The first topic includes seven subtopics. Candidates should understand the difference between various design principles that are related to enterprise networks. Therefore, they will work with concepts such as Tier 2, Tier 3, and Fabric Capacity planning. Also, they will become skilled in handling high availability techniques such as FHRP, SSO, and redundancy. This topic also teaches exam-takers how to analyze WLAN deployment design principles and differentiate on-premises and cloud infrastructure deployments concepts. In addition, they should understand how to explain the Cisco SD-Acces and SD-WAN solution principles and describe concepts related to wired and wireless QoS. Finally, software and hardware switching mechanisms are included in the syllabus as well.

Within the Virtualization domain, candidates will learn different technologies for device virtualization. They will be exposed to concepts like Hypervisor types 1 and 2, virtual machines, and switching. Also, they have to be proficient in configuring and verifying data path virtualization technologies. In this section, they will get a deep-understanding of VRF, GRE, and IPsec tunneling notions. Besides, they will understand how network virtualization concepts such as LISP and VXLAN work.

The third topic is the most important in the overall exam's questions. It concentrates on giving candidates full details of Layer 2 and Layer 3 concepts. Applicants should also know how to troubleshoot, manage, and configure them properly using different tools and features. Also, they will go through Wireless-related concepts and become knowledgeable in the main principles and AP modes, Layer 1 concepts, or antenna types. Plus, they will discover which are the best techniques to troubleshoot WLAN configuration and wireless client connectivity issues. IP services management and deployment is another subtopic included here. Exam-takers will learn how to configure and verify NAP/PAT tools as well as configure multicast and first-hop redundancy protocols.

The fourth section talks about how to properly diagnose network problems. Candidates will learn more about debugs, conditional debugs, traceroute, and ping. They will also become skilled in configuring and verifying device monitoring, NetFlow, Flexible NetFlow, SPAN/RSPAN/ERSPAN, and IPSLA. Also, they will describe Cisco DNA Center workflows that enable them to configure, monitor, configure, and manage networks.

Within the Security domain, individuals will discover how device access controls work. They will learn more about password and line protection, as well as how to use AAA for authorization and authentication. Infrastructure security features configuration and their verification are also included here. Another subtopic handled is related to the REST API security and wireless security. Exam-takers should also know the components of network security design.

The final topic covers automation. It is essential that candidates understand how to interpret basic Python scripts and components. They will develop deep knowledge on how to construct a valid JSON encoded file, understand high-level principles and benefits of YANG and APIs for Cisco DNA Center and vManage. They will also be exposed to the topics like interpreting the response codes of REST API, EEM applet, and understand how to compare agent and agentless orchestration tools to configure, troubleshoot, and manage different network solutions.
