Cisco 350-601 Data Center Core Technologies DCCOR Test

The Cisco 350-601 Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core Technologies (DCCOR) exam validates skills in core data center networking, compute, storage networking, automation, and security, and it serves as the core exam requirement for CCNP Data Center and CCIE Data Center certifications while also granting the Cisco Certified Specialist – Data Center Core credential upon passing.​Course description:The official DCCOR training covers implementing data center compute, LAN and SAN infrastructure, plus the essentials of automation and security for modern data centers using Cisco Nexus, MDS, and UCS platforms with hands-on practice.​Topics span data center networking (L2/L3, overlays like VXLAN/EVPN, ACI fundamentals), storage networking (Fibre Channel, FCoE), compute (UCS B-Series/C-Series, HyperFlex), security controls, monitoring/management, and programmability/automation foundations.​Completing the training helps prepare for the 350-601 exam and can earn Continuing Education credits toward Cisco recertification via authorized learning partners.​Exam purpose and certifications:The 350-601 DCCOR exam tests implementation knowledge across network, compute, storage network, automation, and security domains in Cisco data centers.​A passing score grants the Cisco Certified Specialist – Data Center Core certification and satisfies the core exam requirement for CCNP Data Center and CCIE Data Center tracks; it also counts toward recertification activities.​Number of questions, time, and scoring:Duration: 120 minutes total exam time for 350-601 DCCOR.​Number of questions: Cisco does not publicly list an exact fixed count for each delivery; third-party pages often vary, so candidates should expect a variable count within the allotted 120 minutes in line with Cisco’s general exam format guidance.​Scoring: Cisco does not publish exact passing scores or per-domain weightings for each release; scores are scaled and reported after submission per Cisco’s standard exam policies.​Key content domains:Networking: switching/routing in the DC, overlays (e.g., VXLAN/EVPN), ACI concepts, cloud services, operations and monitoring.​Storage networking: Fibre Channel, FCoE unified fabric, NAS/NFS fundamentals, and infrastructure monitoring/software management.​Compute: UCS architecture and operations, UCS software/configuration management, and HyperFlex overview.​Automation and security: tooling and scripting, automation/orchestration approaches, and layered security for network, compute, and storage.​Who should take it:Network/data center engineers building or operating Cisco data center fabrics with Nexus, MDS, and UCS who are pursuing CCNP or CCIE Data Center or validating specialist-level core data center skills.​Recommended background includes foundational networking knowledge and familiarity with data center solutions to benefit from the official course and exam preparationThis course is not affiliated with, endorsed, or sponsored by Cisco.
