 You need to know IS-IS, BGP, EIGRP, and OSPF equally well for the exam
 because each exam will be different. When I took my routing exam (the old
 one), I had almost all OSPF (I think it was OSPF. I know it was very
 one-sided on one of the routing protocols). Other people I talked with
said
 their exams were very one-sided on different routing protocols (one said
 BGP, the other said EIGRP). I'm sure the new exam is the same way. You
never
 know what you're going to get!

No, we were discussing the BSCI 640-901 exam. You're OK taking the 640-603
until 10/25 providing you registered for it by 9/13.

RE: ccnp routing [7:54579]

2002-10-01 Thread Simon Dartford

I wish I had more hands on with OSPF, but as we are mainly a Cisco shop,
there
has not been much call for it.

Whoops, you may have misunderstood my email - the exam (in my case) focussed
mainly on IS-IS, OSPF and BGP. Even as I said IS-IS was approx 10 questions,
the same would have been for OSPF and BGP. I guess I focussed on the IS-IS as
it is a recent component and was my weakness.

Thanks for the congratualtions. It has been nice to take a breather and do
some study for a change. My last job of almost 4 years was INTENSIVE hands on
as a Network Specialist. It was so gruelling I just had no energy left to
study (or do much else). It really killed my hairline but gave me a hands on
opportunity to the extent that I may not see again.

Warriors  underdog indeed!

Wow, I am the opposite. I use OSPF as much as possible here, mainly due to
the fact I had used it whilst in my early stages of networking. I really
like OSPF and love how it it scales nicely in my networks. I honestly
thought that a large portion of the routing test would be focused on OSPF.
Guess I am wrong (again).

Good luck and conratulations on your score.

Hope the NZ Warriors have similar luck on Sunday night.

John

I sat this yesterday!

It is a bit differnet, and in my opinion, better.

Better because there is actual router simulation involved. I had to
configure OSPF on one!

I was caught out on IS-IS as I only started to study that at 6am the morning
on the exam. My diligence was rewarded with %20 on IS-IS content. I fared
better overall and go an excellent overall score (considering my performance
on IS-IS).

It focussed mainly on IS-IS (approx 10 questions), OSPF and BGP. Very little
on EIGRP. I have only really ever configured EIGRP and BGP and I still did
ok. Never seen OSPF before or since!

I studied for one week beforehand. I used the old Ciscopress 503 exam guide.
This was ok and went into more depth than the exam did. I borrowed the
course notes for the IS-IS content, but did not retain anything much in the
hour between 6am and 7am!

IMHO, you will be fine with having done the course and a bit of revision.
Some have said in cramsession it was way hard - only hard if you have not
prepared well! I relied on my practical experience and just browsed the
book. In the final 10 minutes, I was sure I had failed, as all the IS-IS
questions were at the end. I was running through my head when I should
resit, only to be surprised (really surprised...) that I had passed!

Hope this info is helpful
