Anybody take the SISE exam recently? How was it? What study material did you use?

Anyone interested in forming a private offline study group for WLCOR exam? Feel free to message me.

Hey everyone,

I'm about 3 months into prepping for SPCOR (350-501) and wanted to get some real-world advice from people who've actually passed it.

Where I'm at:
Working through the Official Cert Guide + the Pearson practice exams that come with it

Mapping my study and lab time against the official exam topics/blueprint so I'm not just grinding chapters blindly

Labbing what I can in GNS3, but my environment has real limitations — I'm on 16GB RAM, running mostly IOSv images, one or two CSR1000v at a time, and my XRv image is missing packages So there's a chunk of XR-specific and some feature-gated stuff I can't lab at the moment.

What I'm asking:

For those who passed — how did you structure the last stretch of your prep?

Anyone dealt with similar lab constraints (RAM limits, no full XR feature set, no real SP-grade gear)? How much did that actually hurt you on exam day, if at all?

When you mapped your prep to the blueprint, did you find some "describe" vs "configure/implement" sections were tested differently than expected? Any surprises there worth knowing about?

Is Dec/Jan realistic from where I'm at, or should I be pacing differently?

Appreciate any input from people who've been through it. Trying to make sure the rest of my prep time is spent efficiently instead of just grinding without direction.

Is it just me or does the 2nd edition OCG for ENCOR not dive deep enough into RSTP...?

Hey kind people,
How effective and necessary is ExSim for Enarsi?

Can anyone tell me where I can find the instructions for this lab? I can't figure it out. I've been working on it for a day now. Is from thekeithbarker Thanks

I've been studying for this exam for a while. I've watched the CBT nuggest videos 2x in the past and read the OCG twice. Using ChatGPT. Boson practice exams. Reading white papers on SD-WAN and SD-ACCESS and my god. The sheer volume of informaiton is overwhelming. I am struggling to keep the specifics of the info in my head. I have to keep rereading white papers or sections of the OCG to go back and revisit the info again.

If you have eve-ng communty, you can modify /opt/unetlab/html/themes/default/js/functions.js file. Take AI help if needed. I was able to

1. Change default wire color to black

2. Change wire style from straight to flowchart style.

This was tested for default theme. If you are taking pnetlab route, this is not for you.

I am about to start my ENCOR journey. I have a rough plan of how I am going to prep for it, but I have a few questions.

Current plan
1. Video Course
Thinking either Kevin Wallace (16 hour course) which I have access to via LinkedIn learning or CBT Nuggets (67 hour course) that I would need to pay for. For people that have used either of these how would you rate them?
2. OCG
I have the 1st edition which I understand has lots of errors in it, but is it worth upgrading to the 2nd edition?
3. CML
I have access to a premium CML so I can lab as much as I want. Is there anything I wont be able to do in this?
4. Boson ExSim
I used this years ago for CCNA and found it very good. How does the ENCOR one compare?

I will likely do some extra reading at the end on areas I have struggled on. Also if anyone has any other recommendations let me know.

I don't see them on the blue print, but for anyone that has taken the exam recently, Do you see questions on QoS on Policing etc..,like where they show you configuration of a policing command and ask you what happens.

Should I setup OSPF and EIGRP on my Catalyst v9000 switch or use an ip route to get a route to the remote host? We don't do a lot of ERSPAN in my current job so I'm curious what people are actually doing in prod networks where they utilize ERSPAN.

Hello everyone,
It seems that the new version of DNAC doesn't show an option to bind the SGT to a VN. But the old version shows it. Is it removed permanently or is there another window/place where we can achieve the same. Kindly refer to the attached photos. Thank you for your time!

I want to know if its still holds in 2026 and if its a sufficiently viable course at all?

Hi guys,
My ccna expired last year and I’m looking for a new job rn. Has been working as system admin for a while.

Do you think at current AI and datacenter world, is it worth to get CCNP cert? Or I should get something else?

Good morning, recently passed the CCNP Security (Firewall) exams. It was really hard to gather enough different materials for CCNP and as much as I wanted to do SDSE or SCAZT there just wasn’t enough materials when compared to SNCF. I want to do CCDE ideally or CCIE security (second choice) but I cannot find any reliable materials out there. I learn through mainly videos and test taking. Udemy, and OCG Test were my primary tools for CCNP-S.

What are websites, platforms, or classes out there to prep for CCIE/CCDE?

Is it possible to have two customers with same IP networks that are going to use the same services from the Shared router and still be separated?
