RE: Exam #642-891 BSCN/BCMSN Composite Exam. [7:74077]
Karl, did you find what you were looking for? It is my understanding that the 642-891 is the only test that you need to take to renew both certifications. That is if you are already a NP/DP. According to the Cisco website, you are being tested only on BSCI/BCMSN. Atleast that is my understanding.

Exam #642-891 BSCN/BCMSN Composite Exam. [7:74077]
Has anyone taken #642-891 the BSCI and BCMSN Composite exam? I have tried to find it on the www.2test.com site to no avail either to book or its cost in US Dollars, UK Pounds or Euros. It seems to be replacing #642-841 Foundations which does not seem to be re-incarnated in any other form as BCRAN has now to be taken seperately like CIT has to be. The other strange thing I noted was that the CCNP recertification for the future specifies #642-891 alone! No BCRAN questions it appears on re-certification. What is happening to BCRAN? This exam also is slightly strange as it is only 60 minutes instead of the usual 75 or 90. With the dropping of BCRAN in CCDP where is remote access off to, no more Modems or ISDN? Isn't progress rapid or wonderful...

RE: Looking for BSCN in PDF format [7:50039]
There are some reasonable places to buy second hand books (to keep the cost down a bit), that probably still have the CD's. Unfortunately, in order to retain the knowledge you will learn from reading the book, you need hands on experience, preferably at work, if not in your lab at home. This generally (for BCSN) requires 2 or more routers (depending on how in depth you want to do the labs etc) so the cost of a book is pretty minimal in the big picture. Try eBay, anyone else know of good second hand sources?

IS-IS Apart from IS-IS BCSN and BCSI have identical blueprints. If you take BCSI then you dont need to make the decision to change tracks yet. BCSI counts towards both tracks. If you are working towards a long term goal of CCIE then a good working knowledge (and experience) of the subject areas in the CCNP plus multicast, QOS, MPLS, Voice etc isnt exactly going to hurt.

RE: CCNP BSCN Passed [7:44541]
The answer depends on your experience. I spent more time working with Catalyst switches rather than frame-relay networks. In my OPINION the Remote Access Exam seemed more difficult due to the large range of topics covered, but you may already have experience in frame relay, ATM, or X.25, etc. I think it would be more important to keep your momentum going...

Thanks for the suggestions. I've signed up for the test this thursday so we'll see what happens. I've been using the Cisco press Routing book to study with. I don't know if anyone else has used that thing but it's probably one of the most sloppy books I've ever seen. In the acknowledgements she thanks the tech editors for their thorough review.

If you're going for the Switching exam, a really good book is the Exam Cram Switching book by Richard Deal. It covers a lot of excellent material and is inexpensive. I found it very helpful in passing my Switching exam.

BSCN [7:39365]
Passed the test. A couple points. The test was somewhat difficult but was basically memorization ,not analytical like computer science(programming). It reminded me of history tests in the past. I used a boson test for 2 days (test #1), it helped a little but was not worth the money. The boson format was not very close to the actual test and it was much easier than the actual test. I read the cisco press book. I have no network experience. As what the test is worth, I'm afraid all the knowledge will be forgotten in not too much time unless I can find a job in this area. The format shouldn't matter, if you know the subject then you'll be ok. Hopefully this will help someone and is of course my view only.

I just took it last weekend. Like John Allhiser says a lot of EIGRP, OSPF, BGP IP address summarization. Not much typing of commands but mostly picking the right command from a list of 60 to 70 commands in an exhibit. I used the Cisco Press and ExamCram books. Generally the Cisco Press Exam Certification Guide series do a very good job of addressing test objectives. Good luck. -Serge.

Re: IS-IS BSCN [7:27955]
Steve, When I last looked IS-IS was not specifically in the syllabus for BSCN. However, it is in scope for the new BSCI which you can also offer instead of the routing exam. It is actually the routing module for CCIP. This suggests that even if it is not on the current syllabus it is likely to come on in the future. In any case it is probably useful at least to have had a look at it. Peter In article , Stephen Neville writes Hi group Iam currently studying for the BSCN, i am using the sybex study guide.

Re: IS-IS BSCN [7:27955]
I did BSCN a few months ago. I wasn't aware that IS-IS was on the syllabus. Pretty sure it's not. I think the CCIE written is the first syllabus I saw which contains it, although I would be surprised if it doesn't appear in the Internet Solutions specialisation. In fact I'm pretty sure it will be in the BSCI syllabus. I bought Cisco Press BSCN and never saw it.

BSCN Route Redistribution [7:23732]
When configuring route redistribution you are able to set a default metric that will apply to all routes redistributed into a particular protocol. In the case of EIGRP there are parameters that must be set, these are bandwidth, delay, reliability, load, mtu. Although I understand these parameters and what they are where do you get these real world values? I understand that bandwidth is the minimum bandwidth of the route, but values like delay. Where are those values derived? In the Cisco Press BSCN book and also various others to include Sybex, they discuss these parameters but never mention where and how they are derived. I don't mean what is delay I know what that is, but how would an engineer determine what delay of a route or link is in a working environment. Or are these numbers in the book plucked from thin air.

