Expert take: what CCNP DC ACI really tests
DCACI (300-620) is a 90-minute CCNP Data Center concentration validating hands-on implementation of Cisco ACI on Nexus 9000 switches — fabric setup, tenants/EPGs/contracts, external connectivity, integrations, management and ACI Anywhere. With the DCCOR core it earns CCNP Data Center; the current blueprint is v1.2.
Preparation tips
- Build a lab (APIC simulator / Cisco U. labs) — the exam is implementation-heavy, not memorisation.
