Always wanted to post an "I passed"-post on our forums
I passed the BSCI 642-801 exam today, with a 811 (passing score 776, scale 300-1000), not as good as I hoped to do, but considering my personal life has been a h
ell in the last couple of days, I'm quite pleased
It seems I needed to study more for the various show commands outputs, since I got only 50% on troubleshooting. So call me if you need a Cisco routing network to be configured, technology explained or designed... don't call me when it doesn't work
I'm absolutely sure I got both sims correct. Because the exam outline published by Cisco makes it obvious about which topics you can get a sim: I got one about OSPF and one 'related' to static routing.
It is obvious you can 'choose' which topics you want the sims to be about by answering the survey carefully.
I think it is fair to say that you need to know pretty much everything about routing, EIGRP, OSPF (single area, multi-area) IS-IS, redistribution, and even some RIP and IGRP (although those are more related to 'distance vector' protocols in general.). Because BGP is so complex and extensive, you need to know 'only' the basics (which is more material than what you need to know for IS-IS for example.)
