design exam. And I totally agree. Actually not only DMVPN, but also HSRP, GLBP, EIGRP, GETVPN might come in the exam and you should know the details of these technologies from the design point of view. All these technologies are Cisco specific, why then it is vendor neutral ? Reason is simple but not maybe obvious for those who don’t know the details of the exam. These are very commonly deployed technologies in the networks. Almost everyone learned HSRP when they studied first hop redundancy protocols, I believe, right ? Or, can be any decent network engineer who don’t know EIGRP ? If you think that you know routing protocols, or you think that you are familiar with them, you have to know it. But it is not about that they are commonly used technologies. They are actually derived from the very well known standard based protocols. Let’s take a look at DMVPN. DMVPN (Dynamic Multipoint VPN) uses two commonly known standard protocols; mGRE and NHRP. DMVPN is an architecture which come together by combining well known standard (RFC Based) technologies. GETVPN is not different. GETVPN uses well known technologies and design mindset. Multipoint to multipoint shared encryption. Both, DMVPN and GETVPN are used by many other networking vendors with a different names. Do I need to say that EIGRP is an RFC already ? Now you know why Cisco CCDE Practical exam is vendor neutral and let’s be fair, it is the best network design exam in the industry.

I am very glad to announce that Roy Lexmond from my April CCDE training class passed CCDE Practical exam yesterday in France. Below is his success story and here is his earlier feedback for the class. I should say that He really likes the design and open to learn new things and very clever. Please join me to congratulate Roy for his great achievement! On 19th May in France (Paris) I passed CCDE practical exam. My preparation was done with the cisco learning network excelsheet, Ciscolive video’s, internetworkexpert SP&CCDE courses, Orhan Ergun CCDE Bootcamp and www.orhanergun.net. I attended the Orhan Ergun bootcamp in April-May with lots of great people which helped me prepare well. I really think that the bootcamp helped me to focus on key technologies and discuss them with other people (very important for me) and to understand how to approach the exam. It was a challenge and took me 2 years, my satisfaction is extreme! and learned alot during those 2 years and still learning. My next goal will be CCIE-SP wich covers some great content inline with the topics the CCDE already covered. Roy Lexmond Senior Network Engineer at Routz CCIE#26557/CCDP/CCDE I promise to announce much more success stories of my students for August CCDE Practical Exam. Come and join my class !
