Is bsci the replacement for bscn?

Look at this link
http://cisco.com/warp/public/10/wwt...grams/ccnp.html

It looks like they may have just renamed the course or something. Also would one use the same books or is there new curriculum? Or am I just confusing myslef? Any feedback would be great.

They sure renamed BSCN to BSCI after adding the IS-IS Routing Protocol to the course and it now appears in the Course Outline on the page
http://cisco.com/pcgi-bin/front.x/w...networking:ISIS

and/or other Ciscopress reference books that have included it, such as this Routing TCP/IP Volume 1
http://ciscopress.com/catalog/product.asp?product_id={37DFB87F-2989-45A6-8D01-0521D33054E7}&session_id={893615F1-42DA-46C9-B24A-2008C7F22FC4}

I hope this helps clear you confusion and Good Luck.

This may sound dumb but it looks like the ccnp is now ccip(cc internetworking p). does that sound right?

The BSCI (640-901) and the CCIP ciriculum has in place for over a year now.

There is only one course that is contained in both the CCN/DP tracks and the CCIP track that is complementary, that is now the BSCI course. (Up until a few weeks ago you couldn't use the BSCI course for the CCN/DP tracks.)

As we are aware the CCNP and CCDP requires
Routing
Switching
Remote

and either the Support or the CCDA/CID exams

There are no prerequisites for a CCIP
CCNP requires CCNA
CCDP requires CCNA and CCDA

The BSCI track requires passing only 3 exams:
Routing - BSCI (generally BSCN & IS-IS)
Multicast / QOS
and one in a series of 7 electives.
Cable
Content Networking
DSL Networks
METRO
MPLS
Packet Telephony
Security

So take 3 exams, acquire your cert. more then likely your boss won't know the difference for another year or so. Just don't try configuring one of my switches or remote connections.

"Just don't try configuring one of my switches or remote connections."

Is this if I get ccip, ccnp or it doesn not matter what I get?
