thanks some of you who took time to appreciate.
I feel motivated even more when people appreciate and help others.
I’m still planning to take the exam
@RatedR have you updated vce file after discussion above? Don’t see updated vce file :(
What about Question1 141:
What is an advantage of using BFD?
A. It detects local link failure at layer 1 and updates routing table
B. It detects local link failure at layer 3 and updates routing protocols
C. It has sub-second failure detection for layer 1 and layer 3 problems.
D. It has sub-second failure detection for layer 1 and layer 2 problems.
I guess it should be D
Question 128:
The connection between SW1 and SW2 is not operational. Which two actions resolve the issue? (Choose two)
A. configure switchport mode access on SW2
B. configure switchport nonegotiate on SW2
C. configure switchport mode trunk on SW2
D. configure switchport mode dynamic desirable on SW2
E. configure no switchport nonegotiate on SW1
Agree with answer D, but not sure about E answer
Additional question from a real exam, but didn’t find it here:
How does CEF switching differ from process switching on Cisco devices?
A. CEF switching saves memory by sorting adjacency tables in dedicate memory on the line cards, and process switching stores all tables in the main memory
B. CEF switching uses adjacency tables built by the CDP protocol, and process switching uses the routing table
C. CEF switching uses dedicated hardware processors, and process switching uses the main processor
D. CEF switching uses proprietary protocol based on IS-IS for MAC address lookup, and process switching uses in MAC address table
Not sure, but guess it should be A
@RatedR: You are doing great job with that validation/completion. VCE is really helpful. Thanks
I found one more wrong, last numbers should be based on groupID.
QUESTION 67
An engineer configures HSRP group 37. The configuration does not modify the default virtual MAC address. Which virtual MAC address does the group use?
A. 00:00:0c:07:ac:25
B. 00:00:0c:07:ac:37
C. C0:39:83:25:258:5
D. C0.00:00:25:00:00
Correct Answer: B
@Artush , you got be kidding me,
how did you come this far?
Convert 37 to Hexadecimal and thank me Later
@RatedR Thank you for all of your efforts bro!
Question: does the link for the V C E file you uploaded is already updated with some of the corrected answers from the previous page? Kindly inform us of the updated link. Much appreciated!
@SouthPark
Will upload once again with corrected one’s , keep me in your blessings
RatedR
@SouthPark
Will upload updated one again in sometime.
Meanwhile keep me in your blessings.
Yours truly
RatedR
@RatedR thanks for the pdf and vce files
are their any plans to update with corrections and add the explanations?
Seems like there are some opinionated people on here. I know alot of times Cisco says to select the Best answer even if there are 2 that are close.
About Q381
A simple explanation. The threshold value is correct (Range is 0 to 60000 and is less than the Timeout) and cannot cause IP SLA tracking to fail. The source interface fa0/1 can be ‘down’ and can thus cause the tracking failure.
@try
I agree with you.
Question 141 answer D
One simple question are all the questions from this premium valid and enough to pass the exam.
I’m getting confused in when people mention other dumps etc which other dumps? Is there enough here for me to pass ???
I just come out from the exam centre, I want to share my real experience.
Don’t want to scare or discourage you, but I found 70% new question in my exam today.
I study all the question in premium section including 11th feb updates, I practice composite 120 question several times and scored 90% but the real exam was totally different.
I was so confident on digitaltut question and study them so well that it took only 40 min to complete any composite(120q) practice test with good score.
I was so frustrated in exam centre, rarely I found a question from this premium section. I repeat, 60-70 question were new including drag and drop.
In middle of the exam I thought I will quit then I thought lets see how many new question are there!!!!
When I submit my answered after 2 hrs the result come out as pass…. It’s a miracle… it cant be happen.
Cisco might do me a favor as the question set has changed… not sure how I passed.
Happy learning :)
@Real experience
I don’t if this doesn’t scare me, what will
Can you have a look into the pdf and V c e file I posted?
How accurate is it??
This is scaryyy
Hi Real experience
Can you check the dumps posted by Rated R?
How accurate are those??
Also can you tell which section had new questions??
I read similar comments in premium section too
And miracle is they passed the exam
Don’t know what the He@@ is going on
I read a similar thing in Premium section.
They too cleared the exam
What the hellll is going on here???
Here is the updated V C E file:
https : // www . mediafire . com / file / d7u6m4wngscm81j / Cisco_350-401_ENCOR_Exam_Implementing_Cisco_Enterprise_Network_Core_Technologies_mhm_520Q_2022_01_20 . vce / file
@Real-Exprience-today , can you go through the V C E file and let us know if there were new questions from this?
@Try:
for Q 141:
BFD works only for directly connected neighbors. BFD neighbors must be no more than one IP hop away. Multihop configurations are not supported -> “BFD detects local link failure” is correct.
Typically, BFD can be used at any protocol layer. However, the Cisco implementation of BFD for Cisco IOS Releases 12.2(18)SXE, 12.0(31)S, and 12.4(4)T supports only Layer 3 clients, in particular, the BGP, EIGRP, IS-IS, and OSPF routing protocols.
Reference: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios/12_0s/feature/guide/fs_bfd.html
According to the reference above, it is a bit weird but answer B is the best choice here.
