point-to-point
point-to-multipoint
point-to-multipoint nonbroadcast

2. In an OSPF hub-and-spoke topology, what needs to be done to ensure that the spoke routers would never be selected as DR and BDR?

All routers must be configured with an OSPF interface priority of 0 (ip ospf priority) to disable the DR/BDR election process.
All spoke routers need to be configured with an OSPF interface priority of 0 (ip ospf priority) so that they will not become the DR/BDR.
One of the spoke routers will need to be configured as the DR by setting the OSPF interface priority higher than 1 (ip ospf priority).

3. A network administrator is implementing OSPF in a portion of the network and must ensure that only specific routes are advertised via OSPF. Which network statement would configure the OSPF process for networks 192.168.4.0, 192.168.5.0, 192.168.6.0, and 192.168.7.0, now located in the backbone area, and inject them into the OSPF domain?

r1(config-router)# network 192.168.4.0 0.0.15.255 area 1
r1(config-router)# network 192.168.0.0 0.0.3.255 area 0
r1(config-router)# network 192.168.4.0 0.0.3.255 area 0

when the area is a normal area and the ASBR has been configured with the default-information originate always command

6. What are two reasons for creating an OSPF network with multiple areas? (Choose two.)
to protect against the fact that not all routers support the OSPF backbone area

If one router loses power and reboots, what information will be in its routing table after the configuration file is loaded but before OSPF has converged?
All routes for the entire network will be present.
Directly connected networks that are operational will be in the routing table.
Because the SPF algorithm has not completed all calculations, no routes will be in the table.

OSPF packets are sent with authentication key 10 only.
OSPF packets are sent with authentication key 20 only.

255.255.255.255

16. Which two statements are correct about OSPF route summarization? (Choose two.)
Automatic OSPF route summarization is performed by the ABR.
The metric of the summary route is equal to the lowest cost network within the summary address range.
The area 51 range 172.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 command identifies area 51 as the area that contains the range of networks to be summarized.
OSPF can perform automatic summarization on major classful network boundaries even if no summarization commands are entered from the CLI.
Once OSPF route summarization is configured, the summary route will be advertised even if none of the networks in the address range are in the routing table.

show ip ospf
show ip route
show ip protocols
show ip ospf database

NEW CCNP curriculum v6 - ROUTE, SWITCH + TSHOOT

Beside the already known - i.e. leaked - information some of the key facts are as follows:

• The current BSCI, BCMSN, ONT and ISWC exams will be replaced by the ROUTE, SWITCH and TSHOOT exams
• The length of the new exams will be increased to 120 minutes each
• The ROUTE and SWITCH exams contain 52 questions each, the TSHOOT exam 53 questions
• The price of the new exams will be increased up to $ 200.00 each
• The last day to test for the old exams is July 31, 2010
• The new ROUTE and SWITCH exams will be available on March 10, 2010
• The new TSHOOT exam will be available on April 30, 2010
• If you do not pass ISCW and ONT by July 31, 2010 you have to pass the new TSHOOT exam

The official announcement from Global Knowledge can be found HERE.

UPDATE #1:

FastLane and ExperTeach - the other 2 Certified Learning Partners - also updated their websites this morning [GMT+1] with the same information. 
So we can indeed expect the announcement from Cisco later today, i.e. once the US wakes up.

UPDATE #2:

Cisco just updated their website with the new CCNP Certification curriculum. Of course, the CCIP Certification and CCDP Certification pages got updated as well.

Cisco also released a special CCNP Exam Combination Tool which you can use to determine which exams you have to pass in case you are in the middle of the track right now.

UPDATE #3:

Cisco has now also updated The Cisco Learning Network with lots of information about the new exams. Below a selection of the ones that I found to be most interesting:

1) Special Beta Offer for CCNP TSHOOT Exam:

This exam will initially be released as a beta exam. You can register and take the beta (#643-832) from February 16 through March 26, 2010. All details can be found HERE.

2) The Blueprints aka exam topics of the new exams (login required):

642-902 ROUTE Exam Topics (Blueprint)
642-813 SWITCH Exam Topics (Blueprint)
642-832 TSHOOT Exam Topics (Blueprint)

Please note that these links require you to login to The Cisco Learning Network to access the content. Cisco does not allow to simply copy and paste this content! So please refrain from doing so! Thanks for your kind understanding.

UPDATE #4:

The study materials for the new exams are not yet listed at Cisco Press but this should be only a matter of hours. However, based on the available information you can expect to see the following official books to be released very soon:

• CCNP ROUTE Exam Certification Guide, February 2010
• CCNP SWITCH Exam Certification Guide, February 2010
• CCNP TSHOOT Exam Certification Guide, February 2010

In addition there will be so-called Cert Kits containing Video, Flash Cards and Quick Reference Preparation Packs for each exam (expected around February - April) and finally the Official Self-Study Guides for each exam (expected around April - July).

So it seems that at least the Exam Certification Guides will be ready in time to prepare you for the new exams as soon as they are available.

UPDATE #5:

There is a nice 10 minutes presentation regarding the upcoming changes at Cisco TV. Make sure to check it out. In contains a lot of additional information.

CiscoPress just started to update their site with information regarding the upcoming CCNP certification books. In addition to the above mentioned materials they also plan to publish Portable Command Guides for each exam as before. No scheduled release dates yet but those should be added pretty soon.

UPDATE #6:

Cisco has re-released the FAQ regarding the new CCNP curriculum on their Certifications & Communities Online Support website.

There you can find a whopping 27 Instant Answers regarding the updated track. Almost every question you can think of gets answered. Make sure to check it out.


This thread got pinned and will be updated as new information becomes available.

Please refrain from opening new threads for this topic. All information regarding the new CCNP curriculum must be posted here! This thread will be monitored and cleaned up if necessary.