A good book about BGP. 3) CCNP routing Exam certification guide by Cisco Press. An excellent book for the BSCN exam. 4) Building Scalable Cisco Networks by Paquet. I personally found the exam certification guide better 5) Routing certification guide and exam notes by Sybex. It is good to read the last week before the exam. It do not go into details. 6) Routing exam cram. It is totally waste of money.I personally like the examcram books and I have used it a lot for the cisco exams but this book is not good. 7) IP routing fundamentals. Cisco press. It is about routing protocols in general and is good for getting fundamental knowledge but not specially for the exam. 8) OSPF network design solutions by Thomas M Thomas, cisco Press. It is better for deeper knowledge of OSPF. 9) OSPF Anatomy of an internet routing protocol. Moy (He designed the OSPF protocol) it is excellent book about ospf and I will read it again for the CCIE R/S written 10) BGP4 Internet domain routing in the internet by Stewart.

Passed BSCN [7:17522]
Hello all, Today I passed the Routing test.I must say that I studied more for this test than any of the previous tests (main reason being that I had zero experience with OSPF and BGP).IMHO BCRAN was a harder test. Anyway the exam was fair and the wording of the questions was very good.My method of preparing was reading Cisco Press Exam Certification Guide, a little OSPF Network Design Solutions by Thomas Thomas, Cisco OSPF Design Guide,Cisco BGP Case Studies (both free from CCO) CIM Routing Link-State Protocols, CIM Distance-Vector Protocols and for final preparation Boson tests. Thank you all for your help, three down CIT to go !

BSCN/CCIE: Friday's Brain Teaser #1 [7:17144]
No, Paul did not implement new subject header prepends, I did that to show where this teaser might be relevant. Okay, here goes. Not too difficult, but the idea is to learn. If you already have this stuff down cold, then please don't answer. ;-) That takes all of the fun out of it. Teaser #1 for today: Suppose you have two links connected to your router, one of which is faster and more reliable than the other. You want to utilize both links for the majority of your traffic but you have a few devices that you'd like to use the faster link exclusively. What mechanism do you have available to accomplish this? Do you have more than one? How would you do this if you wanted to select those devices based on IP address? Let's suppose that this were video traffic with an IP precedence higher than the rest of your traffic. Can you use this for path selection somehow? Now for the fun part. If you answer, please post a *short* configuration example. No need to get really complex, this is only for learning purposes. Good luck!

Recently passed BSCN -- Now CCNP [7:16152]
Just wanted to drop a line... I havent been too active on this list in the past, but have been a member since around Feb, 2000. I have recently completed all the tests needed for my CCNP 2.0 Certifcation and now begin the road to CCDP then CCIE. I am also working on updating my web site and some lab gear online (its currently available in limited blocks to interested parties check out the link below for more info). Anyways I wanted to thank everyone on the list for providing such wonderful insight and tidbits of knowledge. I have learned to how to find just about anything I can on CCO, but if I cannot I normally can find my answer in the archives somewhere (hence the lack of posting).

Re: BSCN [7:12555]
Hey, be very well prepared. The exam is very hard. It doesn't even compare with the CCNA. I just passed it (yesterday) and I got 896. Frankly, in the middle of the exam I was sure that I won't pass it but as you can see I was wrong. I didn't expec this exam to be so hard. I got lots of OSPF and BGP questions, many policy routing and some supernettting. That's all I can remember. Regards. Chris Headings wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...

Re: BSCN [7:12555]
The only tip I have for that test is to really understand the basics of EIGRP, OSPF, and BGP. If you understand how those operate, that will get you through a large portion of the test. It's a little too late to help with this test, but if you don't already have them you should buy the following two books: Routing TCP/IP, Vol I by Jeff Doyle Internet Routing Architectures, 2nd Edition by Sam Halabi The first does an excellent job covering IP interior routing protocols and the second is one of the best introductions to BGP around.

Passed BSCN - 873 [7:9976]
Hi all, Passed BSCN today with 873. (2 down - 2 to go) Dropped below the 900 target I set myself for the 4 exams, partly due to lack of study time in the last week or so, but no excuses, mainly due to gaps in BGP knowledge. Not done enough hands on to really understand it the way I would like to. More work to be done. I like the new (or I think it's new) way of selecting correct commands from a list of many. This wasn't the method used on the Switching exam when I did that a couple of months ago. Saves us dumb Englanders spelling things like neighbo(u)r wrong and losing marks, and I think it better represents the fact that the question mark is always available in real life. I remember in a previous exam, typing in a show command as sho through force of habit, then realising just after I had pressed return. I've got used to constantly pressing tab now while I'm doing config's just to drill the full command into my head. Thanks to all.

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.

Re: BSCN LAB AND BOOK [7:9695]
Wow I used the Cisco Press BSCN book as well as the Exam Cram Routing book as a secondary read. I appreciate your determination to learn the material for the BSCN, however, is setting up a lab really necessary? I know utilizing a lab is pretty much manditory of you want to pass the CCIE lab, but spending a ton of money on a lab for a $100 exam seems a little overboard. But, it seems the 1700 should do what you need to setup a dual home BGP scenario. But I could be wrong... It looks like it supports MBGP, so it should support BGP too =) Mike W. sami natour wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...

