Do you have the Cisco Press book Building Cisco Multilayer Switched
Networks by Karen Webb (hardback). The reason I'm asking is that my
copy does not have a CD.
Do you have a later edition?

Hi,
The relevant Boson practice test should be okay - the Switching exam is fair
game.
Good Luck!

Hi,
I took it last week.
Not difficult; read and understand the Cisco Press Switching Certification
Guide and know the various switch types.
It should be fine. Almost everything is covered except ATM and Token Ring.
Good Luck.

You have to use it cause you need to restrict the local traffic in Switch
Block instead of going through Core.
As you can specify S3/S4 as root/secondary bridge, there won't be bridging
loop.

I can't speak from a great deal of experience here, but set based

multiple ports with one command.
For example, on a CAT5K, to change duplex speed to full on a whole

Actually, there's a range command that allows you to modify multiple ports
at a time. At least on the Native IOS on the 6500 and 4000s. But I agree
with you, I still like the CatOS better.

hi,
when i took the ccnp exams i noticed a lot of this..
they seem to slip in the odd question on atm in the routing/support and
switching exam`s (i actually saw about 4 questions)..
so i think you best bet is to be familiar with it but don`t concentrate on
it..

If you mean the switching (BCMSN) exam, the only reference that i found for

But i doubt one is supposed to know how LANE works.

How many versions are there? We are talking Cisco exam 640-504, right?
Well, I checked Cisco's website:

According to the above link, ATM and LANE are listed as Network Protocols
covered by the exam, so
How about command based questions in this exam ??
D u have to know details like default timers values in STP etc ?
Boson asks u lot of fill in the blanck question which u have to remember
full command, it would be bit easy if they ask u multiple choice.

The sample Bosons are free but I would highly recommend paying for the full
version. It's a great test. It's difficult and cover more stuff than the
real exam but if you score pretty well on the Boson, you're almost
guaranteed to pass the exam in my opinion.

I guess the answer to your question is IT DEPENDS. I did not get a lot of
multicasting question but some people did. The only advise I have for you is
that you should study and know it because all the questions about
Multicasting were easy questions and could give you additional marks. So
don't
The switching exam does have multicasting in it, when I took the test it
basically went right along with the material covered in the Cisco Press
BCMSN book (which I highly recommend as a major study resource for this
exam.)
I used the Cisco Press book as my only study source and passed it
Download the latest test from http://www.boson.com
They have 2 x 12 free questions for BCMSN (among a lot of other questions).
If you like what you see and want to get more questions, you can do that
very easily, and it's only about $30.-
