It looks like we've got until 10/25. That's less than 16 days before Routing 640-603 is retired (some of you may have 640-503 books which is pretty much the same thing as 640-603). As far as I can tell, the only thing different in the new Routing test (BSCN 640-901) is that it includes knowing and configuring the IS-IS protocol. See the following link:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/10/wwtraining/certprog/testing/current_exam s/640-901.html Also, the Boson Router simulator does not cover IS-IS, BGP, or OSPF in Multiple areas - it only covers OSPF in single areas and EIGRP. Cisco CIM DVP - covers EIGRP as well. The Sybex CCNP Virtual lab ($199) covers BGP, OSPF in multiple areas, and everything else (including the other CCNP tests) but leaves out IS-IS for Routing. If you end up taking the test after 10/25, Cisco has a CIM for IS-IS, which also includes OSPF for $89.96: http://www.ciscopress.com/catalog/product.asp?product_id={032E05FE-681A-43E5 -949F-579FCBA3E63D} (don't click, copy this link since the "}" is actually part of the link.) Here's some information on IS-IS incase you plan on taking the Routing test after 10/25 and don't want to buy another book: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/732/Tech/routing/isis.shtml http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/Support/browse/psp_view.pl?p=Internetworking:I SIS Do any of you nice people in Groupstudy have any suggestions or recommendations to help our little study group out?

Certification reqs. for CCNP and CCDP already reflect this and list only BSCI as an exam for CCNP/CCDP. People out-there preparing for 640-603 should either hurry up, or recheck the requirements for BSCI... Marko. Tvlvupsstur ~essi er fra Margmiplun hf., Supurlandsbraut 4, Reykjavmk.
