It's anything but straightforward. It bobs and weaves all over the place. IMHO, knowing the material is not enough to pass this exam; you should get a good study guide (Robert Padjen's Cisco Internetwork Design Guide by Sybex is the best I know of - don't even bother with the Cisco Press boo

CIR is the average speed you'll transmit overall. In addition to this, you can burst (Bc) up to, in your example, another 128K (256K total) for a predefined period of time (usually about 1 second). Be designates all those packets above the Bc; these are marked DE and will be discarded if congestio

Sounds to me like you spoke to the business office, rather than the ISDN engineering group, 'cause this sounds like crap to me. When I used to work for PacBell Network Integration, we would occasionally swap out 3Com ImpactIQs with Cisco 766 routers, etc., and there were never any calls to PacBell

Hooking them up shouldn't prove too difficult. You'll probably want a dual ethernet router (Cisco 1605 or if you're handy with Linux or WinNT just build one). With only a handful of computers like you mentioned, you can stick a hub on the school side of the router, then put your ISDN Terminal Adap

You have to take the same 4 exams to get your CCNP, so the path you take probably depends upon your strengths and weaknesses. If I were to do it again from scratch, I would probably do the ACRC* first 'cause I'm strong in routing, then the BCRAN, then the BCMSN 'cause I'm weakest in switching (VLA
