Build confidence for the CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure Lab Exam and Cisco Certified Design Expert (CCDE) Practical Exam with this scenario-based course, designed to mirror the way design challenges are presented in the real exams. Each design case is framed as a narrative that includes email exchanges, supporting diagrams, and CLI outputs, focusing on topics such as Layer 2 protocols, enterprise IP routing with EIGRP, OSPF, BGP, and MPLS, software-defined networking with SD-WAN, network security, and more. As you progress, you’ll be asked to make key design decisions—analyzing requirements, weighing trade-offs, and selecting the best solutions under exam-like constraints.

 

This course is tailored for engineers preparing for the Design Module of the CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure Lab Exam, and for the CCDE Practical Exam, where success depends on high-level reasoning and solution design, not command-line skills. By practicing with these immersive, exam-style scenarios, you’ll sharpen your critical thinking, analysis, and decision-making skills, giving you the confidence to perform under the pressure that Cisco’s expert-level exams demand.

 

 

Important Information

In the actual exams, backwards navigation is disabled in the testing engine. We recommend attempting each design scenario for the first time without using the back button, as information revealed in later emails, diagrams, etc. will often point to the previous correct answers. Once you have completed a scenario, you may re-attempt it and browse forwards and backwards through the questions to better understand why the solution answers are correct.

At the end of each scenario attempt, you can review the questions that were marked wrong. To review the full correct solution path for a scenario, click through the quiz without answering any questions (this will result in a score of 0/10) and then reveal the solutions for all questions.
