Well, I finally got all those silly MS tests out of the way (Upgrading to W2K MCSE), and finally got to re-focus on writing the Cisco Switching exam.
Passed with decent marks too- 827. Anybody looking to know this baby out, you definitely need to know all of the topics listed in the Exam Objectives. If you absolutely can't get your hands on some Cisco Switches and a C4500 router, then your next best bet to get passed this beast, AND REALLY LEARN How to configure Cisco Switching - Invest in the Cisco CIM for Lan Switching. One thing though- Don't rely on it for MLS, as it doesn't even cover it :( For that, you'll just have to memorize the commands for configuring MLS, and all the associated config/hardware required for it. But, if you CAN get your hands on at least one IOS and one SET-based switch.... Do so, practice, practice, practice... and you'll ace this test easy. IMHO, Just the Cisco Press BCMSN book will not get MLS or Multicast in your brain to the level required to be proficient. I suggest reading, and then re-reading the Sybex BCMSN Study guide to help with this. Well, off to BCRAN by next Friday! Cheers and Happy ThanksGiving!!
