Share your ENARSI v1.1 Experience

@ABC yes it’s the same but other parameters

Are there any new questions that you can share with us? Is the netflow lab classic netflow or flexible netflow config?

@Enarsi flexible netflow

I pass the exam today,
3 Labs and 43 questions.
one lab from here with some changes, Nearly all questions from here.
Lab 1, Dhcp helper address and IP sla start and track command.
Lab 2, Vrf and Eigrp connections like VRF & EIGRP Sim (Draft Version), but with meny connections to do in eigrp, wrong AS, no auto-summary, and named eigrp.
Lab 3, Hub and spoke phase 1 on the hub and one more task that I didnt to it.

Passed yesterday

3 labs: EIGRP+VRF, DHCP+NETFLOW+IPSLA, and DMVPN.
40 questions, no drag and drop.

Passed the exam. just now done with exam. 3 labs: EIGRP+VRF, DHCP+NETFLOW+IPSLA, and DMVPN.
43 questions, no drag and drop.

EIGRP VRF is not the same lab as here, it is a bit different. routes in sales vrf needs to establish Eigrp with R2 and R3 ( where vrfs are configured) , R1 and R2 should ping each others loopback interface.

R3(vrf router) is peered with R4 via Eigrp ( acls applied to block eigrp traffic on R4)

In DHcP lab IP SLA configuration was pre-configured but incorrect, had to reconfigure it.
DMVP lab was phase, configuration changes needs to be done on Hub router. After the VPN is established task was to advertise the Spoke routes to each other using the EIGRP.

Neflow configuration lab is not same as here, it was about cache.

Netflow was about “ show flow monitor cache” was not yielding any output
Also, DMVPN was a bit tricky, the hub router was already learning the Spoke loopbacks via OSPF. You need to make the changes on the hub router so that spokes with learn each other routes via EIGRP. I did not complete this lab, I just tried to redistribute ospf into eigrp and change the metrics so it installs eigrp routes. Not sure if that was correct.

Most of my time was killed in labs, so manage your time, practice multiple scenarios in lab and then attempt.

Good luck and thanks networktut

The output for command was not showing any data show flow monitor cache. This was the netflow lab. Missing configuration on Interfaces of R3. The topology is a bit different than what is the draft version.

Good luck everyone and thanks Networktut

What were the questions? Were they from the new enarsi part 1-8 or enarsi v1.1? Can you give more specific detail?

All questions were from part 1-8, 5-6 new questions.

Thanks for the info. Do you remember any of the new questions?

The labs are:
1. DMVPN – phase2, configure the spokes and the hub with the correct commands. Apply eigrp configuration for phase 2.
2. VRF + EIGRP – here you had to do a lot of things. Configure eigrp+vrf according to tasks on the two primary routers + eigrp on the other routers
3. DHCP helper address missing on L3 switch, track+ip sla – check the track config as well as the sla config. Apply the track to the primary route, increase AD to the secondary. Classical netflow top10 talkers, sort by bytes. Apply on ingress/egress on the interface of the router.

The questions were mixed. Do not loose patience and time on the labs, you will not be able to finish all the questions. Practice different scenarios. It seems they tweak different small things on the labs to test your knowledge. Good luck and thanks

hello,
does questions still valid? please share your experience
Good Luck Guys!

The questions are valid

When can we expect the DHCP helper address lab?

Passed the exam yesterday..

43 questions

There were tree labs:
1. EIGRP + VRF
2. HDCP + IPSLA + NetFlow
3. DMVPN

Lab1:
The EIGRP + VRF lab similar to the on in here, but there are router instead of switches and no sub interfaces, two separate links used to connect both Core routers.

R1, R4 in Sales VRF AS 500
R5, R6 in Admin VRF AS 600

R2 and R3 are as Core PE routers, their interfaces are preconfigured with VRF and IP addresses.

