BGP Exam 642-661

[lerdalt]

Well, I'm finally getting closer to being ready. I've read through Halabi's book Internet Routing Architectures, the Cisco courseware, and most of the BGP section in Routing TCP/IP volume 2.

Anyone that's taken the exam have some additional tips for me? I think I've got a good foundation on almost everything. Not a lot of hands on...yet, that's later in the week hopefully. Since it's not what I consider as "mainstream" as the other exams, it a little harder to judge where I'm at as far as being ready for the exam.

Just make sure that you know the exam blueprint very well. You will have several sims no doubt and will get several "test-lets" Only other peice of advice I can give is to know your show commands very well. You will be required to use them and be able to interpret the results.

Thanks. I've been dragging my feet on this one for too long and am starting to get motivated enough to finish it up again. This is actually the first exam that I haven't cared for how they laid out the blueprint. Don't know if it's the format or what, but all the rest seemed to follow the courseware a little better.
