BSCI Exam Resources
Posted by Aragoen Celtdra on March 24th, 2009
While trying to organize the multitudes of Cisco documentation web links I’ve accumulated over the past year, I re-discovered these links that I dismissed as trifle information back when I first came across them. I guess I felt that way then because I didn’t consider the information lengthy enough to contain comprehensive theoretical background:
- BGP: Frequently Asked Questions
- EIGRP Frequently Asked Questions
- IP Routing Frequently Asked Questions
- ODR: Frequently Asked Questions
- OSPF: Frequently Asked Questions
- Cisco IOS Multicast Q&A
But while looking over some of the FAQs contained in them, I was surprised to discover how many of the very same questions appeared on the BSCI exam (albeit worded and used on the exam a little differently – but the same information nonetheless).
In my opinion, in order to get the most out of the FAQs, you’ll have to thoroughly understand the theories behind each technologies first – this is done by reading your theory books. Once you understand the general makeup and operation of the protocols, the FAQs can serve as review questions that can be used to verify how much of the details you can remember. The way I would use them in the future is to categorize each protocols, copy the questions into a set of index cards/flash cards (or something similar) and drill myself until I’ve memorized the information.
