Passed BSCN
Hey all, Passed BSCN 2.0 today with an 896. Pretty surprised at relative low difficulty of most of the questions. Any recommendations on which test should be next?

Passed BSCN
Today I passed the BSCN (Routing 2.0) exam with a score of 896. This was the last exam for me to become a CCNP. Lots of question about configuring OSPF and EIGRP. Not much BGP as I was expecting. I studied Cisco Press BSCN book by Catherine Paquet and Diane Teare (ISBN 1-57870-228-3). I also studied the material @Cisco.com at the following links (originally posted by Jim Runnels): > BGP overview: > http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/ito_doc/bgp.htm > BGP case studies: > http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/459/bgp-toc.html > Using BGP for Interdomain routing: > http://cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/ics/icsbgp4.htm > BGP technical tips: > http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/459/18.html > > EIGRP intro: > http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/103/1.html > EIGRP FAQ: > http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/103/eigrpfaq.html > EIGRP technical tips: > http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/103/index.shtml > EIGRP white paper: > http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/103/eigrp-toc.html > > OSPF overview: > http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/ito_doc/ospf.htm > OSPF design guide: > http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/104/1.html > OSPF technical tips: > http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/104/index.shtml > Cheers Manzur Shaheed M.Sc (Computer Science), CCNP, MCSE+I CAUTION This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are privileged and confidential information intended for the use of the addressee.

Passed BSCN
Hi everyone, Just like to thank everyone for helping me out while I was studying for the Routing exam. I am pleased to inform that I passed :o) There were lots of questions on BGP, and quite a few on VLSM, hierarchical routing. I attended the BSCN course, and basically studied from the course notes, and used the Boson exams - which I felt were similar for the easy questions, but the exam had harder questions in it. The course notes were very good though - well organised and everything.

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.

I got an 827. Not the greatest score but could have been worse. My weak areas were OSPF and BGP (no big shock there since I don't work with either of these on a day to day basis).

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.

Passed BSCN/Routing 2.0
Hello my friends, As I I had heard about ACRC that it's a tough exam. It (Routing 2.0 now) was tough for me. I tried to prepare main outlines from Cisco site by different sources. But still, there were questions that I didn't knew they were part of Routing. :> I don't have experience with Cisco devices, just learning them now. I studied it for one week, from ACRC book and CCO(best source)..before exam I was confedent that I know enough but believe me It was just primary level. So my three words for exam are: study, study and study. Know VLSM, OSPF, EIGRP, BGP and how they do summarization and General stuff about Routing (off course). 61 questions 75 mins I have a question: When we answer Survey and put comments, are they used for exam scores? I think NO...But then why before Survey, it says that Cisco will use it to better score our exams?

Obligatory "I passed BSCN!" post
Hi All! I took the Routing 2.0 exam this morning and suprisingly walked away with 908/1000. After completing the exam, I was fairly certain that I would be back for another shot at it in a week or two, but I guess the network gods were with me today. The following is what I used to study from: 1. Courseware from BSCN: Very good. You have top read and understand ALL the routing concepts. I skimmed through the Cisco Press BSCN book and I believe that it is comparable o the courseware. 2. Boson test #1: Good. The Boson test is actually much easier that the real thing. I had about 6 questions on the real test that I saw on Boson. Boson will test your knowledge of the subject and I thnk it is a worthwhile investment. 3. Routing TCP/IP from Jeff Doyle: Very Good. I didn't read through the whole book. I used this book to clarify points that I did not understand on the interior protocols. 4. www.cisco.com: Excellent. But you have to did a little for the info. 5. Study notes from www.routedpacket.com. Great! These are great to read the night before the exam or right before you take it. Overall, I though the exam was about the hardest one that I've ever taken. I used educated guesses on a lot of the questions. The answers are all there in front of you, I just applied the concepts that I knew and used the process of elimination. It was ALL multiple choice. WATCH OUT FOR ERRORS! I had a question that had a blatant error on it. Not that there is anything you can do about it, I chose the 'best' answer that I could. Follow the test outline that Cisco has on their website, the test follows it pretty closely. KNOW the concepts behind the routng protocols!!! I can't emphasize this enough. I had more questions that were analytical than memorization kind. Hope this helps.

