BSCI... almost made it

in CCNP
first off...wow....that is a hard test
I only failed by 20 points though so for a first attempt I'm pretty proud of my score and I completely nailed the simulations
however I really sucked in multicast (IPV6 tunnels was also something I underestimated) so I will be getting down and dirty in TCP/IP Vol II to fill in the gaps
Does anyone have any suggestions for labs and/or other documents that could aid my multicast study?
The best part though is when I went to reschedule the test this morning (thank goodness for the secondchance
) I found out there's a newly opened testing center where I live, gotta love only driving 5 minutes instead of an hour or two.
a week or so more of study some blue braveheart face paint and i'll be ready to go back for more

WIP: IPS exam
Comments
and here's me thinking this is the next exam im going to take
Bsc (hons) Network Computing - 1st Class
WIP: Msc advanced networking
When ever I need to brush up I always use the Internetworking Technology Handbook. A lot of great information there.
Good luck on the next attempt!

Good Luck on your real attempt!
Somehow I nailed all of the multicast questions and did almost as well on IPv6.. I wish i would have done a bit better in IPv6 , but meh what can you do.
The tunneling stuff is a bit confusing.. 6to4 , manual.. GRE(though thats not really covered here).. Check the cisco IOS docs on IPv6 and Multicast.. it really helped clear things up for me. Also on the multicast its kinda hard to lab up without having some extra work in there.. as in generating a multicast stream. I thought the hardest thing for me was RPF and how it builds trees.. and understanding the mroute table is a bit confusing too.
And ditto on understanding the mrouting table. Whatever!
You've got the right attitude, Nick... you'll knock it out of the part in the second round.
