Three of the 1,066 questions in this pack

Question 1

Which QoS component alters a packet to change the way that traffic is treated in the network?

  1. policing
  2. classification
  3. marking
  4. shaping
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. marking

Marking is the QoS component that alters packets by changing fields such as DSCP, IP Precedence, or CoS values to indicate how the traffic should be treated. This modification happens within the packet itself and allows downstream devices to recognize and handle the traffic according to the marked priority.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. Policing enforces rate limits and drops or marks traffic that exceeds thresholds; it does not alter packet headers for treatment purposes.
  • B. Classification identifies and categorizes traffic into groups but does not alter the packets themselves.
  • D. Shaping buffers and queues excess traffic but does not modify packet contents to change how traffic is treated.

Question 2

What is a benefit of deploying an on-premises infrastructure versus a cloud infrastructure deployment?

  1. ability to quickly increase compute power without the need to install additional hardware
  2. less power and cooling resources needed to run infrastructure on-premises
  3. faster deployment times because additional infrastructure does not need to be purchased
  4. lower latency between systems that are physically located near each other
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: D. lower latency between systems that are physically located near each other

Lower latency between physically co-located systems is a key benefit of on-premises infrastructure. When systems are located near each other in the same data center, network latency is minimized compared to cloud deployments where resources may be geographically distributed or remotely hosted.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. This is a benefit of cloud infrastructure, not on-premises; cloud allows rapid scaling without physical hardware installation.
  • B. On-premises deployments typically require more power and cooling resources than cloud, as you maintain all hardware yourself.
  • C. Cloud deployments enable faster deployment times; on-premises requires purchasing and installing physical hardware first.

Question 3

How does QoS traffic shaping alleviate network congestion?

  1. It drops packets when traffic exceeds a certain bitrate.
  2. It buffers and queues packets above the committed rate.
  3. It fragments large packets and queues them for delivery.
  4. It drops packets randomly from lower priority queues.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. It buffers and queues packets above the committed rate.

Traffic shaping alleviates congestion by buffering and queuing packets that exceed the committed rate, delaying them rather than dropping them immediately. This smooths traffic flow and prevents sudden bursts from overwhelming network links, allowing congestion to be managed gracefully.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. Dropping packets is a characteristic of policing, not shaping; shaping buffers excess traffic instead.
  • C. Traffic shaping does not fragment packets; it queues whole packets to regulate their transmission rate.
  • D. Random packet dropping from lower priority queues describes RED (Random Early Detection) or tail-drop behavior, not shaping mechanisms.

    Cleared it! ENCOR is no joke but this dump helped me pass. A good portion of the questions came out in my actual exam. Would recommend to anyone sitting this.

  7. Giulia Clark –

    Passed my exam

    Best purchase I made for this exam.

  8. NINA OLSEN –

    Responsive and reliable

    Grateful for this resource. For the price you cannot go wrong. Worst case you get extra practice. Best case you recognise a bunch in the real exam. That is what happened to me.

What makes the ENCOR hard

The 350-401 ENCOR is one of the most demanding exams Cisco offers at this level: 120 minutes covering dual-stack architecture, virtualisation, infrastructure, network assurance, security and automation.

The current blueprint is v1.2, which renamed the automation domain to Automation and Artificial Intelligence and folded AI-era operations content into it. Infrastructure is 30% of the exam and Security another 20%, so half the paper sits in those two domains alone. Passing it earns the CCNP Enterprise and also qualifies as the written exam for CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure. CCIE Wireless now uses its own core exam, 350-101 WLCOR.

1,066 practice questions for the 350-401 ENCOR, so the question style is familiar before test day.

About the exam

The 350-401 ENCOR (Implementing Cisco Enterprise Network Core Technologies) is the core exam for CCNP Enterprise and simultaneously qualifies as the written exam requirement for CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure. CCIE Wireless now uses its own core exam, 350-101 WLCOR. It validates advanced knowledge across dual-stack architecture, virtualisation, enterprise infrastructure, network assurance, security, and automation. No formal prerequisites are required (CCNA is no longer mandatory before CCNP), though three to five years of enterprise networking experience is recommended. One concentration exam (US$300) is required after ENCOR to complete the full CCNP Enterprise. Current blueprint v1.2.
