CCDE: Cisco Certified Design Expert (Practical) — Question 61

An architect prepares a network design for a startup company. The design must be able to meet business requirements while the business grows and divests due to rapidly changing markets. What is the highest priority in this design?

Answer options

• A. The network should be scalable
• B. The network should be modular
• C. The network should have a dedicated core
• D. The network should be hierarchical

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as a modular network design allows for easier adjustments and expansion as the company grows or changes direction. While scalability (A) is important, modularity specifically addresses the need for flexibility in response to market shifts. Options C and D, focusing on dedicated core and hierarchical structures, do not prioritize adaptability in the same way.
