Cisco CCNP Data Center Practice Test

The Cisco CCNP Data Center Practice Test is a free intermediate-level, 20-minute skill test from Science of Apps. Practice for the CCNP Data Center core exam (350-601 DCCOR) — data centre networking with NX-OS, VXLAN EVPN and ACI, compute with Cisco UCS and Intersight, storage networking with Fibre Channel and FCoE, and automation and security — written to the Cisco DCCOR exam topics, Cisco NX-OS, ACI and UCS documentation and IETF VXLAN and EVPN standards for 2026. Independent practice; not affiliated with Cisco. Score 70% or more on its 20 questions to earn a verifiable Cisco CCNP Data Center Readiness certificate (SOA-CCCX). Every question is based on published standards and research — including CCNP Data Center (350-601 DCCOR and concentration exams) (Cisco), RFC 7432 BGP MPLS-Based Ethernet VPN (IETF), RFC 7348 Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network (VXLAN) (IETF) — and each answer is explained with its source.

Yes. The questions are original scenarios written by Science of Apps, and each one is based on a public source you can read: CCNP Data Center (350-601 DCCOR and concentration exams) (Cisco); RFC 7432 BGP MPLS-Based Ethernet VPN (IETF); RFC 7348 Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network (VXLAN) (IETF); RFC 6241: Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) (IETF). The source is shown under each question and linked in the answer review. Science of Apps doesn't copy questions from other tests.

Four skill areas with five questions each, drawn from a bank of 10 per area so a retake brings new questions: Data Centre Networking (NX-OS, vPC, VXLAN EVPN and ACI); Compute (UCS, Service profiles and Intersight); Storage Networking (Fibre Channel, Zoning and FCoE); Automation and Security (NX-API, Ansible and Access control). Every question is an original scenario written to the 2026–2027 standard, with the published source named under it.

Data center network engineer, Cisco ACI or NX-OS engineer, Infrastructure or UCS administrator, Storage network engineer and Network architect. It suits anyone who wants a quick, verifiable way to show Cisco CCNP Data Center knowledge in 2026 and 2027, from students and career switchers to experienced professionals.

CCNP Data Center needs the 350-601 DCCOR core exam plus one concentration exam, such as data centre design, ACI, automation or storage networking. Passing DCCOR alone also qualifies a candidate for the CCIE Data Center lab.

DCCOR covers data centre networking (NX-OS, VXLAN EVPN, ACI), compute (Cisco UCS and Intersight), storage networking (Fibre Channel and FCoE), automation (NX-API, Python, Ansible) and security.

No. It is an independent practice test written to the publicly available Cisco CCNP Data Center content outline for 2026 and 2027, for checking your readiness before you book the real exam. Passing earns a Science of Apps certificate rather than the official credential.