FOr Q 128:
From the outputs (line: “Administrative Mode: dynamic auto”) we notice that both interfaces were configured with “dynamic auto” mode so they cannot form a trunking link. We need to change one of them to “dynamic desirable” mode to activate the trunk -> Answer D is correct.
Another problem is SW1 was set to “nonegotiate” (from the line: “Negotiation of Trunking: Off”) which prevents DTP negotiation packets from being sent out the interface. We need to re-enable with the “no switchport nonegotiate” command -> Answer E is correct.
@Artush
I would suggest studying CCNA before coming here. if you dont the difference between decimal and Hexadecimal , down know how you will interpret the exam
Updated V C E file:
https : // www . mediafire . com / file / d7u6m4wngscm81j / Cisco_350-401_ENCOR_Exam_Implementing_Cisco_Enterprise_Network_Core_Technologies_mhm_520Q_2022_01_20 . vce / file
Let me know if still there are wrong answers.
I have referred to Digital Tut for correct answers since many use this site to pass exam
About Q141
Bidirectional Forwarding Detection provides a method for network administrators to configure sub-second Layer 2 failure detection between adjacent network nodes. Furthermore, they can configure their routing protocols to respond to BFD notifications, and begin Layer 3 route convergence almost immediately
Reference: https://www.cisco.com/en/US/technologies/tk648/tk365/tk207/technologies_white_paper0900aecd80243fe7.html
The question is not clear
Looks like Cisco is doing random updates with the questions and digitaltut might not get all questions/answers for us. Need to go over with basic fundamental on categories to save us on exam.
According this document is the answer D better IMO
Yes, the L3 protocols benefit from this , but we read the answer B carifully:
“It detects local link failure at layer 3 and updates routing protocols”
The BFD detects local link failure at layer 2, but NOT 3!
@ Real-Exprience-today
fk u bstrd.
Digitaltut in the premium area says that all new questions are up to date
Please stop posting false messages!
Hi folks, if anyone looks for new 350-401 look in 105, it seems right.
@I
What do you mean? Can you elaborate
@Real-Exprience-today
Cisco will always change their questions after everyone keeps posting the answers here. They monitor this site and remove questions from the exam that get posted here. This is why it’s worth buying the premium subscription BEHIND the pay wall. Questions posted in this public forum are easy for Cisco to search on and eliminate from the question pool.
@Real-Exprience-today, check plz vce of RatedR.Has it new questions or there were 70% absolutely new questions?
@RatedR
Many thanks for you work and vce file. Just had quick look and seems, question 521 is still wrong
I guess it should be A
@try,
I’m going by the answer used in this site.
If you have any other Valid source, plz post it to back up your answer.
I have also added explanation for it
Took my exam earlier, there were a lot of new questions. Not even sure how I passed.
@Anonymous
That’s just your guess about CISCO
This is from Digitaltut: “Please share with us your experience to prepare for the new ENCOR 350-401 exam, your materials, the way you learned, your recommendations…”
I’m not doing cisco exams for the first time. Always the user dumps appeared in the public forum.
FOr Godsake
Whoever passed the exam, Please have the dump posted by Rated R and tell us if that is valid or not????
How many new questions and which section was it???
Rahul , good job
is the latest dump still valid ?
anyone can verify if the comments about new question are true or not ?
you have every right not to believe me, thats totally up to u. because there are lots of fake post here everyday.
i just wanted to share my experience that’s all, no intention to scare you. still i think it was worthy to have digitul prepuim subscription.
i wouldn’t taking this credit that i know the basics that helps me to cleared the exam..no not at all..
when u have 60-70 new question, ur basics concepts, ur skill nothing will work.. trust me.
but miracle happened or Cisco didnt want me to fail that why i passed.
u can try ur luck if u r already booked or can wait few weeks to settle it down.
Thanks,.. happy learning. :)
I hope dumps is still valid, if not were doomed
Dear AnonymousRatedR,
I don’t have any other valid source and check info only from this site and google. I also check comments of other people and agree with @doka for some his answers in forums. I don’t claim that my answers are exactly correct. I am preparing to exam (recertification) and it would be great to have exactly correct answer finally. So, we have debate here.
Re 521 question as I remember CAM doesn’t contain ACL, QoS
When using Ternary Content Addressable Memory (TCAM) inside routers it’s used for faster address lookup that enables fast routing.
In switches Content Addressable Memory (CAM) is used for building and lookup of mac address table that enables L2 forwarding decisions.
Besides Longest-Prefix Matching, TCAM in today’s routers and multilayer Switch devices are used to store ACL, QoS and other things from upper-layer processing.
Here is good link for explanation
https://community.cisco.com/t5/networking-documents/cam-content-addressable-memory-vs-tcam-ternary-content/ta-p/3107938
Rated PDF covers 40-50% questions, 50-60% new questions in exam, you cant pass without knowledge, don’t go for exam after preparing dumps. I wrote yesterday. questions are not difficult if you have prepared blue print topics.
this dump (by Rated) covers 40-50% only, you need to study and have knowledge to pass the exam, dont go based on dump if you prepare blueprint you can pass as questions were not difficult to answer. took exam yesterday. thank you
Hi can you tell us if the new questions are from this site?
How much valid is it??
No not from this site, i used pdf posted by rated user with around 560 questions.
