The CCNP Collaboration Core CLCOR 350-801 certification exam is the foundational assessment for the Cisco Certified Network Professional Collaboration certification track. It validates a candidate's core knowledge and skills required to implement and operate collaboration and communication solutions in enterprise environments. Passing this exam demonstrates comprehensive understanding of infrastructure, protocols, call control, QoS, and integration of on-premises, cloud, and hybrid solutions. Professionals who earn this certification prove their ability to design, deploy, configure, and troubleshoot complex collaboration architectures involving Cisco Unified Communications Manager (on-premises and cloud), collaboration applications, and endpoints. This credential is recognized globally as a benchmark for senior-level collaboration engineering and architecture roles, signaling both technical depth and the practical expertise needed to drive business outcomes through unified communications technologies.
Sample Questions

During a 2026 cutover window, a collaboration engineer supports a mixed Cisco UCM 15 and Webex Calling estate with 2,700 users across Denver, Austin, and Montreal. The active work item is cluster upgrade. A Cisco UCM cluster upgrade is planned during a weekend, and the team wants to avoid an unsupported mixed-version state. A legacy spreadsheet lists old Jabber notes, but the current scope is CLCOR v2.0 and Webex App. Change record CLCOR-815-009 includes a site-specific note for case 9. Which diagnosis or action best fits the evidence and avoids treating a symptom as the root cause?
A financial-services tenant runs IOS XE 17.12 gateways, Control Hub-managed Webex services, and strict change freezes at month end. The active work item is QoS design. A wireless-first campus has acceptable call routing but intermittent choppy audio whenever guest traffic spikes. NTP is healthy, but a junior administrator recently changed two device pools. Change record CLCOR-815-010 includes a site-specific note for case 10. Which choice is the best match for this blueprint requirement in the scenario?
During a 2026 cutover window, a collaboration engineer supports a mixed Cisco UCM 15 and Webex Calling estate with 2,700 users across Denver, Austin, and Montreal. The active work item is disaster recovery. A restore rehearsal is scheduled after a failed storage event, and the security team asks whether certificates and node identity can be ignored. NTP is healthy, but a junior administrator recently changed two device pools. Change record CLCOR-815-024 includes a site-specific note for case 24. Which implementation step should the engineer take first?
A manufacturing company has plant-floor phones, Webex App users, and a SIP provider that rejects unsupported media and identity headers. The active work item is dial plan design. A global dial plan review finds overlapping four-digit extensions and inconsistent PSTN presentation from three countries. A legacy spreadsheet lists old Jabber notes, but the current scope is CLCOR v2.0 and Webex App. Change record CLCOR-815-005 includes a site-specific note for case 5. Which choice is the best match for this blueprint requirement in the scenario?

NTP is healthy, but a junior administrator recently changed two device pools. Change record CLCOR-815-004 includes a site-specific note for case 4. Which implementation step should the engineer take first?
