How CrushCert gets you exam-ready

WHAT SETS US APART

Hands-on Cisco labs

Type real Cisco IOS commands into a simulated terminal, then drag-and-drop and troubleshoot live topologies. This is where the exam is won — and what flashcard apps can't give you.

Adaptive practice

The algorithm tracks every question you miss and serves more of those topics, so your weak areas get more reps and every session moves your score.

Realistic mock exams

Full-length, timed tests that mirror the real exam — countdown timer, question navigator, mark-for-review, and a 80% pass line so you know you're ready before exam day.

Sample CCNP Data Center (DCCOR) practice questions

Sample — Network
Which Nexus feature lets two switches appear as one to a downstream device?
A) HSRP
B) STP
C) vPC ✓
D) VRRP

Virtual Port Channel (vPC) lets two Nexus switches present themselves as a single logical device to a downstream switch or server. Every CrushCert question includes an explanation like this.

Sample — Network
Which ACI object defines the rules that allow communication between two EPGs?
A) Attachable Entity Profile
B) Filter only
C) Bridge domain
D) Contract ✓

Contracts (containing subjects and filters) are provided by one EPG and consumed by another, defining permitted traffic between them.

Sample — Security
Which protocol is used by MACsec for key agreement between peers?
A) MKA (MACsec Key Agreement) ✓
B) EAP-TLS certificate exchange
C) IKEv2 IPsec key negotiation
D) RADIUS centralized AAA server

MKA (MACsec Key Agreement), defined in IEEE 802.1X-2010, is the protocol used to discover peers, negotiate cipher suites, and distribute encryption keys (SAKs) for MACsec sessions between directly connected devices.

Sample — Storage Networking
Which Fibre Channel port type is used on a switch to connect to a server HBA?
A) N_Port
B) F_Port ✓
C) ISL Port
D) E_Port

An F_Port (Fabric port) is a switch port that connects to a server's N_Port (Node port) HBA. The F_Port is the access-layer connection point in a Fibre Channel SAN fabric.

Sample — Automation
Which data encoding format does NX-API REST use by default?
A) Protocol Buffers
B) JSON ✓
C) YAML
D) XML

NX-API REST uses JSON as its default data encoding format. It also supports XML. The API endpoint is accessed via HTTPS and returns structured data that can be easily parsed by automation tools and scripts.
