| What should I focus on for the BCMSN (842-811 Switching) simulation? The Cisco Press textbook has way too many possible candidates for the sim. Any advice mucho appreciated. MM | |
|
| the labs are to do with VLAN configuration and diffrent vtp modes | |

| I only got two... settings passwords on the switch, and creating vlans. Worry more about the theory than the implementation. | |

| Thanks. Those seem simple enough. Did you get asked a lot of commands? MM | |

| No, like I said it was more on theory than implementation.. Know the differences between ISL and 802.1Q, understand EoMPLS, QOS, etc.. | |

| Thanks Necro! I passed the BCMSN today. It was just as you said - 2 simple simulations on trunking and passwords, and that was it - Theory all the way. They did ask a few commands though so I'd recommend that other examinees brush up on them (though not necessarily memorize them as I did). MM | |

| Congrats on your pass! That was a pretty tough one.. lots of memorization. What are you working on next? I've done BCRAN and BCMSN, I'm working on BSCI right now.. how about yourself? | |
| marathi_mulgaa 2004-04-27, 9:56 pm |
| Thats cool. I'm doing the BCRAN myself, since I'm already done with the Routing exam. Hey Necro - Can you recommend the right textbook for BCRAN from the 2 Cisco Press books? | |

| I took 640-605 right before it expired so I can't tell you much about the new exam. I'll get back to you on that one though after I take a look at the objectives to see what has changed. Any tips on BSCI? It looks like it will be the toughest one yet. | |

| I used the "official" Cisco courseware from Knowledgenet - I found it good but not complete. Also did Boson test #1 - Tough but good. |
