Re: Passed BSCN!
Hi, I took the test after 3 hours bus ride. This was my second for CCNP Cert. (first one was Switching 2.0) I was thinking I had prepared a lot, so I was confident before the test Total questions 61. allotted time 104 minutes, passing score 690 My score 919, time spent 65 minutes. In general, I'm satisfied with test and the results. But some of questions are still hard to understand what were right answers for them. First of all, the test follows the outline specified in Cisco site http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/10/wwtraining/certprog/testing/pdf/bscn.pdf In my case, I thought the test was evenly balanced between OSPF, EIGRP, BGP. Those three protocols were hugely questioned. Redistributions are covered a lot. And what I thought was tough was not individual protocol configuration, but their general features like this one. In BGP, what are the possible events caused when you have full mesh IBGP in your AS? What I prepared for the BSCN is as follows: 1. Building Scalable Cisco Networks , by Catherine Paquet I read it only once, but I should have read it at least twice. Most of Questions were from this book. And it is well written. 2. Routing TCP/IP, by Jeff Doyle I read it twice. For the second time, I just skipped ISIS part, which isn't covered in BSCN. 3. EIGRP Network Design Solutions, by Ivan Pepelnjak Just Once. I would like to recommend this, because it is very well written and there's no material on EIGRP than this. 4. Internet Routing Architectures, by Sam Halabi Twice, for the second, just flipped through it 5. OSPF Network Design Solutions, Thomas M. Thomas II Part of it. I don't want to recommend this. It's poorly written and contains many typos and hard to follow. 6. RFC 2328 - OSPF version 2 Well, I have to admit I'm still far from complete understanding of this protocol. Especially part 6. But after reading it greatly helps me understand "debug output". 7. Protocol Configuration Guide from Cisco site. 8. www.groupstudy.com, you know? This is the most valuable material of all. 9. several RFCs, including rfc1771, when I thought I need more research. 10. My own lab setup with three 2501 routers at home. I admit all of these may not be needed just to pass BSCN. But I have no field experience, I try to read widely. The type of questions is very much similar to other tests which I took. There's no fill-in, Instead you have to choose a large list of commands, some of which are not valid commands. Final tips just before the test, take a one more look at "show" and "debug" output. Thanks again to all group members. Now on to BCRAN.

If everyone who took a test rated themselves as novices, and then passed, Cisco may increase the difficulty of that test so that "novices" couldn't pass as easily.

Re: PASSED BSCN WITH A 963!
The best book is the Cisco CCIE Lab manual by McGraw Hill. Set up the OSPF,EIGRP and BGP examples in the manual, they are very straightforward, and do the labs, they are not hard. You will need four routers minimum. The material will etch in your brain. YOU WILL ALSO learn it like a router pro, not an exam taker. I cant under stress the use of equipment Try the Boson Exams after that. The BGP is not as deep as it is said to be. Know: OSPF areas, summarization principles, EXTSRAT, EXCHANGE, .

Re: Passed BSCN but..............? [7:7719]
Didn't use any exam simulators so I can't really advise you on that. Make sure you know the three routing protocols' characteristics (both on LAN and WAN env.) and how to redistribute them. Good luck. Regards, cheekin - Original Message - From: "Kevin O'Gilvie" To: ; Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2001 21:20 Subject: Re: Passed BSCN but..?

Re: Passed BSCN - 873 [7:9976]
Imran, I used the Cisco Press CCNP library for routing and switching exams and I've found that even the bits I wasn't sure on were in the book, I just hadn't studied it quite enough. I've bought a couple of the Boson tests and they've been very useful, and pretty reasonable at 20 quid each (ish). Ole Drews Jenson's site was pretty useful too, particularly for the switching. Thanks Ole, I didn't thank you at the time.
