Customer Reviews & Comments
As a single resource for the BSCI exam there is just not enough detail or decription of critical subjects to give you any chance of passing the exam. The chapters on BGP and Redistribution are severely lacking in any examples to give you an understanding of how they work. I also question the structure of the book especially the 'Do I Know This Already' sections before each chapter. It is likely you will be attempting your BSCI following on from doing your CCNA and it is unlikely you are going to know anything about BGP, Redistribution, IPv6, Multicasting etc... so therefore question the point of having these sections. I recommend getting the Cisco Press Study Guides v3.0 if you can get them and use this book for revision purposes only as they do contain alot of questions you can go through before you take the exam.
