Cisco 400-007 Exam Questions
- Topic 1: Business Strategy and Design: This section of the exam measures skills of a Network Architect, focusing on how business strategy drives network design and optimisation. Candidates are expected to understand the impact of project methodologies such as waterfall and agile, and how considerations like business continuity, RPO, ROI, CAPEX/OPEX and risk/reward influence technical decisions in solution design.
- Topic 2: Control Data, Management, Operational Design: Targeting the Network Automation Specialist, this domain covers end to end IP traffic flow across rich environments, involving the separation of data, control, and management planes. Candidates must demonstrate knowledge of centralized, decentralized, and hybrid control models, and explain how automation and orchestration, including API integration, model-driven management, and CI/CD evolution, support controller-based and software-defined architectures such as SD WAN and network fabric implementations.
- Topic 3: Network Design: This section is designed for a Senior Network Designer and assesses the ability to create resilient, scalable, and secure modular networks in both traditional and software-defined environments. It emphasises the translation of technical, operational, and business constraints into robust implementation and migration strategies that accommodate application behaviour and organisational requirements.
- Topic 4: Service Design: This domain, aimed at a Cloud Network Engineer, examines how modular network design supports diverse IP-based applications including voice, video, replication, IoT, and storage. Candidates must consider operational resilience, cloud/hybrid connectivity, data governance needs (sovereignty, compliance), and service placement models like SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, direct connects, and WAN integration under regulatory constraints.
- Topic 5: Security Design: This part of the exam measures the expertise of a Network Security Architect and covers the integration of security within network design. It includes segmentation, access control, visibility, policy enforcement, and application of the CIA triad within modular architectures. Professionals must also understand how to align security with regulatory requirements relevant to network governance.

A bank has two data centers (Primary and DR), and compliance policies mandate that services or servers can be moved seamlessly between the two data centers. Additionally, the technology cannot be locked to a specific vendor and must offer good scalability with broad support of layer 2 protocols. Which protocol meets these requirements?
Company XYZ wants to prevent switch loops caused by unidirectional point-to-point link conditions on Rapid PVST+ and MST. Which technology can be used in the design to meet this requirement?
STP Bridge Assuranceis a mechanism used to protect againstunidirectional link failureson point-to-point STP connections in environments likeRapid PVST+ and MST. When Bridge Assurance is enabled, BPDUs are expected on all BPDUs-capable interfaces. If a switch stops receiving BPDUs on a point-to-point link where Bridge Assurance is enabled, it assumes the link has failed and transitions the port to blocking to prevent a loop.
This is especially useful in high-availability enterprise designs that require protection from unexpected switch behavior or partial link failures.
Why other options are incorrect:
A . BPDU Guard: Protects access ports by placing them in an err-disabled state if BPDUs are received---useful at the edge, not for core loop protection.
C . MSTP: Refers to the protocol itself but does not solve the unidirectional link issue on its own.
D . TRILL: A different architecture (layer 2 routing) and not applicable to Rapid PVST+ or MST-specific protection.
A business requirement is supplied to an architect from a car manufacturer stating their business model is changing to just-in-time manufacturing and a new network is required. The manufacturer does not produce all of the specific components in-house. Which area should the architect focus on initially?
Just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing relies on precision timing and real-time data exchanges between production systems and external suppliers. Network latency can directly impact the efficiency and viability of such a system. For this reason, the architect must prioritize a network design that ensures minimal delay and rapid delivery of application and sensor data.
According to CCDE v3.1 design principles, when latency is tied directly to business outcomes (e.g., manufacturing workflow dependencies), the network must be designed with a focus on:
End-to-end low-latency infrastructure
Predictable jitter and delay control
Application prioritization mechanisms (QoS)
High availability and redundancy
This allows the manufacturer to optimize production throughput while reducing delays caused by communication lag with external component providers.
Why other options are incorrect:
A . Automation helps with operational efficiency, but it does not directly ensure low-latency communication.
B . Zero Trust is a security model, not latency-related.
D . Modularity is about design structure, not latency performance.
==========
Company XYZ must isolate and encrypt production traffic to meet HIPAA compliance. The current WAN includes MPLS and P2P links.
What is the fastest deployment option?
A bank recently had their security compromised during an initial key exchange between devices using a symmetric cryptography algorithm, and as a result the key was revealed/leaked. Going forward, they want to ensure that key exchanges are performed using asymmetric cryptography algorithms. Which algorithm offers the desired functionality?
