Three of the 306 questions in this pack

Question 1

What is an advantage of using OTV as compared to VPLS for data center redundancy?

  1. prevents loops on point-to-point links
  2. provides head-end replication
  3. uses a proactive MAC advertisement
  4. provides full-mesh connectivity
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. uses a proactive MAC advertisement

OTV uses proactive MAC advertisement, where MAC addresses are learned and advertised before traffic flows, reducing MAC learning latency across overlay networks. This is a key architectural difference from VPLS, which relies on reactive MAC learning when traffic is sent. Proactive advertisement enables faster convergence and more efficient forwarding in data center redundancy scenarios.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. Point-to-point link loop prevention is not a distinguishing advantage of OTV over VPLS.
  • B. Head-end replication is a characteristic of VPLS multicast handling, not an OTV advantage.
  • D. Full-mesh connectivity can be achieved with both OTV and VPLS depending on configuration.

Question 2

Which multicast rendezvous point redundancy mode is valid for Bidirectional PIM?

  1. Embedded RP
  2. Phantom RP
  3. MSDP
  4. PIM anycast RP
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. Phantom RP

Phantom RP is a valid redundancy mode for Bidirectional PIM that allows multiple physical RPs to act as a single logical RP by sharing the same IP address. This enables seamless failover and load sharing in Bidir-PIM deployments without disrupting multicast group operations.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. Embedded RP is used in PIM-SM, not specifically for Bidirectional PIM redundancy.
  • C. MSDP is a separate mechanism for RP-to-RP communication in PIM-SM, not a Bidir- PIM redundancy mode.
  • D. PIM anycast RP is a redundancy method for PIM-SM, not the primary mode for Bidirectional PIM.

Question 3

An engineer deploys LISP VM mobility. Which feature is configured on the interfaces that have VM mobility enabled?

  1. IP redirects
  2. flow control
  3. proxy ARP
  4. HSRP
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. proxy ARP

Proxy ARP is configured on interfaces with LISP VM mobility enabled to allow virtual machines to migrate between physical locations while maintaining their IP addresses. Proxy ARP enables the receiving site to respond to ARP requests for the migrated VM's IP address, facilitating seamless mobility without gratuitous ARP flooding.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. IP redirects are not specifically configured for LISP VM mobility.
  • B. Flow control is a network performance feature unrelated to VM mobility configuration.
  • D. HSRP is a redundancy protocol not required for LISP VM mobility implementation.

What makes the DCID hard

DCID v1.2 changed its own title: the exam is now Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure for Traditional and AI Workloads, and the AI half is not decoration. The first objective in the biggest domain is AI and ML concepts, training versus inference, GPUs, DPUs and SmartNICs, and the network requirements that follow. An older v1.1 bank has none of that.

Network design is 35% of the exam: RoCEv2, Ethernet versus InfiniBand and RDMA for high-performance fabrics, lossless Ethernet QoS, Layer 2 options with vPC and LACP, VXLAN EVPN for data centre interconnect, and management and redundancy strategies including Nexus Dashboard. Compute at 25% covers UCS Ethernet and storage connectivity, fabric interconnect modes, direct-attached FC and FCoE, and UCS-X design for AI and ML. Storage network design covers iSCSI multipathing, FC and iSCSI QoS, and storage for high-performance networks. Automation covers Intersight, NX-API, Ansible, Python and Terraform.

About the exam

300-610 (Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure for Traditional and AI Workloads v1.2, DCID) earns the Cisco Certified Specialist, Data Center Design certification and counts as the concentration exam for CCNP Data Center. It covers data centre network design including AI and ML workloads, compute design with UCS, storage network design, and automation design. No prerequisites.

Exam domains

  • Network Design: 35%
  • Compute Design: 25%
  • Storage Network Design: 20%
  • Automation Design: 20%

90 minutes, US$300 per attempt, Pearson VUE test centre or online, certification valid for three years. Cisco does not publish a fixed passing score.
