Cisco CCNP ENCOR 350‐401 (v1.1) Certification Exam

Prepare for the Cisco 350-401 ENCOR certification exam with this comprehensive practice exam course! This course is the essential stepping stone for aspiring CCNP Enterprise and CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure/Wireless professionals. Master the latest Cisco CCNP ENCOR v1.1 blueprint through realistic, scenario-based multiple-choice questions (QCM).

What You'll Master:

• Architecture (15%): Understand and compare modern and traditional network architectures, including 2-tier, 3-tier, spine-leaf, WAN, SD-Access, and SD-WAN designs. Learn to evaluate on-premises vs. cloud infrastructure and design for high availability, scalability, modularity, and resiliency. Explore the impact of cloud, virtualization, and automation on enterprise networks.
• Virtualization (10%): Differentiate between virtual machines and containers. Gain expertise in hypervisors (Type 1 & 2) and interpret virtual networking elements like vSwitches and virtual NICs. Understand the operation of VNFs and Cisco SD-WAN components, and the implications of overlay vs. underlay network designs.
• Infrastructure (30%): Configure and troubleshoot Layer 2 technologies (VLANs, STP, EtherChannel). Implement and verify Layer 3 routing protocols (EIGRP, OSPF, static routes). Manage essential IP services (NAT, NTP, DHCP, SNMP). Deploy wireless solutions (WLC, AP join processes, roaming, HA). Learn redundancy protocols (HSRP, VRRP, GLBP) and integrate SD-Access, SD-WAN, and network telemetry.
• Network Assurance (10%): Utilize network monitoring tools (SNMP, Syslog, NetFlow) to analyze telemetry and device logs. Implement configuration compliance mechanisms and troubleshoot connectivity, performance, and policy issues. Leverage Cisco DNA Center for enhanced assurance and monitoring.
• Security (20%): Implement Layer 2 security (Port Security, DHCP Snooping, DAI). Enforce access control using ACLs and 802.1X authentication. Understand Cisco TrustSec and MACsec. Configure site-to-site and remote VPNs (IKEv1, IKEv2, IPsec). Secure wireless infrastructure (WPA2/3, EAP authentication). Learn about device hardening, secure management protocols (SSH, HTTPS), and role-based access control (RBAC).
• Automation (15%): Understand APIs (REST, RESTCONF, NETCONF), JSON, YANG, and data models. Utilize Cisco DNA Center APIs and programmability interfaces. Automate device configurations using Python and tools like Ansible, Puppet, and Chef. Apply model-driven telemetry and interpret operational data. Explore the benefits and use cases of SDN and infrastructure as code.
