Cisco CLCOR 350-801 (Collaboration Core) Practice Exam

Implementing Cisco Collaboration Core Technologies (CLCOR 350-801) - the core exam for the CCNP Collaboration certification and a qualifying exam for CCIE Collaboration, covering infrastructure and design (the components of a collaboration deployment and how they divide responsibility, on-premises, hosted and hybrid models, network services the endpoints depend on including addressing, time, name resolution and power over ethernet, network readiness and quality expectations, licensing and capacity planning, resilience and redundancy, certificates and the trust that registration depends on, and structured troubleshooting across team boundaries), protocols, codecs and endpoints (call signalling and the messages that establish, modify and end a call, media transport and the reports that describe its quality, codec negotiation and the trade between bandwidth and quality, secure signalling and secure media, endpoint types and their provisioning, registration and the keepalives that maintain it, and reading a capture to separate a signalling fault from a media one), gateway and media resources (dial peers and the order in which they are matched, digit manipulation inbound and outbound, provider trunks and session border control, conference bridges, transcoders, media termination points, announcements and hold audio, resource groups and lists, tone relay and fax treatment, survivability when the platform is unreachable, and call detail records), call control (partitions and calling search spaces, digit analysis and pattern specificity, translation and transformation patterns, route patterns, lists and groups, device pools, regions and locations, call admission control, time-based routing and authorisation codes, line groups, shared lines, forwarding, pickup and park, single number reach and extension mobility, clusters, replication and trunks between clusters, emergency call routing and location accuracy, remote registration and device mobility, call preservation, forwarding loops and media anchoring), quality of service (why voice needs different treatment, classification and marking, trust boundaries, priority queueing and its allocation, policing and shaping, bandwidth reservation and the overhead a call actually consumes, header compression and fragmentation on slow links, jitter buffers, loss concealment, quality scoring and locating an impairment, wireless and internet paths, and operating a marking scheme without eroding it), and collaboration applications (presence and its sources, messaging and persistent conversations, clients and service discovery, meetings scheduled and immediate, room systems and their calendars, recording and retention, external participants and admission, unified messaging, auto attendants and directory handlers, mailboxes, greetings and notification rules, hybrid deployments and identity alignment, interoperability between meeting platforms, integrations and the access they hold, licensing by person, and adoption).

A sample of 10 questions with answers and explanations. Sign up free to practice all 771.

  1. Question 1Infrastructure and Design

    Which describes an on premises collaboration deployment compared with a cloud one?

    • AThe organisation runs and upgrades the call control software on its own serversCorrect
    • BThe organisation runs the endpoints while the provider runs everything else
    • CThe organisation buys the endpoints and the provider owns them thereafter
    • DThe organisation uses a provider's dial plan and cannot define its own
    ✓ Correct answer: A

    Owning the software means owning the upgrade cycle, the sizing and the availability design, which is the trade being made against the subscription model. Running only the endpoints, provider owned hardware and an imposed dial plan describe three other arrangements.

    Why the other options are wrong
    • BRunning only the endpoints while the provider runs the rest is a cloud model.
    • CThe provider does not take ownership of endpoints the organisation bought.
    • DAn on premises deployment defines its own dial plan rather than inheriting one.
  2. Question 2Infrastructure and Design

    Which describes the endpoint identity certificate installed at manufacture?

    • AIt proves the device is genuine hardware from that manufacturerCorrect
    • BIt proves the user signed in to the device is who they claim to be
    • CIt carries the configuration the device should apply at startup
    • DIt carries the licence entitling the device to register
    ✓ Correct answer: A

    It authenticates the device rather than the person holding it, which is exactly the distinction that matters when somebody is deciding what a certificate actually buys them. Proving who the signed in user is, carrying the configuration to apply at startup and carrying a licence to register are three quite different things.

    Why the other options are wrong
    • BThe user is authenticated separately from the device certificate.
    • CConfiguration is downloaded rather than carried in the certificate.
    • DLicensing is held by the platform rather than in a device certificate.
  3. Question 3Protocols, Codecs, and Endpoints

    Which message begins a session between two endpoints?

    • AAn invitation carrying the caller's proposed media descriptionCorrect
    • BAn acknowledgement confirming a session that already exists
    • CA registration binding an endpoint to its call control platform
    • DA termination request ending a session that is in progress
    ✓ Correct answer: A

    It carries what the caller can do as well as the request itself, which is why the answer to it can complete the media negotiation in a single exchange. An acknowledgement, a registration and a termination each belong at a different point in the life of a session.

    Why the other options are wrong
    • BAn acknowledgement confirms rather than begins a session.
    • CA registration binds an endpoint and does not start a call.
    • DA termination request ends a session rather than beginning one.
  4. Question 4Protocols, Codecs, and Endpoints

    Which risk does a blind transfer carry that a consultative one does not?

    • AThe caller can be delivered to a destination that cannot answer themCorrect
    • BThe caller is disconnected as soon as the transfer begins
    • CThe transferring party remains on the call until it ends
    • DThe destination is charged for the call rather than the caller
    ✓ Correct answer: A

    Nobody has checked that the destination is actually available to take it, so the caller can easily end up listening to a ringing telephone or a voicemail box they never asked for. Being disconnected as the transfer begins, the transferring party remaining on the call and the destination being charged are three consequences that do not follow.

