Imagine this: In 2025, you have Cisco 350-801 certification and your career doors are open to you. This is not a dream, it is the result of a plan.
As an assistant who is well versed in collaboration techniques, I will take you through the exam fog and get to the core.
Tight time, new technology, high pressure? Don’t worry, this guide is made for you.
Not just pass the exam, but become a master of collaboration technology by 2025.
Decoding 350-801 – Know Yourself, Know the Exam
Are you a novice or an experienced player now? Take 5 minutes to answer these 3 questions:
1) Can you configure CUCM?
2) What does QoS mean to you?
3) Do you understand the latest collaboration agreement?
The 2025 Cisco 350-801 CLCOR exam focuses on cloud collaboration, AI-powered call control — the latest sign of Cisco’s official roadmap.
In 2025, the impact of Webex integration and 5G will be more significant—these may be hidden considerations.
Build Your 350-801 Exam Prep Ecosystem
Base layer: Cisco 350-801 official learning paths + free YouTube tutorials (like CBT Nuggets).
Middle layer: Hands-on lab tools (Packet Tracer, EVE-NG).
Top-layer: Exam dumps (like Leads4Pass) + paid courses + community interaction (like Reddit’s r/ccnp).
Choose your ‘gear mix’ based on your budget and time.
Forget about linear planning! Use the ‘skill puzzle method’: put one piece together every day (theory + practice), and review the whole puzzle every week.
For example: fix the SIP protocol on Monday and simulate troubleshooting on Tuesday.

Question 5:
What is required when deploying co-resident VMs by using Cisco UCM?
A. Provide a guaranteed bandwidth of 10 Mbps.
B. Ensure that applications will perform QoS.
C. Avoid hardware oversubscription.
D. Deploy the VMs to a server running Cisco UCM.
Correct Answer: C
When deploying co-resident VMs by using Cisco UCM, it is important to avoid hardware oversubscription. This means that you should not assign more resources to the VMs than the physical hardware can provide.
For example, if you have a server with 16 CPU cores, you should not assign more than 16 CPU cores to the VMs. If you oversubscribe the hardware, the VMs will not be able to get the resources they need to run properly.
This can lead to performance problems and even outages. To avoid hardware oversubscription, you should carefully plan your VM deployments. You should also monitor the performance of the VMs to make sure that they are not overusing the resources.
Here are some additional tips for deploying co-resident VMs by using Cisco UCM:
Use a virtualization platform that supports Cisco UCM. Make sure that the VMs have the correct operating system and software installed. Configure the VMs to use the correct network settings. Monitor the performance of the VMs to make sure that they are running properly.

Question 11:
Refer to the exhibit.
This INVITE is sent to an endpoint that only supports G729. What must be done for this call to succeed?
A. Nothing: both sides support G.729.
B. Add a transcoder that supports G711ulaw and G.729.
C. Add a media termination point that supports G.711ulaw and G.729.
D. Nothing: both sides support payload type 101.
Correct Answer: B
A transcoder takes the media stream of one codec and transcodes (converts) it from one compression type to another compression type. For example, it could take a stream from a G.711 codec and transcode (convert) it in real time to a G.729 stream.
In addition to codec conversion, a transcoder resource can also provide MTP/TRP functionality to a call.
