September 2002: Cisco changes CCNP Routing Exam
On September 13, Cisco Systems introduced a new version to its professional
level Routing exam, known as Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI).
BSCI has an additional section on the IS-IS protocol not previously covered
in the BSCN course or exam. This exam, already in existence as part of the
CCIP certification program, replaces Building Scalable Cisco Networks
(BSCN), one of the four exams required for both the CCNP and CCDP
certifications.
Free Chapters from Cisco Press!
Cisco Press published two titles originally created for BSCN preparation,
Building Scalable Cisco Networks and CCNP Routing Exam Certification Guide.
These titles are still excellent self-study tools in your overall
preparation strategy for pursuit of CCNP or CCDP certifications. To assist
candidates, Cisco Press is providing supplemental chapters on IS-IS. The
BSCN supplemental material can be downloaded by clicking the links below.
The Routing Exam Certification Guide supplement will be posted online for
free download in mid-December.
BSCN Supplement Chapter: Configuring IS-IS Protocol
Addendum D: Summary of BSCN Router Commands
Addendum G: Answers to the Review Questions
Addendum H: Configuration Exercise Equipment Requirements and Backbone
Configurations
Addendum I: Glossary

Dear all,
I'm planning to sit the exam in the next few weeks. The major change to
the
old 640-503 exam according to Cisco (who should know these things) is the
introduction of a module on IS-IS.
I have purchased 3 books all geared towards the old exam (Sybex, Cisco
press
and Examcram), none of which include much info on IS-IS and at the moment
there only appears to one book currently in print that is specifically for
BSCI 640-901.
Any recommendations on how I should tackle this problem? Cisco provide a
link with some configuration info on IS-IS, do you think it sufficient to
read this well or should I be looking elsewhere for further info?
Kind regards, James.
