BGP v IPV6 v EIGRP v OSPF exam topics

Minary · February 2014

When I look at the recent Cisco exam specifications (dated 2013) I see this:
25% EIGRP
25% OSPF
5% BGP
15% IPV6
15% Redistribution IPV6 or IPV4
5% Layer 3 path control
5% teleworker and branch services

http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/exams/docs/642-902_route.pdf

Most of the exam material is a few years older than this and has a much higher percentage focused on BGP and less on IPV6.

Does anyone have any insight into this ?

Layer 3 Path control is 10%. I would follow the pdf, unless you can find a revision to it. CCNP is more based on your internal network, which is why I'm going to go ahead and assume it has a higher weight on EIGRP and OSPF. I have yet to take any exams, but this is just my logic

The percentages tell you the number of questions on each topic, and not how much material you need to read to be able to answer those questions.

I myself having taken the exam now twice

Feel this Blue print is dead on. I also started a thread on this same discussion not too long ago as well (so you can get further opinions)

On that note, because BGP only contains a 5% coverage of the exam I beleive the strong knowlege of BGP will be more required for CCIP instead. I deal with carrier / ISP related issue all the time at my work so I may consider this as a next are to focus a CCNP specialization.
