Hello, everyone.
I am taking the ENCOR exam in a few weeks.
I can happily say that I am very confident in Architecture, Virtualization, and Infra. As for architecture
This section is rather simple and apart from things like Wireless, there isn’t much that could go wrong.
The only thing that I am unsure of is maybe 1.2b Location services in a WLAN design. The OCGs do include some information about it but I am not really sure if it’s enough as this topic is not covered by many resources.
As for infra, the only topic that worries me is PTP:
3.4.a Interpret network time protocol configurations such as NTP and PTP
It’s one of the newer topics and my books only contain 2-3 pages regarding PTP. Then there is NetworkLessons that has an entire huge lesson about PTP. I also cannot configure it since it requires one of the higher-end routers in CML (that I cannot run and boot 
)
As for Assurance
4.5 Describe Cisco DNA Center workflows to apply network configuration, monitoring, and management
I generally hate any topics regarding DNA center. I didn’t have good experience with it on the ENARSI exam (I cannot say why of course). What I can say is that I feel like this topic always lacks the necessary coverage and the exam topics aren’t being clear about what they want you to know, especially NOT in ENARSI.
Then there is Security and Automation. I feel pretty confident in the topics mentioned there. I’ve programmed everything possible in Python - NETCONF, RESTCONF, Netmiko, even API calls to DNAC and vManage. Security is something that I still have to cover.
I generally have a good feeling about this. I’ve passed ENARSI before so the L3, troubleshooting, services, and VPNs are relatively easy for me at this point.
Do you guys have any advice in general about what to do in the next few weeks? What was your experience with the ENCOR exam?
Thank you.
David
