Re: BSCN MANUAL at LAST!!!

2000-09-26 Thread Jim Erickson

Various aspects of BGP in particular. I don't have the Cisco URLs handy at
the moment, but they have been posted here in the past so check the
archives.

Also, since you are taking the class, be sure to quiz the instructor about
summarization and VLSM enough so you "get it" since the coverage in the
class text is limited (too few examples and review questions). If you're
already good at subnetting, summarization and VLSM will be pretty easy, but
if you just barely "get" subnetting in general, they may be tough (or, they
may help you get subnetting overall - who knows).

Lastly, as I said, everything you need for the test is in the class, but
extra info on EIGRP would be helpful, as would some extra practice with
route filtering.

This info is generally based on the things I saw classmates struggle with
during the class. I guess it depends on how easily the material comes to you
and whether you need extra reinforcement to solidify some of the concepts.
The thing I had the hardest time with was there were three main routing
protocols under discussion, each of which did things slightly differently -
I had a heck of a time keeping each of them straight in my head until I did
some further reading. For example, I don't know why, but it took me forever
to remember that OSPF used a wildcard mask in it network command, that BGP
used an optional 'mask' keyword, and that EIGRP used neither.

---JRE---
For extra credit, which protocol uses the command 'summary-address' and
which uses 'ip summary-address', and why would the 'ip' be important in the
second example and not the first?

Jim,

Could you be more specific as to what "stuff" on the cisco site to
concentrate on to increase my knowledge on the subject matter. I truly
appreciate your input.  Thanks!

Re: BSCN MANUAL at LAST!!!

2000-09-26 Thread Jim Erickson

If you are studying to pass the test, the class books have all the info in
it that you will need (assuming GK uses the official Cisco material.) If you
really want to _know_ the subject matter, it wouldn't hurt to study other
material as well, such as stuff on the Cisco site.

I will be taking the BSCN course through GlobalKnowledge next week.  Will
the class manual suffice as a good study guide.  Are there any other books
that I should read?  I do have access to an old ACRC manual. I'd appreciate
any feedback.  Thanks!!

After searching the earth and back, I have finally just bought a copy of the

official Cisco BSCN manuals (two in total) and believe me it's the bomb!! 
I'm happy about my purchase cos I am confident that all I need to study for 
the Routing exam is available in one place rather than studying blindly 
using the Cisco website and various bits and pieces
I can hook you up with the person,he sold it to me for £70.00 if you're 
currently preparing for your Routing 2.0 exams you'd know that there aren't 
any books available yet..

Another advantage I found with the manual is that the topics are laid out in

an extremely easy and elementary manner that it makes an enjoyable read. 
Every thing is covered afterall it's Cisco's official training manual, 
although I have been studying with various materials...once I've been
through 
the manual thoroughly am sure I'll ace the exam...

£70.00 is a small price to pay considering the fact that I have been offered

the same thing  for £300.
If you'd like one too email me direct or ring my mobile and I may be able to

get one for you...through my contact
