Exam Description
|
|
|
|
|
The Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks exam is a qualifying
exam for the CCNP®, CCDP®, and CCIP™ certifications. The BSCI
exam (642-801) tests materials covered under the new Building
Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI) course. The exam will
certify that the successful candidate has important knowledge
and skills necessary to use advanced IP addressing and routing
in implementing scalability for Cisco routers connected to
LANs and WANs. The exam covers topics on Advanced IP
Addressing, Routing Principles, Configuring the EIGRP,
Configuring the Open Shortest Path First Protocol, Configuring
IS-IS, Manipulating Routing Updates, and configuring basic BGP.