ALL links use /30 prefix, R5s Loopback0 isn’t advertised to EIGRP, and R6s EIGRP has auto summarization ON, so you need to disable it.

Lab 2:

Task 1. DHCP server has wrong default-gateway address configured, fix it.
1.1 Switch that has no helper address configured, configure it.

Task 2. IP SLA,

it configured as tcp-connect port 80, but no other options like frequency and timeout set. I don’t really understand IP SLA but I set those parameters, rescheduled it and enabled both IP SLA responder and http server on the destination router. After that IP SLA was in status OK.

Task 3. NetFlow, as far as I remember, I set the top talkers, and set the by bytes. I had traditional one, not Flexible NetFlow.

Lab 3. DMVPN

Couldn’t figure out this one.
One HQ routers, two branch routers. Branch routers fully preconfigured and has destination set manually. IPsec profile preconfigured, you need to set it under tunnel interface of HQ router.

I tried to disable destination command for branches. And configured HQ. But the command IP nhrp map multicast dynamic didn’t installed under tunnel interface, I tried many things and lost a lot of time on it.

It was hard for me, but because of the last lab I had 1 minute left when finished finished with all questions.

Congrats banana,

questions was same? is it valid?

you need phase 2 config on the spokes, no ip next hop self and no split horizon on the hub

guys they change small things in the labs. for example for dmvpn you need to know what is phase 1,2,3 and how to configure tunnel interfaces, how to apply different routing protocols. I wouldnt be suprised if next is bgp in dmvpn or mpls in eigrp sim.

Failed exam today and i would like to share my insights to you guys.

SIMs:

Topics were same, but the tasks were different. I would say 2/3 were completely different sims.
Eigrp+vrf – just different IPs, Lo etc, but the current lab will prepare you well.
Dhcp+Sla+Netflow – completely different, dhcp was already setup, but you have to troubleshoot static IP assingment. SLA was focused on DNS availability and netflow was classic netflow setup, not the top talkers.
Lastly DMVPN was meant to setup phase 1 and make eigrp to propagate routes from spokes to each other.

As for questions, i did like last 4 question parts (5-8) and i had like 3-5 familiar questions in test. Rest was new to me, hopefully they came from the other part of questions.
My strategy was to rush it in short time and give it a try as it is not my main field.
Wanted to share with you my insights, wish you all the luck!
This was not my first exam, but first that i failed cause i was not prepared enough and unlucky probably.

I guys,

Any update ? I am going to take the exam tomorrow.

good Luck tshoot.
Please share your experience after the exam.

Guys update the simulations we are really being caught off guard

When can we expect updated labs?

Hi, I passed the exam last week.

First I did 3 lab, then 40 questions. All questions are from parts 1-8 (maybe only few new questions and some of them can be differently phrased, read carefully).

lab1
dhcp – missing relay address on the sw2
ip sla – track item to be cretead with reachability option
net flow – apply to the interface

lab2
dmvpn phase 1 + eigrp

lab3
eigrp + vrf (confused with configuration between vrf to non-vrf eirgp)

I passed the exam today.
Thank you, networktut.

There were 3 lab questions and 40 questions.
Drag and drop wasn’t an issue.
Also, questions from Parts 1 through 8 were evenly distributed.
I recommend doing them all.
There were 3 questions I hadn’t seen before, but if you understand Parts 1 through 8, you can answer them all.

Next are the lab questions.

#######No.1.DHCP & SLA & Flexible NetFlow ########

First, the configuration was different from DHCP IP SLA & NetFlow (Draft Version).

Task 1
The DHCP question was about DHCP static binding.
Dynamic DHCP and static DHCP pools were configured from the start, and IP helpers were also configured.
The client-side node was initially learning using dynamic DHCP, so the question asked me to change it to learning using static DHCP.
Since “ip address dhcp” was applied to the client side, I applied “ip address dhcp client-id Ethernet x/x.” Renewing dhcp Ethernet x/x resolved the issue.