Passed BSCN during the outage...
I just want to report my good fortune to score 827 on BSCN (yesterday). I used the Paquet and Teare BSCN Cisco Press book. I had previously purchased the Exam Cram Routing book (before BSCN was published) which I found to be inadequate preparation for the exam. The Boson Tests were a valuable aid in that they helped me focus my attention during the final week on the areas of the BSCN book where I needed more work. I first began monitoring this site last year while I was working on the CCNA and I have been a daily observer since then. I have made comments and contributions when I felt I had something to add. I have learned a great deal about specific questions I have had that someone else had already addressed, but more importantly I have gotten a taste of the bredth of the field of networking. I appreciate all of you contributors and I hope I can earn a spot as a valued member as I become more able to give back.

Passed BSCN but..............? [7:7719]
I have just passed the BSCN with a score of 919. I should be happy about this but I found the test relatively easy. I would have prefered to "manfully" struggle through the questions and succeed after my heroic attempts (OK slightly overstated). Instead I was waiting for the questions to get harder. I know this sounds silly. Maybe I just got the right questions for me? Your comments PS .. no I am not some Cisco Guru (far from it), just a journeyman Cisco network designer.

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.

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. On the flip-side, if everyone rated themselves as experts, and subsequently failed the test, Cisco would have reason to suspect the test is too hard. ---JRE--- ___ UPDATED Posting Guidelines: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/guide.html FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
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, .

Hmmmjust passed the BSCN as well, amazingly with a 919, just like you! My findings are completely the same, the exam was way too easy. While I was preparing for tough, in-depth questions and a lot of CLI commands, the exam stuck at the level of 'What do the letters BGP stand for?'. A shame, let's hope the switching-exam will be of a bit better quality.

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.

2nd time...Passed BSCN & Review {long}
For what it's worth, posting a second time...
{Posting thru nntp, if that matters?}
BSCN review
Test : BSCN 1.0
# of Questions: 61
Score : 850
Passing score : 690
Preperation : A bunch!
Exam Prep
Specifically, I took the BSCN 1.0 class through
IMS http://www.imsinc.com/ two weeks ago. Not
an indorsement, just stating where I went. The
class started off kind of rough, as the
instructor did not show up until 1pm on the
first day...travel probs. Additionally we had
a power outage for approximately 4 hours later
in the week. Luckily, I did not pay for the
class directly...work tuition reimbursement.
I took the test this past Thursday.
The class covered the meat of the material. I
think more importantly, it allowed you to
configure the commands on the routers. And at
this time, that worked out for me as my lab is
in a _Public Storage_ facility, until we move
into the house.
Self Study
BGP BGP BGP. Haven't done the ISP thing {yet!}.
This was my biggest lacking.
BTW, thanks go out to the 3 guys who replied
to my BGP Sync & Next Hop thread. I wish it had
spawned a bit more conversation in the group...
thought it was a good question...ah well. ;-)
I gave OSPF about 1800 ticks of my study time,
due to experience. However, check the links
section at the bottom for OSPF stuff. All my
OSPF books are also in _Pub Storage_
facility, so I sorta winged it there, with
the class being my reinforcement.
EIGRP reinforcements actually came from the
course. And while I had experience with
EIGRP, I didn't know things like the HELLO/
Update/ Query/ Reply/ & Ack packets. So if
you don't either...search Cisco. ;-)
VLSM...you are _EXPECTED_ to know it. Both for
the test and for the class. Not a problem for
me, but if you don't have it down tight, you
need to. Both the test & the class EXPECT you
to know how to summarize {supernetting}.
Experience
First 10 years, I did long haul telecom. T1
guru, back when T1 was considered High speed.
Luckily I saw the writing on the wall, and
hi-jacked into the Networking scene 5 years
ago.
During those 5 years, I had to clean up other's
messes...5 users with a /24...that kind of stuff.
Discontiguous networks etc...all the while
integrating non-Cisco gear into the mix. So
I ended up buying 2 books from Amazon on OSPF,
had 10 days to figure it out & implement it.
You either beat the learning curve or you
don't! ;-)
Well, that's about it. I got 100% on the IP portion;
I think that was the VLSM/Summarization. The funny
part was I got an 85% on OSPF, and 88% on BGP. Well,
it's funny to me, because I feel I should _know_ OSPF
better. ;-) Still wondering what I missed on OSPF.
BRCAN will be _my_ hard test. Half the time I mis-spell
TACACS ;-)
Good luck all...
and keep pressing the packets to the routes ;-)

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).

