What is CCDE?

CCDE (Cisco Certified Design Expert) is an expert-level certification from Cisco, focusing on network design principles and methodologies. It validates the ability to develop solutions that address complex and evolving network requirements. CCDE certified professionals are typically involved in the high-level design and architecture of large-scale networks, considering business goals, technical constraints, and operational considerations. It is not about configuring specific devices but rather about creating a comprehensive network blueprint.
