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,

Hello Guys,

Throughout the week, looking to expand the horizons of the blog, I discovered a tool to achieve semi-automatic translation of the blog into English.
I thought this initiative a good time, but never had time to implement it due to my dedication to the Full-time studies.

Now, the blog also has an English title.

Cisco CCNA || Study Guide

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.

Hello everybody,

In previous post I was informed that in the past BSCI and prontifiquei me to detail a little more of the day I had to get this certification.

First, the BSCI was my result:

Note: 911 / 1000

Trim: 790

Questions: 61

Time: 2 hours.

Scorecard:

• Implement EIGRP operations: 88%
• Implement multiarea OSPF operations: 80%
• Describe Integrated IS-IS: 85%
• Implement Cisco IOS routing features: 100%
• Implement BGP for enterprise ISP connectivity: 90%
• Implement multicast forwarding: 100%
• Implement IPv6: 62%

Confirm what many say, the BSCI is difficult! Ensures that all my preparation was not so good, would not in evidence. Unlike the CCNA, the BSCI has more questions that makes you think. In my test fell all content studied. Do not remember anything that did not fall.

The laboratories that fell in my test were:

• Troubleshooting a configuration of Virtual Link in OSPFv3;
• Bidirectional redistribution of IS-IS and EIGRP;
• Other than I remember …

The issues were the most diverse, so the rebound all:

Study and learn, because if you do not this (and try your luck for braindumps) may not be optimal and not pass the professional certification, as this evidence, especially, is Hardcore!

Each second of my journey of study paid off, because all I added knowledge. Now, talk a little as my preparation.

For the BSCI, I had not done any study plan - something that will do for BCMSN to optimize the time - but my study was to 24/03/2009 (the day after the approval of CCNA) until 30/05/2009 (2 days before being approved in BSCI) and followed by:

1. I watched all the videos from CBT Nuggets by Jeremy Cioara (available in HD Blog).
2. I made an overview of the book’s official CiscoPress by Brent Stewart (available in HD Blog).
3. I started trying to practice some laboratories, but saw that something was missing.
4. Li detail throughout the book of Brent Stewart, during the reading was practicing laboratories for each of the chapters that happening.
5. After completion of the book, began my long journey in laboratories. Laboratories of all that I fell in BSCI, often mixing 2 or 3 areas of expertise to observe the convergence of protocols together.
6. Began to address issues of simulated to identify my weaknesses.
7. Identified these weaknesses, reread the chapter of the book, practicing with laboratories and when this issue was fairly safe as the content did a simuladão of this whole field.
8. I was alternating between steps 6,7,8 until 1 week before the day of examination.
9. Relax this last week, as was the feeling I could have done a week earlier. But that was not reviewed the 100% secure (Multicast) and 2 days before the test found a text named BSCI QuickSheat that was quite interesting to see the entire contents of the evidence as a general overview.
10. One day before the test, relax and not seen anything of the content or annotations.

Extra Tips: Always keep a TXT annotations! When you have a question put it in TXT. When you have an information that is new to you write it in TXT. Thus, you have compiled a file of information and can track all your progress, and if the development of your study you have a question that relates to what you studied, you have noted in TXT.

Personnel, per hour is this. I hope to have contributed a lot, and now towards BCMSN. This week will draw up a plan of studies and will publish on the blog for you to follow.

A strong hug and success to all of us.

Hello Guys,

I would like to inform you that today was the HD updated the blog.

Were inserted all books CiscoPress official to study for each of the CCNP tests. Moreover, were included as simulated (TKS and P4S) to recommend its use only to identify the weaknesses in their study.

Another interesting tool for the study that was included is the video Mentors! All are narrated by the author Jeremy Cioara. For all that is good understanding of English is a perfect tool for setting the contents read in books.
