Re: CCIP exam info [7:36483]
BSCI is different from the BSCN exam. The BSCI exam is more extensive and include additional materials like IS-IS, etc and it is one of the exam you must take in the CCIP track. BSCN cannot substitute BSCI in the CCIP track, but the CCNP/CCDP track the BSCI exam can be stand in for the BSCN exam. It means that if you take the BSCI exam, you have fulfilled one exam requirement for 1.)CCNP/CCDP track and 2.)CCIP track. But the BSCN have nothing to do with the CCIP track. Enjoy.

Re: CCIP exam info [7:36483]
I have looked at the content that is included on the Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks exam and the only difference I see is the addition of IS-IS material (ok I know it can get as complex as OSPF) but people are saying the sylabus is far more 'extensive'. Could anyone elaborate.

RE: CCIP exam info [7:36483]
All I will say is DO NOT underestimate IS-IS. It isn't just an added topic. I would also warn that this exam is geared towards ISPs. It shouldn't be too much of a stretch of the imagination, then, that BGP is also well represented. I think a lot of folks are misled into believing that a small number of IS-IS questions are added to BSCN. I also think that a lot of folks mistakenly believe in the myth that OSPF and IS-IS are nearly identical. I personally would say that they are distant cousins. Yes, SPF is at the core. That is where the similarities begin to part company. I know this isn't much on detail. But that is as close to NDA as I am willing to go. By the way, I read my way through the various RFCs. Cisco Press has a new book out on the subject. I'm sure that is a much easier read.

I just finished this Cert. I found all of these tests more challenging than the CCNP tests. MPLS was particularly hard. --- Mike Bernico [EMAIL PROTECTED] Illinois Century Network http://www.illinois.net (217) 557-6555 -Original Message- From: s vermill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2002 10:21 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: CCIP exam info [7:36483] All I will say is DO NOT underestimate IS-IS.
