================================== News September 2002: Cisco changes CCNP Routing Exam On September 13, Cisco Systems introduced a new version to its professional level Routing exam, known as Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI). BSCI has an additional section on the IS-IS protocol not previously covered in the BSCN course or exam. This exam, already in existence as part of the CCIP certification program, replaces Building Scalable Cisco Networks (BSCN), one of the four exams required for both the CCNP and CCDP certifications. Free Chapters from Cisco Press! Cisco Press published two titles originally created for BSCN preparation, Building Scalable Cisco Networks and CCNP Routing Exam Certification Guide. These titles are still excellent self-study tools in your overall preparation strategy for pursuit of CCNP or CCDP certifications. To assist candidates, Cisco Press is providing supplemental chapters on IS-IS. The BSCN supplemental material can be downloaded by clicking the links below. The Routing Exam Certification Guide supplement will be posted online for free download in mid-December. BSCN Supplement Chapter: Configuring IS-IS Protocol Addendum D: Summary of BSCN Router Commands Addendum G: Answers to the Review Questions Addendum H: Configuration Exercise Equipment Requirements and Backbone Configurations Addendum I: Glossary ================================== Regards, R.
