I sat for the ISCW exam last Thursday and passed with a score of 843.
I had 52 questions and a 90 minute time limit. I finished the last question with 32 seconds remaining on the clock. (whew!)
Primary study material:
Cisco Press CCNP ISCW Exam Certification Guide
Chris Bryant’s Ultimate CCNP ISCW Study Guide
IPSEC, MPLS, BGP and VPN Cheat Sheets from packetlife.net
Cisco Press BGP Design and Implementation
Lots of lab time with two Cisco 2800 series routers and GNS3
Total preparation time ~ six weeks.
Next up, ONT. I’m hoping to breeze thru the QoS concepts since I spent over two months preparing for the QoS exam last fall when I was working on the CCVP. The wireless section will be another story. I’ll need to really focus in on that material.
