This free 350-601 practice test mirrors the structure and difficulty of the real Cisco DCCOR / CCNP Data Center Core 350-601 exam. Every question is written against the official 2026 exam blueprint published by Cisco, ensuring you practise exactly what the exam tests — not last year's objectives.
The 350-601 blueprint is divided into 5weighted domains. Questions on this page are distributed proportionally across each domain, so the mix you see here reflects the same weighting you'll face on exam day. High-weight domains like Network and Compute contribute the most questions, meaning focused practice on these areas gives you the highest return on study time.

64 numbered sets, 5 domain question banks, and targeted sessions — every page is a unique set of questions.
Choose all correct answers
Each chapter page covers one topic in depth — theory, key concepts, and focused practice questions. Use these to close knowledge gaps before returning to full practice tests.
Getting the most from practice questions requires more than just clicking through answers. Here is the study method used by candidates who pass 350-601 on their first attempt:
Answer before revealing
Read each 350-601 question fully, eliminate obviously wrong choices, then commit to an answer before clicking to reveal. This active recall process is what builds lasting knowledge.
Read every explanation
Even when you answer correctly, read the full explanation. Knowing WHY the right answer is correct — and why the distractors are wrong — is what separates a 750 score from a 900 score.
Track weak domains
Note which 350-601 domains you get wrong most often. Then do a targeted 20-30 question session focused only on that domain until your accuracy improves.
Simulate exam pacing
The real 350-601 gives you roughly 1.3 minutes per question. Use the 60 or 120-question sessions to practise hitting that pace comfortably.
Most candidates who pass 350-601 on their first attempt report doing between 400 and 800 practice questions over 4–8 weeks of preparation. With 984+ questions in the Courseiva bank, you have more than enough material to build that repetition without seeing the same question twice.

A data center engineer is troubleshooting intermittent connectivity between two servers in different VLANs. The servers are connected to different leaf switches in a VXLAN EVPN fabric. When checking the fabric, the engineer notices that the NVE interface on one leaf is up/up but the VNI for the server VLAN is not listed in 'show nve vni'. What is the most likely cause?

An organization is deploying a new ACI fabric. The design requires that traffic between EPGs in the same bridge domain be allowed by default, but traffic between EPGs in different bridge domains must be denied unless explicitly permitted. Which contract scope configuration meets this requirement?

During a maintenance window, a network engineer plans to upgrade the NX-OS software on a pair of Nexus 9000 switches configured as vPC peers. The engineer wants to minimize traffic disruption. Which upgrade sequence is recommended?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation
A data center uses Cisco ACI with multiple tenants. The security policy requires that all traffic between EPGs must be explicitly allowed via contracts. However, the operations team reports that communication between two EPGs in the same bridge domain is working even though no contract is applied. What is the most likely reason?

An engineer is designing an automation solution for a large data center with multiple Cisco UCS Manager domains. Which approach best ensures idempotent configuration operations?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation
An engineer is deploying a new UCS chassis with two Fabric Interconnects. The design requires that server traffic can fail over to the secondary FI if the primary FI fails, without requiring any changes to the server's network configuration. Which technology must be enabled on the uplink ports of the Fabric Interconnects to the upstream switches to ensure transparent failover of server traffic?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation
A UCS administrator notices that a service profile associated with a vNIC template that uses 'fabric failover' is not failing over to the secondary Fabric Interconnect when the primary link goes down. The vNIC template is set to 'fabric failover' enabled, and both Fabric Interconnects are in the same VLAN. What is the most likely cause?

An engineer is configuring a UCS server profile for a database application that requires low latency. The server will use a Cisco UCS VIC 1340 adapter. Which vNIC placement policy should be selected to minimize latency?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation
Refer to the exhibit. A UCS administrator has configured vNIC templates as shown. Both Fabric Interconnects have identical uplink configurations. The vNIC templates have 'Failover: Enabled'. However, when Fabric Interconnect A fails, servers using vNIC-A do not fail over to Fabric Interconnect B. What is the most likely cause?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation
Refer to the exhibit. A server with vNIC eth0 is experiencing packet drops on its Ethernet interface. The server is sending jumbo frames (MTU 9000) on VLAN 100. The QoS system class 'Class-Platinum' has an MTU of 9216 and is configured with 'Drop'. The vNIC is not assigned to any QoS policy. What is the most likely reason for the drops?

An organization is deploying Cisco ACI in a brownfield data center. They have existing VLANs that need to be mapped to ACI EPGs. The network team notices that some VLANs are used across multiple tenants. How should the engineer design the VLAN pool to support overlapping VLANs?

Answer all 20 questions to see your domain score breakdown
A structured study plan dramatically increases your chances of passing 350-601 on the first attempt. The most effective approach combines reading the official Cisco documentation or a study guide, watching video explanations for difficult concepts, and then reinforcing everything with daily practice questions.
We recommend the following weekly structure for 350-601 preparation:
Cover each 350-601 domain systematically. Read the exam objectives, watch explanatory content, and do 10–20 practice questions per domain to test understanding as you go.
Run full 50–60 question mixed sessions daily. Review every wrong answer in detail. Identify which domains are consistently scoring below 70% and revisit those study materials.
Do 100–120 question timed sessions to simulate real exam conditions. Aim for consistent scores above 80% before booking your exam date. A score above 80% in practice typically translates to a passing 350-601 score.
On exam day, the 350-601 tests your ability to apply knowledge to realistic scenarios — not just recall definitions. This is why reading explanations and understanding the reasoning behind every answer matters more than simply grinding question volume. Use the high-count sessions (100, 120) in the final weeks as your confidence benchmark.

Every question is written against the official 350-601 exam blueprint published by Cisco. Our questions follow the same wording style, scenario complexity, and answer structure as the actual exam. They are original questions — not brain dumps — so you learn the underlying concepts and reasoning, not just memorised answers. Candidates who study with brain dumps often pass but have no transferable knowledge; Courseiva questions make you genuinely competent.
Most candidates who pass 350-601 on their first attempt do 30–60 questions per day. Use the Quick 10 session for daily warm-ups when you are short on time. On study days, run a 50 or 60-question session to build stamina. Reserve 100 and 120-question sessions for the final two weeks when you want to simulate real exam conditions and benchmark your readiness.
The 350-601 covers 5 domains: Network (25%), Storage Network (20%), Automation (15%), Compute (25%), Security (15%). Each domain carries a different weight, so allocate your study time accordingly. The highest-weighted domains — Network and Compute — should receive the most attention.
Exam dumps are memorised question-and-answer lists taken from actual exam papers, often obtained illegally and shared without Cisco's authorisation. Using them violates your NDA and Cisco's certification agreement, and can result in certification revocation. Courseiva questions are 100% original — written by certified engineers to test the same knowledge areas using new scenarios and wording. You learn the material, not just the answers.
Per-domain analytics, spaced repetition, daily challenges — and every other certification on the platform.
