                                              Cisco Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies: Common Questions From Candidates

                                              What is the Cisco Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies certification exam?

                                              The Cisco Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies exam (code: 350-501) is the official Cisco exam that leads to the CCNP Service Provider / CCIE Service Provider (Core Exam) certification. It sits at the Professional / Expert level of the Cisco certification track. It is also connected with related credentials such as CCNP Service Provider, CCIE Service Provider. Passing it proves to employers that your skills have been validated by Cisco itself, which is why the 350-501 credential keeps showing up in job postings.

                                              How many questions are in the 350-501 exam, and how long does it take?

                                              The Cisco Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies exam gives you 120 minutes to work through 90-110. Pacing matters more than most candidates expect, so before exam day, run at least one full timed session in the Dumpkiller test engine to learn how long you can afford per question. If an item stalls you, flag it and move on — coming back later beats burning five minutes on a single question.

                                              Are there any prerequisites for the 350-501 exam?

                                              Cisco Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies Sample Questions:

                                              Question #1
                                              Refer to the exhibit. A company uses PIM-SM multicast with IGMPv2 to stream training videos from a server in network 192.168.1.2/24 to hosts that reside in 192.168.4.0/24. The company is implementing SSM to improve efficiency within Layer 2. Which task should the engineer perform to allow hosts to dynamically register to a multicast group when reaching the server at
                                              192.168.1.2?

                                              A. Configure bidirectional PIM on R2
                                              B. Implement PIM-DM on the interface between R2 and R3
                                              C. Implement IGMPv3 on all routers
                                              D. Configure an IGMP querier on R3


                                              Question #2
                                              A company uses PIM-SM multicast with IGMPv2 to stream training videos from a server in one network to hosts in a different network. As the company has grown, the networking team decided to Implement SSM to improve efficiency for multicast within Layer 2. Which action must the team take to begin the process?

                                              A. Implement IGMPv3 and deprecate IGMPv2.
                                              B. Implement IGMPv3 simultaneously with IGPMv2 on the individual links that must support SSM and PIM-DM.
                                              C. Implement PIM-DM to enable the routers on the LAN to Identify SSM-capable multicast hosts.
                                              D. Configure an IGMP querier and Implement Cisco Express Forwarding across the network.


                                              Question #3
                                              Which statement about the overlay VPN model is true?

                                              A. The overlay model provides the ability to reduce the amount of routing state that core routers need to hold to meet the scalability requirements compared to the MPLS VPN model.
                                              B. The overlay model does not scale to the same size as the MPLS VPN model.
                                              C. The overlay model provides privacy and isolation between the different customers by using packet filters that control the data to and from the customer routers.
                                              D. The overlay model demands a lot from provisioning because when adding one customer site, it demands many configuration changes at many other routers on the provider side.


                                              Question #4
                                              Refer to the exhibit. An engineer working for a service provider with an employee ID: 1234:56:789 notices that malicious traffic with a source IP in the RFC1918 range is arriving on the WAN connection to the internet and impacting customer resources on the LAN. Which ACL configuration must the engineer implement on M-CPE-1 to block the malicious traffic?

                                              A.

                                              B.

                                              C.

                                              D.


                                              Question #5
                                              Refer to the exhibit. An engineer started to configure a router for OSPF.

                                              A. router(config)# interface ethernet 1/1
                                              router(config-if)# ip ospf priority 0

                                              Testing engine software must be used while preparing for the 350-501 exam. I was also hesitant to purchase the bundle file but honestly, it helps a lot. I passed the exam with 98% marks.
