About the Arista ACE-S Campus Exam
The Arista ACE Specialist - Campus track validates hands-on skills for designing, deploying, and operating Arista campus networks. It is split into two practical lab sub-tracks: AN-CA-OP01 (Wired Operations) focused on CloudVision day-2 telemetry, troubleshooting, and Studios-driven operations, and AN-CA-EN01 (Wired Engineering) focused on the design and architecture of L2 and L3 campus networks including VXLAN-EVPN. Topics include the CCS-720XP/722XP/750 access portfolio, MLAG with VARP, RPVST+/MST, the seven canonical Arista campus designs, ZTP, CVP Studios (L2LS, L3LS, Authentication, Mirroring, Software Management), AGNI for NAC and identity-driven policy, and CV-CUE for Wi-Fi 6E/7 Cognitive Wireless management.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Arista ACE Specialist - Campus certification?
The Arista ACE Specialist - Campus track is a hands-on certification with two practical sub-track exams: AN-CA-OP01 (Wired Operations) and AN-CA-EN01 (Wired Engineering). Each is a 4-hour Honorlock-proctored practical lab. Operations focuses on CloudVision day-2 tasks (telemetry, troubleshooting, Studios) while Engineering focuses on L2/L3 campus design including VXLAN-EVPN. Passing both automatically grants the ACE Professional - Campus credential.
How much do the Arista ACE-S Campus exams cost?
Each sub-track exam is $295 USD (AN-CA-OP01 or AN-CA-EN01), so taking both costs $590. Exams are delivered via Honorlock online proctoring, which requires a webcam, microphone, government-issued photo ID, and a stable internet connection. Training and lab time are priced separately through Arista Academy Digital (self-paced) or Academy Live (instructor-led).
What does this 100-question practice bank cover?
This is a conceptual MCQ bank designed to mirror the lab objectives of both AN-CA-OP01 and AN-CA-EN01. It distributes 100 questions across six topic areas: Campus Wired Foundations, L2LS Campus with CVP Studios, L3LS Campus with VXLAN/EVPN, Campus Zero Touch Operations, AGNI Access Control / NAC, and CV-CUE Wireless Awareness. The actual exams are practical labs - this MCQ set complements but does not replace hands-on lab time.
What products and features should I focus on?
On the wired side: CCS-720XP/722XP/750 access switches with Cognitive PoE, MLAG with VARP, RPVST+/MST, the seven canonical Arista campus designs (L2LS, L3LS, with and without VXLAN-EVPN), and CloudVision Studios (L2LS, L3LS, Authentication, Mirroring, Software Management). On security and wireless: AGNI for 802.1X/MAB/RADsec NAC with cluster HA, MSS segmentation, and CV-CUE for managing Wi-Fi 6E/7 cognitive APs (W-368/W-318/W-228/W-288) including Cognitive Maps, WIPS, and 802.11ax/be features.
Are the Arista campus exams open-book or closed-book?
The Arista ACE practical exams are proctored and you should check Arista's current exam handbook for permitted resources. Honorlock online proctoring monitors your environment via webcam and screen-share. Plan to perform tasks from CLI memory and CVP UI familiarity rather than relying on documentation lookups during the lab.
How should I prepare for the practical labs?
Combine the Arista Academy Campus track (Digital or Live) with substantial hands-on time. Build L2LS and L3LS-EVPN campuses end-to-end in a lab using CVP Studios, practice Day-2 operations such as adding VLANs/VRFs and replacing devices via ZTR, drill MLAG and EVPN troubleshooting (show mlag config-sanity, show bgp evpn), and rehearse AGNI policies, RADsec onboarding, and CV-CUE SSID/WIPS setup. This MCQ bank reinforces the conceptual scaffolding.
Do I need to take both sub-tracks?
Each sub-track exam earns its own ACE Specialist credential (Wired Operations or Wired Engineering). Taking both is the recommended path because it automatically grants the ACE Professional - Campus credential. Alternatively, the standalone Professional - Campus exam is offered directly by Arista if you prefer one combined exam.
