Expert take: what CCNP CLHCT really tests
CLHCT (300-820) — renamed and refreshed from CLCEI to v2.0 in February 2026 — is a 90-minute CCNP Collaboration concentration on Webex hybrid and cloud technologies: cloud management, suite/device administration, security and APIs/programmability. With the CLCOR core it earns CCNP Collaboration.
Preparation tips
- Focus on Webex Control Hub, hybrid services and directory/SSO integration — the v2.0 centre of gravity.
- Add API/programmability practice, a new emphasis versus the old CLCEI.
- Use v2.0 CLHCT materials; legacy Expressway-heavy CLCEI guides under-cover cloud.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Studying the retired Expressway/edge-heavy CLCEI blueprint.
- Getting the acronym wrong ("CLCHT") — the official code is CLHCT.

Sample CCNP CLHCT practice questions
5 questions taken from the CCNP CLHCT mock tests on Wrexa Edge. Try each one, then reveal the answer.
-
Q1. What is the default TURN request listening port on the Expressway-E?
- UDP 5060
- TCP 8443
- UDP 36000
- UDP 3478
Show answer
Answer: D — UDP 3478
-
Q2. Why does the traversal model avoid opening inbound ports on the internal firewall?
- The Expressway-C initiates and keeps alive outbound connections to the Expressway-E, which uses them to send traffic inward
- The Expressway-E builds a VPN tunnel to every internal endpoint, so no ports need to be opened
- All media and signaling is relayed through the Webex cloud, whose address ranges the internal firewall already trusts
- The internal firewall is bypassed by a second NIC on the Expressway-E connected to the LAN
Show answer
Answer: A — The Expressway-C initiates and keeps alive outbound connections to the Expressway-E, which uses them to send traffic inward
-
Q3. Why is the Expressway-E server certificate usually signed by a public CA?
- Public CA signatures are required for H.323 calls to traverse the Expressway-E
- Remote clients and phones must trust it without having the internal CA installed
- Internal enterprise CAs cannot sign certificates that contain subject alternative names
- Webex only accepts public CA certificates on traversal zones toward the cloud
Show answer
Answer: B — Remote clients and phones must trust it without having the internal CA installed
-
Q4. What happens when all Video Mesh nodes in a cluster are at capacity?
- The meeting is rejected
- Participants fall back to audio only
- Participants overflow to the Webex cloud media nodes
- The meeting moves to Unified CM conferencing
Show answer
Answer: C — Participants overflow to the Webex cloud media nodes
-
Q5. How do Expressway transforms differ from alias changes in a search rule?
- Transforms apply only after a call connects; search rule changes apply before any routing happens
- Search rules cannot change aliases at all; only transforms are able to rewrite the requested alias, and only after a search rule matches
- Transforms apply only to H.323 calls, while search rule alias changes apply only to SIP requests
- Transforms apply to all incoming requests before search rules are evaluated; search rule changes apply only to that rule target
Show answer
Answer: D — Transforms apply to all incoming requests before search rules are evaluated; search rule changes apply only to that rule target
