Share your ENCOR v1.2 Experience

Just pass today. It’s true that there’s a lot of questions. I honestly just guess the answers more than half of the multiple choice questions. The good thing is I manage to complete the labs perfectly so I suggest focus more on the labs and understand the concept and do not just memorized it. I used EVE-NG and this helps me master the labs.
Labs:
– acl & copp simulation (ssh)
– vrf configuration sim 2 (vrf finance)
– lacp & root bridge – LACP based on 2 ports, no shutdown, no switchport access vlan
– ebgp neighbor sim 2 (using address family)
– ospf summarization 2 – network and advertise /17
– netflow sim – udp 2055 + exporter

Passed my exam today. Like others, 6 labs in the beginning.
– Access-list & CoPP Sim (Permit OSPF, Telnet for CoPP)
– VRF Configuration Sim (VRF CORP)
– LACP & Root Bridge Sim
– eBGP Neighbor Sim 2 (using Address Family, Advertise all networks incl 3 Loopbacks)
– OSPF Summarization Sim (Use Interface command and summarized route /16)
– NetFlow Sim 2 (ICMP)

And 59 questions out of which 15–20% were new.

Good luck!!

Passed my exam 7/24. 6
– Access-list & CoPP Sim (Permit EIGRP, Telnet for CoPP)
– VRF Configuration Sim 2
– LACP & Root Bridge Sim
– eBGP Neighbor Sim 2 (using Address Family, Advertise all networks incl 3 Loopbacks)
– OSPF Summarization Sim (Use Interface command and summarized route /20)
– NetFlow Sim 2 (ICMP)

10-12 questions are new
mostly 1.2 and others are found in 1.1

@Ms Runner
What is the purpose of ‘no shutdown’ and ‘switchport access vlan’ commands in the LACP & root bridge lab? I don’t see them in the lab.

@JKS
In LACP and root bridge sim the the portchannel isn’t coming up, reason is the port is shutdown and it is configured as switchoprt access vlan 21 so you need to unshut and removed the initial config of the interfaces before doing the portchannel config

I passed the exam today, let me tell you there were 10-15 new questions about network automation, sd wan etc.
But if you understand the labs and part 7 well, I think you can pass the exam.

can you use auto complete tab in exam ?

@IliaTopuria or anyone that passed were the questions and aswers identical to the ones ur learning

Will i get access to all actual ENCOR labs if i get a premium membership?

i just passed yesterday evening (27/7/2025), yes you can use tab in the exam. it works, even ? works with minimum list of cli commands. labs are all same but not identical as the AS number, router number and the design are rotated and instead of R10 it become R1 and some cases the configuration changed instead of config R20 you need to config R20.

– eBGP Neighbor Sim 2
– Access-list & CoPP Sim (Configure R20 instead of R10 and config telnet)
– VRF Configuration Sim 2 (VRF Finance) i used the old command (vrf definition Finance) it works
– NetFlow Sim 2 (session 2)
– LACP & Root Bridge Sim (config s30 only)
– eBGP Neighbor Sim (AS1, AS2, AS3)

if can please verify at the end please verify 1 time as mentioned in the Simulator. cos some cases you enter the command but its not capture.. its missing in sh run.

@John Yes, I just read v1.2 part 1-7

Passed today (July 28, 2026).

Labs:
eBGP Neighbor Sim 2
Access-List & CoPP Sim (SSH)
Netflow Sim 2 (Fix exporter destination)
VRF Sim 2 (VRF Finance)
LACP & Root Bridge Sim
OSPF Summarization Sim 2 (/19 summary)

60-70% of multiple choice were from v1.2 parts.

@MorganFreeMango, yes you will get all labs to practice on the website or via EVE NG. They will share the procedure.

@digitaltut please reply, when will your Practice Multiple Questions and LABS (online simulator) will be back? maybe just the reviewer (MCQ v1.2 Part 1 to Part 7 and the LABS) please

Hi All,

Is the v1.2 part 7 still have 78 questions or any new ones added? my premium has just expired and my test is next week.

many thanks

@digitaltut some interactive labs are still giving 404 like OSPF and ebgp ones

Some members expirations on place, can you check them?

Is version 1.2 available with a premium membership?

Passed today. Had these sims

VRF Configuration Sim 2
eBGP Neighbor Sim 2
OSPF Summarization Sim 2 – /19
LACP & Root Bridge Sim
NetFlow Sim 2
Access-list & CoPP Sim – SSH

Sims all good. Only difference I recall was ‘NetFlow Sim 2’ had to configure flow exporter, not use the flow monitor. Had to add ‘destination ‘ in flow exporter.

About 60-70% of the multiple choice questions were from ENCOR v1.2 questions. At least a couple were from v1.1.

I want to thanks Digitaltut for all the information.
I passed today as everybody mention the labs are the most important to pass.

VRF Configuration Finance
eBGP Neighbor Sim 2
OSPF Summarization Sim 2 – /17
LACP & Root Bridge Sim
NetFlow Sim
Access-list & CoPP Sim – ICMP

At some point I felt I coudn´t pass due to the new automation questions( around 15) but at the end everything was ok , I recommend to practice the labs which are the most important and QuestionsV1.2 are enough.

pd i feel Cisc@Sys it testing us what we know and how we know.

I wish the best for everybody.

passed, today.

– only studied v1.2 parts 1-7 + labs (all of them just in case)
– labs are the exact six everyone is posting about, spent over an hour here and they all come first randomly, just memorize these right before starting.
– very little DD, maybe 5 at most.
– MCQ just like everyone is saying, there are new ones but if you MURDER THE LABS, you will be fine.
– note, mostly new SDA \ SDW stuff with 1-2 new JSON, but who cares
– finished with only 1mins on the clock, buzzer beater

GOODLUCK FOLKS

Passed two days ago. Thank you @digitaltut for all those good stuff.
All those 6 lablets everyone mentioned. You start with those 6 labs first. Pace yourself to leave enough time for multiple choice questions.
I have gotten 6 to 8 questions regarding aaa, around 15 questions on SDN (SD-Access/SD_WAN)
1 regarding old technology VSS(CAT 6500 switches), few questions on wireless, around 10 on automation (script formation drag and drop, correct Jason format, EEM) the rest onesies and twosies on security AMP, next gen Firewall, virtualizations and etc (type 1 type2)

Material I used: only studied v1.2 parts 1-7 + labs

Best of luck
Cheers!
