BCMSN done

I know that all cisco exams are tough... but damn, this one caught me off guard.

After reading Hucaby's book twice, and buying Bryant's BCMSN guides/labs, and doing every lab I could find/think of, I thought I owned this cert.

I don't know if any of you do this, but I like to keep track of how many questions I have to make an educated guess at. Well, with slightly more than 60 questions, I had "guessed" at 18. 18!! And no less than 10 of them were voice related.

Configure support for voice 50%
Implement gateway redundancy technologies 75%
Conduct STP 80%
Describe and configure wireless client access 90%
Rest were 100%

A pass is a pass, and I'll take it. Scored an 890.

I appreciate your help, techies... had some great replies to a few questions on topics that eluded me.

So, on to Routing.

Hey sunil...

I liked Mike's way of answering your question... with the actual exam blueprint:

Describe and configure wireless client access.
* Describe the components and operations of WLAN topologies (i.e., AP and Bridge).
* Describe the features of Client Devices, Network Unification, and Mobility Platforms (i.e., CCX, LWAPP).
* Configure a wireless client (i.e., ADU).

Configure support for voice.
* Describe the characteristics of voice in the campus network.
* Describe the functions of Voice VLANs and trust boundaries.
* Configure and verify basic IP Phone support (i.e. Voice VLAN, Trust and CoS options, AutoQoS for voice).

All I can tell you is, know this stuff... have it down cold. Focus on the trust boundaries. Really understand CoS and QoS. And make sure you have a chance to configure an actual ADU.

If I could do this exam over again (did I just type that??? What am I thinking!), I'd have spent substantially more time on these two topics. I guess I'll get it again when I start on the CCVP.

By the time you get to the professional level certs you shoulf know where to find the types of questions asked. Got to Cisco site and there is an exam tutorial. Good Luck. Oh and your question was not a technical question.
