April 24, Taipei CCNP 350-401 Pass

The exam had a total of 58 questions. While that doesn’t seem like a lot, the practical (LAB) questions were incredibly challenging. Although the question types were all within the question bank, the parameters were wildly different, making rote memorization a recipe for failure.

For example, the NetFlow question required adding `collector version 9`. Thankfully, customer service sent me the latest update and told me to make sure I checked the latest version; otherwise, I would have definitely been stuck on that part during the exam.

Also, the PortChannel question required manually disabling the original `access VLAN` in the e0/0-2 interface. I hadn’t noticed this detail during practice, but customer service representative 01 reminded me that “the default mode will conflict with the Trunk,” and sure enough, that was the problem during the exam! Without disabling it first, the subsequent configuration wouldn’t work at all.

In the multiple-choice section, one question tested the ICMPv6 multicast address. I hadn’t seen this question in the old question bank, but luckily I guessed it right based on my intuition. The second question, “Drag and Drop,” tested the path to the Ansible hosts file. I remember customer service telling me firmly beforehand, “You must remember it’s `/etc/ansible/hosts`,” and I easily got the points on that question too!
