Passed BCMSN yesterday

Hi,



I passed BCMSN 642-811 with score 840 yesterday and according to my knowledge passing any of CCNP 642 exams recertifies my CCNA (It was valid through August 2006). I've got two questions:


  1. If all the above is correct may I now assume that after passing BCMSN my CCNA will be valid through 19 August 2008?


  1. How much time do I have to take next 642 exam (I took BCMSN as the first one) and to pass all the CCNP exams and gain this certificate? Or maybe this is not limited ? I haven't heard anything about such time limitations so far.



Regards,



Sebastian

From what I understand, you could slowly get your NP by taking one NP exam every 3 years. This would recert your NA each time you passed an NP exam, and after 12 years you would be a NP. What book did you use to study for BCMSN?

Well this is Cisco so they'll probably have retired the exams a couple of times at least during that period so I'd suggest that anyone planning on completing their CCNP choose a shorter timescale!

I used Cicso Networking Academy Curriculum, CCNP BCMSN Exam Certification Guide and Boson Router Tests in the mentioned order.

Sebastian, Did you use *anything* else? Are you working with routers (Cisco or others) on a daily basis anyway or do you work in another area of IT?

I had access to Cisco equipment only during my Cisco Networking Academy Classes, but I tried to spend my time there as efficiently as it was possible.

Just a quick question, was there any simulation on the BCMSN EXAM? I took my

CCNA exam 2months ago and am writing the BCMSN in 2 weeks time. Any info is highly welcome
