Bom pessoal, a Cisco acaba de alterar a sua track de design para as certificações CCDA Design e CCDP Arch.
As principais mudanças na prova do CCDA são mais foco na escalabilidade e resiliência da rede, além da adição de virtualização e o conceito de arquiteturas programáveis, já a Arch está adicionando escalabilidade e design em redes IS-IS, migrações para IPv6, QoS, SDN e virtualização de datacenters.
