When are CCIP Course Books Coming out? [7:74073]
Hello Members, Just asking whether anyone out there knows when course books for Cisco's CCIP certification are coming out, especially for BGP and QoS. I hope to get a BGP one as a reference, because the course (and hence the course book) covers more than what is available in Sam's Internet Routing Architectures. Thanks.

Re: 642-801 [7:73509]
Hello, I also did the Beta, but I did not find QoS. One may also be aware that it is a lot easier to now fail this exam, because the passing score is 776. With the exam that broad, one has to actually be well prepared for this one:-) Plus, there is plenty of BGP, IS-IS and OSPF. Good Luck!

RE: BGP and QOS Beta exams [7:73599]
Peter, Yes, you will have to begin chasing VUE and Cisco. For example, I did BGP Beta on May 30th 2003 and I got a letter about my passing from Prometric around 20th June 2003. After a few days, it also appeared in my Tracking System. The same with BSCI Beta 643-801. It could have something to do with your postal address. So, check with VUE, then they should guide concerning how to approach Cisco ... because my experience shows that Cisco asks for a copy of the result of a given exam, and this comes from Prometric/VUE. Good Luck! You must be a very patient person:-) And this is also the reason I do not like Beta exams now.

RE: How to study..Self or Classes [7:73624]
Hello, Knowledgenet courses are okay, but I feel they are by far expensive. You can use the money to get equipment. The material at knowledgenet (for the Cisco courses like BSCI) is exactly what is in the Cisco course book that costs $60.00. The reason I like knowledgenet is that being interactive, I can study even when tired at night, just when reading a book is nearly impossible. I think I have come to like knowledgenet; fortunately, I have not been paying for the courses. Good Luck!

Re: Cisco BGP Exam [7:73516]
Hello, I did BGP beta and I found that Internet Routing Architectures does not cover everything required on the exam, especially if one does not have hands-on experience. This is the reason I suffered, despite passing the exam (to my surprise). You can also supplement with Cisco ISP Essentials (Cisco Press) as well as Cisco's website. And, of course, John Stewart's book as mentioned. Internet Routing Architectures was the main book, but I also found it difficult in some cases. Cisco ISP Essentials is very nice, and make sure you absorb it completely. What I can say is this: If you absorb completely Internet Routing Architectures and Cisco ISP Essentials and then make sure that you get right every question that that you are able to get right, you will pass the exam. I think there is no single best book for this exam.

RE: CCNP newbie [7:71868]
Hi Maia, If you must do one quickly, start with Remote Access. With your CCNA, you can do the Remote Access exam without much difficulty (the old version). Use Cisco Press...Cisco Remote Access Exam Certification Guide. It should take you about 1 month to get it doneyou can even prepare for the old Switching exam should you like. The new exams seem to be much broader in terms of course content, and Cisco Press is the way to go. The plan will continue to evolve; it is fun studying to become CCNP (I think) and with your attitude, you will enjoy it. Good Luck.

RE: Cisco Training [7:71811]
Hi, You will succeed through self-study; I am now a CCDP through self-study and it has taken me some time :) I would say that those 5-day courses are far too expensive, especially now that you have the equipment. Unless you are in hurry to get the CCNP; if you are not, just study one chapter per day. This is possible (one chapter per day), though for routing (BSCI), it may take longer if you are completely new to those routing protocols. Honestly, there is no need to spend all the money on those 5-day courses, according to me. I do not have any experience with networking and I have steadily studied until I am now a CCDP, sucessfully doing 6 exams, though I had to do Cisco Internetwork Design (CID 640-025) twice. Also, when you buy your own materials, they remain with you after the tests. Okay, self-study may be the hard way to acquire the knowledge, but by the time you are ready for a test, you really feel you have got the knowledgethis is the important thing to me. Good Luck.

Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3 ISPs [7:71508]
Hi All, This should be a simple one. I have heard that we have Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3 ISPs.I do assume we only have Tier 1 and Tier 2 in the US, Europe and Asia (Japan, China). In a third world country, can we have Tier 1 and Tier 2? Or we just have Tier 3 ISPs which connect to Tier 1 and Tier 2 in the USA, etc?

RE: pass 640-901 exam [7:70707]
Hi Grant, Congrats! Once you have BSCI behind you as well as BCMSN (as you seem to), then Remote Access will be easy (I think). Congrats!

RE: BSCI 640-901 or 643-801??? [7:70658]
Hi, I took 643-801 recently and there are minor additions - like IPV6, RIPv2, NAT and such like things. I also took 640-603 (BSCN) in September last year. I would say: take 640-901 - unless you want to save some $75.00 for taking the Beta. Reason: you will know immediately the result and move on, rather than waiting 8 to 12 weeks for the Beta result. Hope this helps.

RE: BSCI 640-901 or 643-801??? [7:70658]
Hi, The new aspects of the exam (like IPv6, RIPv2, NAT, etc) seemed basic - probably because I was well prepared. The only reason you may want to do 640-901 has to do with waiting for more than 8 weeks; should one fail, it means one has to re-study again. That does not sound so good for me, considering that the other exam is of the same level and you know the result and plan your new move there and then. Good Luck; I guess in both exams, you have to know IS-IS, OSPF, BGP very well - including how to configure them :) Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7i=70690t=70658 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Cisco Beta exams [7:70659]
Hi, I agree. I think Beta exams are just for testing errors in the exams - from the comments we make. Like I had a lot of trouble with BGP Beta - because the drag and drop mechanism was not good; you drag, but as you drop, it comes out - I despised that aspect because I was meeting it very frequently. Anyway, do the real exam when it is out.

TRUNKING MODES [7:70700]
Hi All, Here is a question, please. Accidentally two switches are connected together that are in different management domains. If both sides of the link have their trunking states set to on, what will the link do? I thought there will be no trunking, but the answer says they will trunk - even with different management domains? Thanks.

RE: BGP Help! [7:70618]
Hi, I have come across that Cisco statement before: I guess it means that one AS does not influence the routing policies of another AS :) In other words (hoping I am right), AS1 implements its own internal routing policy, as will AS2 and AS1 will not dictate to AS2 how AS2 should route AS1's traffic through AS2. Honestly, I wish I could get clearer explanation from the members :) Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7i=70619t=70618 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Cisco's BGP Course is Okay [7:70038]
Hi All, This is just a comment arising after I read a paper in the current IEEE Communications Magazine. I was a little surprised. The paper is, of course, a refereed paper and was written by three guys, one of them a PhD. I was surprised because I could write the same paper just from the knowledge I gained on BGP through self-study. I understood the paper in its entirety without any struggle at all. So, my main point is that we can get good knowledge through Cisco Certifications, knowledge which can even help us attend conferences and present very decent papers. Good Luck.

BGP Beta Exam - Thorough! [7:69644]
Hi All, Today, I did BGP Beta towards CCIP. A very thorough exam, with some bugs and grammatical mistakes here and there. It is so thorough and long that if you are not well prepared, you will pass with difficulty. No time to thinkeven a faster reader like me had problems. The first question took me about 10 minutes (should take about 1.5 minutes). From then on, I knew that I was always going to struggle. It is a nice exam to prepare for, full of diagrams and configurations! We need such kind of exams for certifying competent professionals. If I do not pass, I will gladly have the same experience again. Very nice intellectual challenge, I thought! To Cisco Nuts, Thanks for the hints!! I appreciate that so much. Good Luck!
