I somehow dont really like CBT’s training materials. Studied QoS with KNet & Student Guide thats all passed with 985/1000.

But i believe the eaisiest exam i took was BGP+MPLS. But exam is easy but doing in real life implementation is really tough. Reading alot of materials to understand more on the technology.

Knock out QoS, it’s one of the easiest Cisco exams I’ve taken. Get the CBTNuggets and Odom’s book, study for a couple weeks and it should be cake.

@ colby

Yeah i first thought of taking my QoS exam right after passing my ONT since QoS overlapped so much but i wanted to wait until the new CCNP announcements and to see if they changed anything with the CCIP. Plus it was Christmas time and my wife was already getting upset that i spent so much time studying.

Looks like even if they change CCIP my BSCI will count for a while.

Yeah, the problem is that the ASA has really poor routing features.

I don’t know if this works on an ASA, but for something like that you would create a loopback in your NAT pool, then redistribute it.

Hi,

are there any known problems when using a /31 address?

The RFC is from year 2000 and I have never seen a /31 address.

I am wondering why!

And one offtopic question.

Can I distrubte a network that I dont have in my routing table (OSPF)? I made a NAT pool and on the other routers I have to make a static route and I want to avoid that.