Thanks to Helena...I passed BSCN 2.0 today!
I met Helena on this forum. I hope all of you find someone as wonderful as her. My 1/2 cent on the Boson exam. Scored 850 + Know your commands well. The show and router command format will be asked of you. Know what mode the router must be in to enter the exam. BGP for me was most of the test. Know the "basics", and commands. Know BGP well or you will not do as well. Then route optimization theories. Know route maps and stuff. EIGRP was second in line. Understand how it interacts with redistribution and NBMA. RIP and IGRP show up only as Classful vs Classless. What are the attributes of each? OSPF, I can't recall one question. Redistribution, about four questions. Do you know how routing protocols pick best path? You should before going in. How did I study? I listened to others on this forum. You will get lots of helpful tips from others. So, that said, thank you everyone including yourself. Hope when you pass a test you announce it here with some tips so we can congratulate you. I purchased the Exam Cram ISBN 1576106330 for BSCN Routing Exam 640-503. I studied and lived this book for two weeks. This book provides a good overview of what can be expected from the exam. However, not enough material is provided. You will need to supplement this with a better book or don't buy this. At the time I purchased this, no BSCN books were available. Oh, there are some concepts like BGP and EIGRP similarities that it does not explain well. I then was approved, narrowly, to take the Cisco BSCN class. This was helpful since there were issues with the book I was not clear on. I suggest you always study before a class. Classroom is for review not as a fresh introduction to material.didn't they teach you this in college? Cisco BSCN is tough since it was my first Cisco class. So get lots of rest and plan to stay till the end. BGP is introduced last, funny since it is the bulk of the test. Stay late and do the labs The NetCerts BSCN book was pretty good. The BGP part was great for explaining the concept really well. Other than that, there are several chapters I did not read. The chapters I skipped did not show up on the test. Concentrate on IGRP, RIP, EIGRP, BGP, Route filters and optimization...thats it! Oh, the Cisco paper on the website 68 pages or so was not too helpful. If you really want to know BGP, this is the way to go. But be sure to apply to an ISP to get the most of it. http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/ics/icsbgp4.htm I'm a slow learner so it took me three months to study. Here is some tips: Don't watch movies or television. BIG waste of time. Make flash cards Get Boson's first exam for BSCN. If you don't, send ME your $100. Listen to yourself in traffic. Ha! Tape record the lessons and listen to them instead of music or car horns. Most of all, be good to your spouse and family. This will take a lot out of them too. I could tell you word for word what will be on the exam, but what good will this do you. You will pass the exams just to get fired on the job for incompetence. Enjoy. _ FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Passed BSCN and a question about CCIE written [7:21815]
I finally passed the routing exam on Monday. I used the following books: 1) Routing TCP/IP by Doyle. An excellent book about internal routing protocols like OSPF,EIGRP,RIP and redistribution. 2) Internet routing architectures by Halabi. 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. I need to read that book a few more times to compleatly understand it. I took the boson test 2 and 3 and the questions were of the same difficulty as the actual exam. I work as a WAN administrator at the Icelandic Banks Data Senter and have about 4 years experience with cisco routers so configuring ospf and simple BGP is not new to me. Yet I found the exam difficult so do not underestimate it. I will now continue studying for the CCIE R/S written exam and I am looking for buying a few books for it. On this list many people have read and recommended books by Caslow. I looked his name up on www.amazon.com and found that he has written many books about cisco. What book(s) by him did you read for the CCIE? Can you give me the ISBN number please. This list have helped me immensely and thank you all for keeping this list going.
