@ AKI Good Luck, please update us after you take exam, I am planing to take exam by next week, appreciate your experience in exam.
@ Lee ! You passed exam on 5th December and experienced ten new questions?
Now you are telling me to learn from my experience a d you will take exam next week?
Which statement to believe Brother?
I hope you will come up with truth this time.
Ben I hope there is good news and you cleared exam today. Could you please update us ?
ben??
Hi,
I am planning to take the exam on 11th December, pls help, are there any new questions other than the ones in the Premium version ?
Please share the new questions or confirm if there are any new questions
I passed on the 5th December. Digitaltut premium is still valid, just 3x more new questions but still managed to get 923 points.
Digitaltut is the bomb, thank you.

@ Goblok
You study from Premium?
Guys, I have the exam scheduled tomorrow.
Could any one answer this to me
What is the purpose of an RP in PIM?
A. send join messages toward a multicast source SPT
B. ensure the shortest path from the multicast source to the receiver.
C. receive IGMP joins from multicast receivers.
D. secure the communication channel between the multicast sender and receiver.
Hi Sourabh.
The answer for your question is B. In the PIM sparse MODE , the Intended Receiver of multicast stream send IGMP join request to RP.

Hi Sourabh.
Sorry for Small Typo please ignore my previous Comment.
The answer for your question is C. In the PIM sparse MODE , the Intended Receiver of multicast stream send IGMP join request to RP.
https://networklessons.com/multicast/multicast-pim-sparse-mode
passed the exam. premium questions still valid. however, there were 9-10 new questions there. something related to SSO and NSF. good luck!
Thanks AKI
Tomorrow I will update here about my exam.
Hope for the best…
Stateful switchover (SSO) is a redundancy feature that allows a Cisco router with two RPs to synchronize router configuration and control plane state information. The process of mirroring information between RPs is referred to as checkpointing. SSO-enabled routers always checkpoint line card operation and Layer 2 protocol states. During a switchover, the standby RP immediately takes control and prevents basic problems such as interface link flaps. However, Layer 3 packet forwarding is disrupted without additional configuration. The RP switchover triggers a routing protocol adjacency flap that clears the route table. When the routing table is cleared, the CEF entries are purged, and traffic is no longer routed until the network topology is relearned and the forwarding table is reprogrammed. Enabling nonstop forwarding (NSF) or nonstop routing (NSR) high availability capabilities informs the router(s) to maintain the CEF entries for a short duration and continue forwarding packets through an RP failure until the control plane recovers.
anyone can share the latest dump. please it very helpful for me. franciscobfranco(at)gmail.com
Dear Francisco, pay the premium, help the page, is not expensive and it’s worth it
passed exam, premium questions valid, there are 10 new questions, hopefully I can give more details later
I try to remember the new questions I got the best I can…
Question A
It’s a diagram of three routers (RouterA, RouterB, RouterC) with OSPF, all in area 0, there is a capture of a traceroute from Lo0 from RouterA (1.1.1.1) to Lo0 of RouterC (3.3.3.3) the traceroute is not successful.
The key here is that on the traceroute there is an !A which means that there is an ACL blocking the traceroute, so based on it I answered that there is an ACL on Router C
Answers
– ACL on router B
– ACL on router C
– connected routes are not being propagated through OSPF

How does the RIB differ from the FIB?
A. The RIB is used to create network topologies and routing tables. The FIB is a list of routes to particular network destinations.
B. The FIB includes many routes a single destination. The RIB is the best route to a single destination.
C. The RIB includes many routes to the same destination prefix. The FIB contains only the best route
D. The FIB maintains network topologies and routing tables. The RIB is a Iist of routes to particular network destinations.

Question B
A question regarding what is the need/use of a secondary WLC.
Possible Answers.
To make SSO possible.
To provide High availability for WLAN network to customers.
To make Active WLC failure transparent for associated clients or associated APs.
Explanation:
To make the process much more efficient, WLCs also support high availability (HA) with stateful switchover (SSO) redundancy. SSO groups controllers into high availability pairs, where one controller takes on the active role and the other is in a hot standby mode. The APs need to know only the primary controller that is the active unit. Because each active controller has its own standby controller, there really is no need to configure a secondary or tertiary controller on the APs unless you need an additional layer of redundancy.
Each AP learns of the HA pair during a CAPWAP discovery phase and then builds a CAPWAP tunnel to the active controller. The active unit keeps CAPWAP tunnels, AP states, client states, configurations, and image files all in sync with the hot standby unit. The active controller also synchronizes the state of each associated client that is in the RUN state with the hot standby controller. If the active controller fails, the standby will already have the current state information for each AP and client, making the failover process transparent to the end users.
Question C
What is the purpose of Stealthwatch on the Cisco Cyber Threat Defense
Answer:
Real time monitoring on threats, DDoS, etc
Explanation
Stealthwatch can quickly and with high confidence detect threats such as command-and-control (C&C) attacks, ransomware, DDoS attacks, illicit cryptomining, unknown malware, and inside threats. It is an agentless solution that brings threat visibility into every part of
the network, including the cloud, and the only product that can detect malware in encrypted traffic and ensure policy compliance without decryption.
Question D
Question regarding Considerations of using SSO on a network
Answers (if two answers required below is correct if one then Second is Correct)
Layer 2 NSF
Layer 3 NSF
Expalanation:
SSO is a required for CISCO NSF feature to work.

i am planning to write the test soon but i am scared because Digitalut has been silent to share the new 8 or 10 questions guys are saying they faced during the test , even though i am a premium member. I failed the test sometime around June because it took Digitalut a long time to update their website. They should act fast on this too
@St Patrick, obviously the admin will need reliable and accurate question before updating the questions bank.
Question I
Question related to NGFW Scalability
Answers
Clustering
@ ayam since you are digitalut representative. Can we know if we are good to write the exam this month with the questions in digitalut questions bank
I know that I became a premium member and I understand what I get.
If I prepare well, understand the concepts and use this site for practice, recap, refresh for anything I miss…
I don’t expect digitaltut to have all the latest questions updated on per day basis.
One thing these folks can do is to make the questions tricky (as if Cisco is doing it) and train users in understanding the logic, concepts.
That’s me, don’t mean argue with anyone.
I’m taking my test soon, with or without latest questions.