    Why the other options are wrong
    • BThe caller is transferred rather than disconnected.
    • CThe transferring party leaves the call rather than remaining on it.
    • DThe destination is not charged for the call instead of the caller.
  5. Question 5Cisco IOS XE Gateway and Media Resources

    Which describes the role of a voice gateway in a collaboration deployment?

    • AIt connects the internal call control platform to an external telephone networkCorrect
    • BIt registers endpoints on behalf of the call control platform
    • CIt stores the configuration files that endpoints download at startup
    • DIt holds the directory from which user names are resolved for display
    ✓ Correct answer: A

    It is the point at which the organisation's own numbering and signalling meet somebody else's, which is why so much of what it does is translation rather than switching. Registering endpoints, storing configuration and holding a directory are three functions performed elsewhere.

    Why the other options are wrong
    • BEndpoints register to the call control platform rather than to the gateway.
    • CConfiguration files are served by a configuration server.
    • DThe directory is a separate service from the voice gateway.
  6. Question 6Cisco IOS XE Gateway and Media Resources

    Which describes a voice port on a gateway?

    • AIt is the physical interface a call arrives on or leaves throughCorrect
    • BIt is the logical rule deciding which calls the gateway will accept
    • CIt is the number identifying the gateway to the call control platform
    • DIt is the range of addresses the gateway will use for media streams
    ✓ Correct answer: A

    Keeping the port separate from the peer that references it is what tells you whether a fault is in the wiring or in the configuration, which is the first split worth making. A logical rule deciding which calls are accepted, a number identifying the gateway and a range of media addresses are three quite different things.

    Why the other options are wrong
    • BA logical rule deciding which calls are accepted is a dial peer.
    • CThe number identifying the gateway to the platform is not a voice port.
    • DThe range of addresses used for media streams is not a voice port.
  7. Question 7Call Control

    Which describes a code a caller must enter before an expensive call proceeds?

    • AIt records who authorised the call and can be required per patternCorrect
    • BIt records which gateway the call left through for later reporting
    • CIt replaces the caller's search space for the duration of the call
    • DIt selects which codec the call will negotiate with the far end
    ✓ Correct answer: A

    Attaching a person to a costly call is what makes the record useful afterwards, and requiring it per pattern is what keeps ordinary calls unencumbered. Recording the gateway used, replacing the caller's search space and selecting the codec are three quite different functions.

    Why the other options are wrong
    • BThe gateway a call left through is recorded without any code being entered.
    • CThe code does not replace the caller's search space for the call.
    • DThe code does not select which codec the call will negotiate.
  8. Question 8Call Control

    Which describes a name shown alongside a number on an internal call?

    • AThe platform resolves the number to a configured name and sends bothCorrect
    • BThe calling endpoint sends the name it has been configured with locally
    • CThe receiving endpoint looks the number up in its own stored directory
    • DThe provider resolves the number to a name from a public directory
    ✓ Correct answer: A

    Resolving centrally means one correction fixes the name everywhere, which is why a wrong name is a configuration record rather than a problem with anybody's device. A name sent by the calling endpoint, a lookup on the receiving endpoint and a provider resolution are three quite different mechanisms.

    Why the other options are wrong
    • BThe calling endpoint does not supply the name from its own configuration.
    • CThe receiving endpoint does not look the number up in a stored directory.
    • DThe provider does not resolve internal numbers to names.
  9. Question 9Call Control

    Which describes the order in which a dial plan should be documented?

    • ABy the path a call takes, so a reader can follow one call from end to endCorrect
    • BBy the date each element was configured, so the history is preserved
    • CBy the name of each element, so any element can be found alphabetically
    • DBy the number of calls each element handles, so the busiest appear first
    ✓ Correct answer: A

    Documentation that follows a call is documentation somebody can use during an incident, which is the only time most dial plan documentation is ever opened. Ordering by configuration date, alphabetically by name and by call volume are three arrangements that each serve a different and less useful purpose.

    Why the other options are wrong
    • BThe date each element was configured is rarely what a reader needs.
    • CAn alphabetical order by name breaks the path a call takes.
    • DThe number of calls handled does not help a reader follow one call.
  10. Question 10QoS

    Which describes reviewing a quality design after a change in how people work?

    • AThe assumptions about where traffic flows may no longer hold and need testingCorrect
    • BThe design is independent of where traffic flows and needs no review
    • CThe design should be rebuilt from the beginning whenever anything changes
    • DThe design should be reviewed only when a formal complaint is received
    ✓ Correct answer: A

    A design built around a busy office and a quiet wide area is the wrong design once most of the calls come from elsewhere, and testing the assumptions is cheaper than discovering it from complaints. Independence from traffic flow, rebuilding from scratch and waiting for complaints are three positions that are each unhelpful.

    Why the other options are wrong
    • BThe design depends heavily on where the traffic actually flows.
    • CRebuilding from the beginning discards work that remains perfectly valid.
    • DWaiting for a formal complaint means the problem has already been felt.
