350-401 ENCOR practice examsIn development
Cisco Certified Network Professional Enterprise
The ENCOR core: campus and wireless architecture with high availability, device and path virtualization with overlays, switching, OSPF and BGP with wireless infrastructure, assurance from show commands to telemetry, security from AAA to TrustSec, and automation with APIs, YANG and Ansible.
What you get
Papers are cut from the bank and weighted like the real exam, and no question appears in two of them. Every wrong answer comes back on later days until you have it right.
What the exam covers
| Architecture | 15% |
| Virtualization | 10% |
| Infrastructure | 30% |
| Network assurance | 10% |
| Security | 20% |
| Automation | 15% |
Two sample questions
1. An EtherChannel will not form between two switches. Which mismatch commonly causes this?
- A DNS server that cannot resolve the neighbour
- A mismatch between the VLAN database versions
- Inconsistent channel-group mode or member settings — correct
- An NTP source that differs between the switches
Why: An EtherChannel fails to form when the mode or member settings differ between the two ends.
2. A device management plane must be reachable only from trusted networks. Which control enforces this?
- A management VLAN carried on every access trunk
- Management ACLs restricting access to trusted sources — correct
- SSH enabled in place of Telnet on each device
- A jump host reachable from the internet by password
Why: Management ACLs restrict device management access to trusted source networks.
