I teach BSCN and the IPX, ISDN, bridging and access-list topics have been
removed. You are still required to have an understanding of how to construct
access-lists as these are used for route filtering and route maps
(policy-based routing). The questions in the Routing 2.0 test map exactly to
the topic areas in the course and I found nothing untoward or unexpected
turning up in the test. This is a much better-constructed course than ACRC
and has brand new labs and case studies to supplement the course material.
The student/equipment ratio is also far better. Instead of having one router
between two students, there is now a whole student pod of three routers (in
our lab at IBM Canada, one 3640 and two 2522s) to be managed by two
students. There really isn't a single topic that hasn't been revised or
rewritten. To my mind, having attended ACRC and seen BSCN, there is only one
major area of difference between the two: ACRC touched on BGP in about 20
pages. BSCN has two very sizeable chapeters on BGP, replete with labs and
case studies. The last day of the course is pretty much one gigantic
superlab with everything learned in the course being configured.

Why not start on BCMSN, BTRAN or CIT first?  BCSN is being published in a
few weeks.but the other 3 are already outnothing says you
have to take BCSN first..so why not take it second or last even?

I agree, don't hesitate.  Once you have momentum, keep hitting the books
and stay with it, so it all stays fresh.

I used Large Scale ip Networking solutions from Cisco.  There are 5 chapters

What did you primarily use for study materials for BCSN? (books)

Re: ACRC Vs. BSCN

2000-07-18 Thread Brian



I will tell you that just from Cisco's site, what they list in the
outlines, they are definitly different.  One obvious note is that ACRC
does not include BGP in the outline, BCSN does..that right
there is enough to tell me not to use exclusivly ACRC materials for the
BCSN test.

RE: ACRC Vs. BSCN

2000-07-18 Thread Trevor Corness

take a look at the objectives on Cisco's site.  In class, our instructor
told us the major differences.  This is from memory, so I might miss
something.

More : BGP, EIGRP, OSPF, Redistribution
Removed : IPX, ISDN DDR, Bridging, Spanning-Tree (all covered in ICND)

Basically, it's more indepth routing, with all the switching/bridging taken
out, and concentrating on IP.
