Common Questions About the Cisco 300-610 Exam

What is the Cisco Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure exam all about?

The 300-610 exam is the official Cisco exam behind the CCNP Data Center, Cisco Certified Specialist - Data Center Design certification, validating the skills measured by the Cisco Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure credential. It sits at the Professional level of the Cisco certification program. It also connects to CCNP Data Center, Cisco Certified Specialist - Data Center Design, so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.

How many questions are on the 300-610 exam, and how much time do I get?

The 300-610 exam contains 60-70 questions to be completed within 90 minutes. Before exam day, divide the available time by the question count to work out a comfortable per-question pace, and mark any item that eats into it so you can return later instead of getting stuck. Timed sessions in the Getcertkey test engines make that pacing automatic — run at least two full-length mock exams under the clock so time pressure never becomes the reason you drop points.

What score do I need to pass the 300-610 exam, and what does it cost?

The passing score for the 300-610 exam is 825 / 1000, and the official registration fee is $300 USD. Retakes are not discounted — every new attempt means paying the full fee again — so it pays to measure yourself before you book. Work through the 350 practice questions on Getcertkey, sit a timed practice test, and schedule your exam only when your scores are consistently comfortable. That simple habit is the cheapest exam strategy there is.

Are there any prerequisites for the 300-610 exam?

Cisco Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure Sample Questions:

Question #1

Refer to the exhibit. The data center DC1 uses VXLAN technology. The company asked a service provider to design another data center called DC2 and stretch EVPN information between the data centers based on the same technology. The fabric requires:
- endpoint information propagated end-to-end across both data centers
- misconfiguration replicated from DC1 to DC2
Which actions must the design include in DC2 to meet these criteria?

A. - Set BGP AS to 65500
- Configure IGRP as an underlay IGP
B. - Set BGP AS to 65501
- Configure RIP as an underlay IGP
C. - Set BGP AS to 65501
- Configure EIGRP as an underlay IGP
D. - Set BGP AS to 65500
- Configure RIP as an underlay IGP

Question #2

An engineer must design a Cisco SAN environment between two data centers for backup and replication purposes. The data centers are separated by 510 kilometers and are interconnected via a 16-Gbps WAN/MAN link. Which topology must be used to interconnect the data centers?

A. native Fibre Channel SAN extension
B. large-scale edge-core-edge
C. multi-switch
D. unified fabric

Question #3

A company has several data centers with hundreds of Cisco UCS blade chassis. A network consultant plans to active Cisco Discovery Protocol to the servers to facilitate Layer 1 troubleshooting. For security reasons, the company wants to restrict the servers from sending different MAC addresses to the fabric interconnect after the MAC address from the first packet is learned. Which two policies be modified to support this design? (Choose two.)

A. vNIC Template Policy
B. Pin Group Policy
C. Ethernet Adapter
D. Network Control Policy
E. vNIC Policy

Question #4

Refer to the exhibit. A company plans to implement high availability between the iSCSI host and the Fibre Channel target. Which solution must the company implement to recover from a failure of a host NIC, MDS IP storage port, or Fibre Channel target port?

A. Configure FCoE between the host NICs and MDS ports
B. Set up IP storage ports to export the two Fibre Channel target ports
C. Implement HSRPofi thf MDS IP storage ports
D. Map the Fibre Channel target ports to one IP storage port

Question #5

An engineer must design a Cisco UCS environment for a customer. The design requires the most efficient use of available bandwidth with active-active uplinks. The upstream Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switch must automatically initiate the port-channel connectivity to the fabric interconnects.
Which configuration must the engineer choose to meet these requirements?

A. fabric interconnects in Ethernet end-host mode
LACP port-channel from fabric interconnects and Cisco Nexus 9000 switches
B. fabric interconnects in Ethernet switching mode
LACP port-channel from fabric interconnects and Cisco Nexus 9000 switches
C. fabric interconnects in Ethernet end-host mode
static port-channel from fabric interconnects and Cisco Nexus 9000 switches
D. fabric interconnects in Ethernet switching mode
static port-channel from fabric interconnects and Cisco Nexus 9000 switches
