Designing Cisco Network Service Architectures is the full name of 300-320 test, which is a required one for CCDP certification. There are 60-70 questions in real Cisco 300-320 ARCH exam, which will take the candidates 75 minutes to complete the test. The available language is English. Candidates can register Cisco 300-320 ARCH exam at Pearson VUE testing center.
Cisco 300-320 ARCH exam tests a candidate’s knowledge of the latest development in network design and technologies, including L2 and L3 infrastructures for the enterprise, WAN technologies, data center integration, network security and network services. It is also important for the candidates to know Cisco 300-320 ARCH exam topics.
