3). Cisco CCNP / BSCI Exam Tutorial: Using The OSPF Command “Area Range” By : Chris Bryant, CCIE #12933
Your BSCI and CCNP exam success depends on knowing the details, and one such detail is knowing the proper way to summarize routes in OSPF. Route summarization is not just a test of your binary conversion abilities, but knowing where and when to summarize routes. It will not surprise any CCNA or CCNP certification candidate that OSPF gives us the most options for route summarization, and therefore more details to know! OSPF offers us two options for route summarization configurations.

4). Cisco CCNA / CCNP Certification: OSPF E2 vs. E1 Routes By : Chris Bryant, CCIE #12933
OSPF is a major topic on both the CCNA and CCNP exams, and it's also the topic that requires the most attention to detail. Where dynamic routing protocols such as RIP and IGRP have only one router type, a look at a Cisco routing table shows several different OSPF route types. R1#show ip route Codes: C - connected, S - static, I - IGRP, R - RIP, M -.

7). Cisco CCNP / BSCI Exam Tutorial: Using OSPF's "Summary-Address" Command By : Chris Bryant, CCIE #12933
BSCI exam success, not to mention earning your CCNP, can come down to your OSPF route summarization skills. There are a few different commands and situations you need to be ready for, and one of these situations is the proper use of the "summary-address" command. The summary-address command should be used on an ASBR in order to summarize routes that are being injected into the OSPF domain via redistribution.

10). Cisco CCNP / BSCI Exam Tutorial: Not All Static Routes Are Created Equal By : Chris Bryant, CCIE #12933
As a CCNP candidate, as a CCNA, and in getting ready to pass the BSCI exam, you may be tempted to breeze through your static route studies, or even skip them! That's because static routes are easy enough to configure, and as long as you remember the syntax of the ip route command, you're in good shape. But there's one vital detail regarding static routes that many exam candidates miss.

12). 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.

16). Cisco CCNP / BSCI Tutorial: Route Summarization With RIP And EIGRP By : Chris Bryant, CCIE #12933
To pass your BSCI exam and earn your CCNP certification, you've got to master route summarization. When you get to the BSCI level, actually breaking the routes down into binary strings and performing summarization is second nature to you. (If it isn't, get some more practice!) What makes CCNP / BSCI route summarization more difficult is just keeping the different protocol summarization commands straight! RIP and EIGRP both perform route summarization at the interface level with the ip summary-address command.

18). Cisco CCNP / BSCI Exam Tutorial: Ten IP Routing Details You Must Know! By : Chris Bryant, CCIE #12933
To pass the BSCI exam and earn your CCNP, you've got to keep a lot of details in mind. It's easy to overlook the "simpler" protocols and services such as static routing and distance vector protocols. With this in mind, here's a quick review of some details you should know for success in the exam room and real-world networks! When packets need to be routed, the routing table is parsed for the longest prefix match if multiple paths exist with the same prefix length, the route with the lowest AD is preferred.
