 New routing exam 640-900
Cisco has a new routing exam 640-900 (BCSI - Building Cisco Scalable Internetworks). This exam will work for both CCNP and CCIP. It adds IS-IS protocol to the 640-503 Routing exam.
I took it and passed. IS-IS is definitely on the test!

Does this mean that exam 503 is now scrapped and replaced with exam 900; cos if it is then I wasted money on the Cisco press cert guide. Or could I research IS-IS on its own and continue with 503 cert guide.
ps It's good to be back on the forum again.

 IS-IS info
The 640-900 test covers ISO IS-IS commands as you would expect. You may need to buy a book for that. The 640-503 exam still exists but I think it is going to be phased out.I was fortunate enough to take the new routing class. It is a tough new protocol to learn due to the terms are all new.
The addresses are in hex and called an NSAP address instead. Routers may be a Level 1, Level 2 or Level 1/2. The L1 talks to other L1's in area only. L2's can talk to other L2's regardless of area. L1/L2 can talk with their respective levels and areas.
The CLNS & CMNS are the two types of serv-ices which provide CLNP and CONP protocols respectively. CLNP is the equivalent 'IP' side of things.
I will finish CIT for my CCNP, then CID for my CCND. I may consider CCIP.
