Multicast material
Hi,
Im studying the multicast material in several of the Cisco press books. I have read the self-study guide on this material like 10 times and the same for the exam certification guide. What I dont understand is alot of the material they discuss and use in the lab portfolio.. Like how the transition from a shared tree to a source tree occurs. It just seems like im missing out on some material.
I know that its an intro chapter into multicasting, but you would think the lab portfolio would take into account only things thats in the study guide.
Has anyone else had a problem with this?
I have also used:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/internetworking/technology/handbook/IP-Multi.html
But still without the feeling that i have the full picture.
Any suggestions ideas?

Ick.. more costs. Maybe I will, just a little disappointed if the self-study + cert guide doesnt cover it in the detail you would need...
Forgot to mention i also read the Quick Reference sheets.. still no dice
maybe im stressing
just make sure you really know the multicast routing table inside and out
Can you print anything out at all?
Cool. Thanks alot.
And i understand how to read the multicast routing table, i just think theres alot of stuff left out in the self-study guide and the exam cert guide.

CCNP takes more time than CCNA, remember that.
cheers!!!
It's not listed as one of the exam topics, but it's covered in the self-study guide. It doesn't mention anything about the multicast chapter being "out of scope" of the BCMSN in the book, so I've skimmed it and understand the concepts ... just don't wanna be slammed with something I haven't studied in depth when I take the test.
This post made me look at the depth of multicast and made me wonder.
