1). Cisco CCNP / BSCI Exam Tutorial: OSPF Route Redistribution Review By : Chris Bryant, CCIE #12933
OSPF route redistribution is an important topic on the BSCI exam, and it's a topic full of details and defaults that you need to know for the exam room and the job. To help you pass the BSCI exam, here's a quick review of some of the OSPF route redistribution basics. To see if a router is an ABR or ASBR, run show ip ospf. This also displays any routes being redistributed into OSPF on this router.

2). CCNP / BSCI Exam Tutorial: Route Summarization And The OSPF Null Interface By : Chris Bryant, CCIE #12933
CCNP exam success, particularly on the BSCI exam, demands you understand the details of route summarization. This skill not only requires that you have a comfort level with binary conversions, but you have to know how and where to apply route summarization with each individual protocol. You also have to know the "side effects" of route summarization.

3). Cisco CCNP / BSCI Certification: Route Redistribution And The Seed Metric By : Chris Bryant, CCIE #12933
In the first part of this free CCNP / BSCI tutorial, we looked at how leaving one simple word out of our route redistribution configuration - "subnets" - resulted in an incomplete routing table when redistributing routes from RIP to OSPF. (If you missed that part of the tutorial, visit my website's "Free Tutorials" section.) Today, we'll look at redistributing OSPF routes into RIP and identify another common redistribution error.

4). Cisco CCNP / BSCI Exam Tutorial: Using Distribute Lists By : Chris Bryant, CCIE #12933
To be successful on the BSCI exam and in earning your CCNP, you've got to master route redistribution. This isn't as easy as it sounds, because configuring route redistribution is only half the battle. Whether it's on an exam or in a real-world production network, you've got to identify possible points of trouble before you configure route redistribution - and you need to be able to control redistribution as well.

5). Cisco CCNP / BSCI Certification: Troubleshooting Route Redistribution, Part I By : Chris Bryant, CCIE #12933
If there's one CCNP / BSCI topic that looks so easy but can lead to a real headache, it's route redistribution. I'm not even talking about the routing loops and suboptimal routing that can result when route redistribution is done without proper planning - I'm talking about the basic commands themselves. Leaving out one single command option, or forgetting what else needs to be redistributed when redistributing dynamically discovered routes, can leave you with a routing table that looks complete but does not result in full IP connectivity.

6). Cisco CCNP / BSCI Exam Tutorial: OSPF Router Types By : Chris Bryant, CCIE #12933
When you're preparing to pass the BSCI exam on the way to the coveted Cisco CCNP certification, you can be quickly overwhelmed by the sheer amount of BGP and OSPF knowledge you must demonstrate a mastery of. One set of details that some BSCI and CCNP candidates underestimate are the differences between the OSPF router types. An OSPF Internal router has one rule - it must have all its interfaces in a single area.

7). Cisco CCNA Certification: The Path To Take After Earning The CCNA By : Chris Bryant, CCIE #12933
Once you earn your CCNA certification, you've got quite a few exciting choices ahead of you! The majority of CCNAs go on to pursue another Cisco certification, and this is a wise decision. The more you know, the more valuable you are in today's IT market. A question I'm often asked by new CCNAs is "Which certification should I go after next?" Often, these new CCNAs have their eye on the Cisco Certified Security Professional (CCSP) certification.
