Hello Guys,

Last night completed the first phase of my study: to assist all CBT Nuggets concerning BCMSN exam following the book’s CiscoPress so superficial.

The next step, referring to my post in the methodology of studies and step 5, is the practice to get in Dynamips. As Dynamips is an emulator of Cisco routers, have to attach the module NM-16ESW that adds functions for switching the router.

After practicing some topologies, controls and other artifacts, will complete the reading of the book studies the official Cisco Press: 642-812 BCMSN 4th Edition, by David Hucaby.

A big hug,

Maurício Bento Ghem

Hello Guys,

Continuing with the study for the BCMSN I came across a tip given by Jeremy Cioara in one of the Nuggets on Wireless. He commented about a very interesting game for the study of antennas, devices and topologies of wireless networks. The name of this game is Cisco Wireless Explorer and is available at this link.

Dei in a given game and found it very interesting character because of teaching that teaches how to put each device to complete a wireless topology.

In this URL, you can give more games to Cisco. (There went the other to give feedback).

Below, follows a screenshot of the game.

I am nearly completing the Nuggests. My next step is to read the book CiscoPress understanding of each concept in detail and practicing what is possible in Dynamips.

A big hug,

Maurício.

Hello Guys,

During the afternoon, put my methodology of studies that use to prepare me for the proof BCMSN (Building Converged Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks), 642-812. This will be the second test required to obtain the CCNP certification, and the first that I was the BSCI. The next evidence will be, respectively, ISCW and ONT.

Materials used:

• 642-812 BCMSN 4th Edition, por David Hucaby. CiscoPress
• CBT Nuggets da BCMSN
• GNS3/Dynamips

Below the methodology.

1. Structuring areas of knowledge for the content of the test. A good separation is used in the book of David Hucaby.
2. Watch the video of the CBT Nuggets for area to be learned.
3. Read the chapter on a surface to check the subjects attended in the video.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to complete the entire content.
5. Try to practice some concepts relevant to Dynamips.
6. Read the entire book in detail.
7. Do laboratories of important topics.
8. Perform simulations to obtain feedback of knowledge.
9. Based on feedback practice or study more. Materials should be prioritized by external credibility.
10. Repeat step 9 and 8 until the time the security in the study.

Extra Tip 1: After a detailed reading of the book, and start of practice, all questions that arise should be settled.

Extra Tip 2: For the BSCI I did a TXT which contained all my questions, they answered and other information that I felt needed to be fixed. Do it! It is a great way to fix something, because the amount of content is huge.

Following this approach want to optimize my time and learning. This method is based on previous experience I had with the other evidence.

A big hug and personal success for all.

Maurício Bento Ghem.