Task 2
Next, regarding the SLA question, the DNS SLA settings were applied but not working. The SLA settings seem fine, but name resolution wasn’t working. I tried using ip name server and no ip domain lookup, but it didn’t resolve the issue.

Task 3
Finally, Flexible NetFlow.
The question asked me to apply the settings as shown in the output of “show sampler SAMPLER-1.”

This was already configured to some extent, as shown below.

flow record v4_r1
match ipv4 tos
match ipv4 protocol
match ipv4 source address
match ipv4 destination address
match transport source-port
match transport destination-port
collect counter bytes long
collect counter packets long
!
flow monitor FLOW-MONITOR-1
record v4_r1
exit
!
sampler SAMPLER-1
mode random 1 out-of 2
exit

Furthermore, the sampler was not applied to the interface, as shown below.
interface ethernet x/x
ip flow monitor FLOW-MONITOR-1 input

So, I added a sampler as shown below.
interface ethernet x/x
ip flow monitor FLOW-MONITOR-1 sampler SAMPLER-1 input

########No.2.DMVPN Phase 2########
This was easy.
If you’ve solved dmvpn-configuration-sim-3, it’s a breeze.

Task 1
There was a rule that prohibited changes to the HUB side settings.
All you need to do is apply the spoke side settings.
There are two spoke routers.
Interface tunnel 10 already exists, so apply the missing settings from the DMVPN configuration.
Specifically, I added the following:
interface tunnel 10
ip nhrp network-id xx
ip nhrp nhs xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
tunnel mode gre multipoint
ip mtu 1476

Applying this established OSPF over the tunnel.
Basically, you can find this by looking at the hub settings.

Task 2
The question asked me to apply an IPsec profile to the spoke router.
Here too, there was a rule that the hub should not change the settings.
Just apply the following settings and you’re done.

interface tunnel 10
tunnel protection ipsec profile IPSec_Profile

##########No3.VRF & EIGRP Sim (Draft Version)#######
This can be easily solved by solving the problems provided by networktut.

Task 1 is almost the same.
Establish EIGRP neighbor relationships AS500 & AS600 for VRF Sales & Admin.
Also, in the R3 settings, “ip access-group BLOCK in” and “ip access-group BLOCK out” were applied to R4, causing EIGRP to flap.
An additional question asked me to remove them if necessary.

Task 2
In my case, R1 was set to EIGRP AS600.
The question asked me to confirm that pings can be sent between the loopbacks between R1 and R4.

The last line of the question warned me to set EIGRP to no auto summary.
In the initial configuration, auto summary was applied to all routers.

Good luck, everyone!

I failed the exam yesterday. I’d say time management was my problem.

The three labs are completed first. Even though I knew how to solve them, it looks like I took too much time to complete them. By the time I was done, I had about 50 minutes to complete all the questions. The exam is 90 minutes, and I’d say you’d need to complete the labs within 5-10 minutes max. Otherwise, the question session is going to be a rush and not much time to do some analysis.

Labs were the same explained here in the last few posts:
1. EIGRP and VRF, a little variation but if you know the concepts you should be good to go.
2. DMVPN, some configuration was there but you need to figure the rest. I also had one of the crypto key wrong and had to be corrected. (from cisco!23 to cisco123)
3. DHCP + IPflow top talkers.

Again, the exam isn’t just about know the topics and identifying the tricky questions but the do it fast.

I’ll try again next week. Good luck guys.

@original_zomby question is valid or not? have you any new questions?

I definitely saw a few questions from here but I also notice similar questions with different pictures or the same picture but different question.

My advice is to get to know the concept behind the question. You’d be able to identify maybe 50% of the questions but the other 50% you’d have to respond based on your reasoning.

If you understand how the protocol works you will easily pass, but if you just memorize it you won’t pass.
It will be difficult to pass while you are constantly being asked new questions.
