BSCI: IS-IS/OSI suite

yukkyyukky Member Posts: 98 ■■□□□□□□□□
I'm having a tough time memorizing all the terminology for the OSI suite for the IS-IS section of the BSCI. Does anyone have any links or any pointers to help me?

I still haven't perfected that textbook osmosis yet. The book just sits on top of my head.

    It's just like learning TCP/IP -- you're not supposed to memorize anything, you're supposed to suffer until you learn it. icon_lol.gif

    It does help if you find a graphic on the NSAP Addressing Structure, print it out, and use that while reading and doing some hands on practice. But learn and understand it -- don't memorize it.

    Once you get through the OSI Protocol stuff, then IS-IS isn't that bad at all -- and it actually makes some sense.

    The official cert library book makes it appear as if Cisco is a large supporter of ISIS. I guess it really does have its merits ;)
