Well I beat the deadline on the routing exam, passed with 848. I totally tanked Implementing BGP in Scalable Networks (33% ouch) but did well enough in the other ares to make up for it (actually max'ing several other categories). I don't feel that the actual test was a hard a Boson but still a tough test.

For the record I used both BSCI Cisco Press books and Boson tests and router sims. I also have an O'Reilly book called CISCO IOS Access List - it's awesome for route maps, redistribution and policy based routing tips (part of the reason I was so bummed by my low BGP results). Plus, I have a 6 router lab (5 X 2500 and a 3600) with 2 switches (and older 3000 and a 1900). I'm looking at buying or borrowing a CAT 5000 and a 2900. I was able to complete most of the Router labs in the Cisco books with my set up.

I'm going to try and complete the remaining 3 640 exams before they expire so I got my work cut out for me. Must be registered by Sept. 7 and have 45 days after that to complete them. Any advise???

Congrats and thanks to you SF18C .....

Have you completed all other exams of CCNP .. It was my first exam for CCNP ... Now I'm thinking to take solaris exams first , and wait for the books for the new curriculum of CCNP to be available in the market ... By that time I'll clear my Solaris exams .....
Here in INDIA ,we get books from Cisco press very late .....


Shadow 123 : I used some dumb simulations ....If you want I can forward those to you .... But if you follow the Cisco press BSCN book and practise hands on exercises , there is really no need to have a simulation ...
