The passing score is 690 and you have 61 questions, if I remember correctly.
They are all multiple choice. You do not have to type in commands any more,
as in the ACRC test. The exam focuses on VLSM, CIDR, OSPF (single and
multi-area), E-IGRP, BGP (internal and external, plus scalability features),
route redistribution and policy-based routing.
Be familiar with the theory and configuration commands for the above topics
as they are guaranteed to turn up on the test. Know OSPF, E-IGRP and BGP
route summarisation, know how these protocols function (in detail) and make
sure that you are quite familiar with their algorithms and how they
calculate network reachability. Know BGP *thoroughly*. There are many
questions about it and you need to know how it works in great depth. Know
all the path attributes and the ways in which BGP routers communicate with
one another.
I can't stress all this enough. The exam is substantially different from
ACRC. You have to know all about how these scalable routing protocols work,
as well as how distance vector protocols function. There are the odd few
questions about those, too. BGP is probably the most significant difference
between the Routing 2.0 exam and the old ACRC test.
