| 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. |
