CCNP Self-Study: Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI) is a Cisco authorized self-paced learning tool. It teaches you how to design, configure, maintain, and scale routed networks that are growing in size and complexity. This book focuses on using Cisco routers connected in LANs and WANs typically found at medium-sized to large network sites. Whether you are preparing for CCNP, CCDP(r), or CCIP(tm) certification or simply want to gain a better understanding of the products, services, and policies that help you control traffic over LANs and WANs and connect your network to Internet service providers, you will benefit from the comprehensive foundation information presented in this book.
<>In CCNP Self-Study: Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI), you will study a broad range of technical details on topics related to routing, including routing principles, IP addressing issues such as variable-length subnet masks (VLSMs), route summarization, and protocol redistribution. The routing protocols Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS), Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) are investigated in detail. Configuration examples and sample verification output demonstrate troubleshooting techniques, and a case study is used throughout the book to review key concepts and to discuss critical issues surrounding network operation. Chapter-ending configuration exercises and review questions illustrate and help solidify the concepts presented in the book. This in-depth information on Cisco BSCI exam topics will start you down the path for attaining your CCNP, CCDP, or CCIP certification.This book is part of a recommended learning path from Cisco Systems that can include simulation and hands-on training from authorized Cisco Learning Partners and self-study products from Cisco Press.

Why wasn't some of this detail provided in any CCNA books?, By
This review is from: CCNP Self-Study: Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI) (2nd Edition) (Self-Study Guide) (Hardcover)
I have read through half of this book so far and I'm surprised at the level of detail this book provides about routing. I struggled getting structured information about routing protocols like OSPF when studying for the CCNA exam, but could have really filled in the gaps quickly with this book. Also, I remember getting hit with a few route redistribution questions on the CCNA exam that I was not prepared for, but if I studied Chapter 7 of this book there would have been no problem answering these questions.Enough of the past experiences. To a self learner who cannot afford CCNP bootcamps, this book provides and intermediate view of routing concepts that can help augment other books when pursuing the CCNP/CCDP/CCIP track. Also, appendix H of the book recommends lab equipment to build your own lab, which is almost a necessity to really nail the objectives the exam.

Covers all material on test, By
This review is from: CCNP Self-Study: Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI) (2nd Edition) (Self-Study Guide) (Hardcover)
I passed the 642-801 with the assistance of this book. However, I would not have passed with just this book.I should begin by stating that I have no experience in this area. In an effort to better myself and prepare for a new career in the networking field, I decided to pursue my certifications first in an effort to secure a higher paying job. I assume that most taking this test are already working in the networking field and/or working with Cisco products. The amount of information needed to pass the exam and the sheer volume of information contained in this book, presented a problem. I found it was taking me so long to get through the book that I was forgetting items learned in the beginning of the book. I normally would take 2-3 weeks to prepare for an exam, but found myself ill prepared at the end of 3 weeks and completing the book. I then supplemented my study with two items. I used the CCNP Flash Cards offering from CiscoPress. Flash cards in no... Read more

A must have for BSCI exam takers, By
This review is from: CCNP Self-Study: Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI) (2nd Edition) (Self-Study Guide) (Hardcover)
I am using this Cisco Press Self-Study and Cisco Press Exam Certification Guide for BSCI exam. Generally, I find this book much helpful compared to certification guide. Most concepts are elaborately discussed with good lab examples and I have almost no problem understand all of it at first glance. (I have just begun career in networking while reading this book and I don't have in-depth knowledge of routing protocols). I like the author style of writing and I am looking forward to read another of her certification books.Note : For those who plan to purchase this book, please read BGP route reflector and probably BGP community, both found in Appendix A before going for the exam. |
