Designing Cisco® Network Service Architectures (642-871 ARCH)

Designing Cisco Network Service Architecture (ARCH)

ARCH is a qualifying exam for the Cisco Certified Design Professional CCDP® certification. The ARCH exam will test on material covered under the Designing Cisco Network Service Architectures (ARCH) course. The exam assesses a candidate's understanding of latest developments in network design and technologies. The exam covers topics on network infrastructure, intelligent network services, and converged network solutions.

Course Objectives:

The following information provides general guidelines for the content likely to be included on the ARCH exam. However, other related topics may also appear on any specific delivery of the exam.

Design & Modeling

• Design networks that provide network services and solutions using the Cisco AVVID Framework

• Design a modular network based on Enterprise Composite Network Model

• Explain how the following concepts apply to each module of the Enterprise Composite Network Model:

• performance and scalability; availability; manageability; security; and cost-effectiveness

• Design modules and/or sub-modules of the Enterprise Composite Network Model to meet defined standards of: performance and scalability; availability; and manageability

• Define an appropriate Enterprise Network Management Strategy to meet given requirements

• Define a security strategy that is based on the requirement of each functional area of the Enterprise Composite Network Model