Re: BSCN LAB AND BOOK [7:9695]
I have a large home lab (2 years in the building) experience, but I found all that got in the way @ times (with the written exams). The Cisco Press book the Exam Cram is more than enough to pass the test. Remember the exam comes from the Cisco Press. If you read it thoroughly the actual test questions will seems fairly easy to answer. If you really want to use a home lab, practice BGP, OSPF NBMA. All the best !!!

RE: BGP on BSCN? [7:8810]
I would say that less than 7% was devoted to BGP when I took it. Halabi's book is excellent and if memory serves me correctly our own Mr.Howard Berkowitz was going to be writing a new BGP book, Howard is that still in the works? Yes, with somewhat different focus than Halabi -- the working title is Building IP Service Provider Networks. As you might suspect, it begins with the What Problem are you trying to solve? In many respects, it's the mirror image of my last book, the WAN Survival Guide. WAN Survival Guide focuses on the choices the enterprise has in the WAN, including multihoming, VPNs, and developing their SLA. The new book deals with how the provider responds to these customer requirements, and how it builds its infrastructure. While there may be configuration snippets (which will include Juniper as well as Cisco, and possibly others), it's not a how-to-configure book. It's how-to-design and how-to-operate. For example, I will spend much more time on the applications of communities (including extended communities) than community commands. Completion is scheduled for November, but it's flowing pretty quickly and I hope to have it done before then. It would be nice if it could be out late this year, but early 2002 is more likely. Incidentally, I was just part of a panel on Internet routing system scalability at the Internet Society INET meeting in Stockholm. Since there has been confusion about the ISOC site, Sue Hares of Nexthop put them on her site at www.nexthop.com. Nexthop makes the commercial version of GateD. You might get some insight from another document, http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-berkowitz-bgpcon-01.txt on single-router BGP convergence. That version has coauthors from Nortel (me), Cisco (Alvaro Retana), and NextHop (Sue Hares and Padma Krishnaswamy). It's becoming a standards track document in the Benchmarking Methodology Working Group, and will split into two documents, one on terminology and one on the basic test. The new versions will also have a Juniper coauthor (Marianne Lepp), so the procedures should represent a pretty good consensus.

I have had different responses from two different newsgroups regarding the quantity of BGP questions on the exam. so I guess its different for everyone.

Re: BGP on BSCN? [7:8810]
I know that my brother-in-law swears that about every other question on his exam was BGP... I had quite a few probably 20% or maybe more.. But aren't these exams adaptive? I.E. if you miss preliminary questions on a topic, you'll get more of them... I don't know personally, but it seems to be they are because there were times I'd get 100% in an area and know that I only got 3 or 4 questions on that topic.. then others that I'd get 70% in I remembered getting more questions about that topic.. Can anyone confirm/deny this adaptive theory? Mike W. lootch wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]...

Questions from BSCN. [7:8530]
Hi. My name is Haruki Sonehara, a member of ASE-April. Though I have some questions from BSCN, I have questions are followed below. Could you answer them? 1. About Null 0 interface in using EIGRP. (BSCN Chapter 6, p38) I understood the function of Null 0 interface, but I'm not sure what kind of relation between Null 0 and summary address. Also, why is it going to be loop prevention to configure interfaces as Null 0? 2. From BSCN Chapter 6, p16 It is said, EIGRP will not build peer relationship over secondary address, because all EIGRP traffic uses the primary address of the interface What is primary address, and secondary address? What are they necessary for? 3. From BSCN Chapter 4, p16 It is said If the DBD has a more up-to-date link-state entry, then the slave router sends a LSR to the master router Could you explain this sentence? I cannnot understand in detail. I mean How does the slave router(Non-DR) recognize that there is more up-to-date link-state entry, nevertheless the slave router discovered the route for the first time? Thank you very much for taking your time for me. I'm very pleased.

RE: Questions from BSCN. [7:8530]
Hi Haruki, I just passed the BSCN this monday, so the theory should still be fresh in my mind. I'll do my best to help you out. 1) ??? Guess I need to do some re-reading on Null 0. What I remember is that you can use Null 0 in a route map to have packets discarded or you can use it in some way with a summary address (but to make this work you need to have a more specific entry in your route table, otherwise the result of your address summary will be all packets discarded). I'll have to getback on this one. 2) The primary IP address is THE IP address you use to point to your interface. A seconday IP address is mostly used to make discontiguous subnets contiguous again. In other words, it's used as a kind of virtual link to connect two separated pieces of one subnet. 3) As far as I remember master/slave had nothing to do with DR or DRother. Master/slave settings are negotiated for each adjacency. It is possible that the router who came out the negotiation as a slave has a more up-to-date LSP in it's database. That's the scenario described in the BSCN-book. Hope this helps you out a bit, should need any more info please let me know.
